If you are a Windows Mobile (Windows Phone I should say) fan, then you’re in for some good news. HTC are bringing two new HTC phones to Verizon. A third handset also gets an updated render of what it could look like.
First off is the HTC Touch Diamond 2 that is codenamed Whitestone. This is the phone pictured on the left and has the following features… [Read more…]
Over at the recently held GDGT party a Zune HD was on show. The demonstrator strictly said no pictures could be taken although the person who recorded the video still captured it anyway (they did say pictures, not video).
As can be seen in the video after the jump, the interface runs very smoothly. Windows Phone OS will actually be using a very similar style interface when launched soon. [Read more…]

Inside each mini cooper there’s 4GB of storage space. [Read more…]
The Musical Kettle now ranks as one of the most bizzare kitchen gadgets you will find. It works just like a normal kettle whistle in that the air pushed through it causes it to make a noise… but in this case the noise can be varied.
The creator says…
I wanted to contribute to the design of daily domestic noises. alarms, mobile phones, a doorbell; he is of the opinion that not enough thought has been given to the noises they produce. The musical kettle is a part of series ‘re-design soundscape’. As the kettle boils it whistles your favorite tune.

This probably ranks as one of the most weird and odd USB flash drives I have ever seen. It’s designed to look like chopped off finger. The creator describes them as Cool and Creepy.
Each finger is freshly cut and removed from the local morgue (yeah, just a joke… hopefully) and is stuffed with 2GB of memory. The creator tried to make them as realistic as possibly by also including finger prints. [Read more…]
Here we have another steampunk USB flash drive that was created by a Russian modder from Modnews.

It appears that the Dell Mini 12 and Mini 9 have been discontinued. I am guessing the Mini 9 might have just been a tad too small while the Mini 12 was a tad too large for a netbook. Of course I might be completely wrong there.
A quick look over on the Dell site shows that the Mini 12 is not on offer and confirmation from Dell support also says the Mini 9 is being phased out. It’s a shame really as they were quite decent little netbooks. Not to worry though as there are plenty more on the market. [Read more…]
