ASUS-Eee-PC-T91MT-DemoJust yesterday ASUS launched the T91MT over in the US making it available to buy from Amazon.com. If you have your eye on the new Tablet netbook and are not sure how the multi-touch interface works then check out the video below.

The T91MT runs the Windows 7 Home Premium operating system that allows a number of multi-touch functions to work on the device. A look at the video shows that it runs quite smoothly although I’d prefer to see it actually running live than seeing a promotional video. [Read more…]

Quad-Core 27″ iMac’s Now Shipping

iMac-27-inch-quad-coreJust a few weeks ago Apple [AAPL] launched a new range of iMac’s that have screen sizes of 21.5″ and 27″. A number of new configuration options were also announced which includes a new Core i5 and i7 quad-core Intel processor. Although lower spec models have already been shipping, we now hear that the quad-core versions have also started to ship.

Putting a more powerful processor in your new iMac isn’t cheap though. For the standard spec quad-core (Core i5) the cost is $1999 which of course can further increase if you decide to go for more than the standard 4GB of RAM. If you opt for the Core i7 then add another $200 to the base cost of the machine. [Read more…]

The USB Modem it’s self is just as interesting as any other USB modem although I guess if we were to pass comment on it we’d mention it looks like it has some sort of fancy swivelling USB connector to allow it easier access to awkward ports on a laptop. [Read more…]

O2 to Unlock iPhone from November 10

o2-official-iphone-unlockMatthew Key of O2 has confirmed that Apple [AAPL] iPhones on the O2 network that are out of contract or over a year old for PAYG will be able to have them unlocked so they can be used on any network.

For those out of contract the unlock service will be free, whereas those with a PAYG iPhone over a year old will need to pay £14.97 for the service.

There is absolutely no truth in that rumour. Once the iPhone becomes available on other UK networks, we will allow O2 customers to unlock their iPhones, although of course they will still need to honour any outstanding contract period they have. At the end of their contract period, they are entirely free to move to another operator though naturally we hope they won’t want to!

HTC Netbook Could be in the Works

HTC-NetbookNetbooks have taken off over the last 18 months or so which is due to their small size and good usability. HTC mentioned recently that they want to be part of this when Peter Chou mentioned the are… “carefully looking into that category and how it can be part of that”. What HTC are not doing is becoming another me-too though by just creating another Netbook. What HTC want to do is something unique that makes their netbook range stand-out from the others.

No dates of release are known yet and it is also unknown exactly what they are working on although I’d say we can expect some good power, storage, a decent touchscreen for perhaps a HTC tablet. [Read more…]
