Sony Ericsson Experia X1

Wow I think I just found my next phone. Check out the Sony Ericsson Experia X1.

Despite the wow factor of the iPhone interface I’ve been sticking to my old Windows Mobile XDA IIs as I find several things lacking on the iPhone - non removable batteries, phone and sms features are a bit primitive, no 3G, can’t be used as a modem, no cut and paste - if you ask me no phone should call itself a “smart” phone if it can’t even do something as basic as cut and paste. Add to that the fact that I have several windows mobile apps which I can’t do without that can’t be found on the iPhone (I guess Bill Gates or rather Steve Ballmer owns me).

The Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread

Wow (or rather the newly fashionable W00t!), the greatest thing since sliced bread just got better. Reports have it that the PSP will be getting Skype and not only that it has a solar powered charger!

Sony PSP Phone is Coming… Again ?

One of the oft-repeated rumors on the internet is the coming of a Sony PSP Phone though nothing concrete has really come out of it. It doesn’t help though that Sony seems to delight in rekindling the rumors by constantly dropping hints about it’s possible development:

Sandisk Sansa TakeTV

I came across this new product from Sandisk - the Sandisk Sansa TakeTV. Basically it’s a USB stick (in either 4GB or 8GB), the twist is that you can connect it to a TV (thru S-Video or Composite Video) and have it play video files. It can play MPEG4 videos including DivX and Xvid supports both NTSC and PAL.

Sansa Clip: iPod Shuffle Killer ?

I’ve been thinking of going back to the gym lately. I’m one of those guys who sign up for a whole year to get a discount, go to the gym religiously for the next two months then find excuses to start going to the gym less and less until I eventually stop going. Yup I’m […]
