Wow is what I say to this one. 4GB in one small SD sized card. Who would have thought that this was possible 10 years ago? The 4GB SDHC from Toshiba. SDHD is a high capacity SD card which unfortunatly is not too compatible with current readers. Shame… but still worth shelling out for a new device hey?? 😀
It has a minimum write speed of 4MB/s and will eventually come with capacities of up to 32Gb.

The new Alienware core book is not suprisingly good looking! It boasts a weight of 6lbs has a dedicated graphics card (128Meg ATI Mobility radeon) and also has the option of a 256Mb NVidea GeForce Go7600. Screen resolutions are pretty good too with a max of 1920×1200.

The P300 is the latest in the line up of mobile phones from Samsung. My first impression was that this looks like a calculator. It is a phone though 😉 and I am sure it does have a calculator on it too.
The P300 is the size of a credit card and not much thicker either. It’s dims are 8.6 x 5.4 x 0.9cm. It’s screen is a 1.8″ LCD which is very good on the eyes.
Important stats include Bluetooth, tri-band (900/1,800/1,900 MHz) GSM/GPRS network connectivity and a 1.3 megapixel camera with flash and 4x digital zoom. If that wasn’t enough the phone manages to pack in an MP3 player supporting MP3, AAC, AAC+ and e-AAC formats, a video recorder with playback and video messaging capabilities, and 80MB of memory.

Qool labs, another company I have never heard of, have launched the QDA Lite and QDA Icon.
Quote from UberGizmo
The QDA Lite and QDA Icon from Qool Labs’ are actually repackaged devices, with the former being the Lite-On Phoenix 2 and the latter a TechFaith Wireless prototype. The QDA Lite is powered by an Intel PXA270 520MHz processor and comes with 64MB RAM, 128MB ROM, tri-band GSM/GPRS support, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0, USB Host, a 2.0-megapixel camera, an SDIO/SD/MMC slot, a 2.8″ QVGA (240 x 320) TFT-LCD, 1240mAh battery, and Windows Mobile 5.0. The QDA Icon has less detailed specs, but it is confirmed to carry GSM/GPRS/Bluetooth/WiFi connectivity, a 4 megapixel camera, and a 2.4″ QVGA (240 x 320) TFT LCD.
Bell + Howell have created a 10 megapixel digital camera which is to be launched soon at $219. It has some cut down features and is classed as a camera for extremely casual beginners in the digital camera scene. It measures just 0.875″ in thickness, has 8x digital zoom, 16Mb built in memory and a much needed SD card slot. Also it can make videos and has a 1.5″ colour LCD screen. It doesnt look too great in my opinion and for being 10 megapixel I would have expected more built in memory as well as a better screen as well as optical zoom 🙂 Not much more I want other then that.

The new Toshiba Satellite M105 is a nice core duo spec laptop with a nice price tag! If you are wanting something less expensive but not lacking performance then this is for you. It will be on the market for $1050 direct, cheaper at retail. It only weighs 5.2 pounds.

What on earth is a super gadget? Mustek have created it and I will tell you 🙂 A super gadget is something that plays music, videos, has a built in 10 Mega Pixel camera and can encode footage from TV’s or DVD players as well as a whole lot more.
The mustek is an amazing looking little device that seriously packs a punch in it’s tiny case.
The price? Not much to be honest. They have squeezed all this in to a less then $200 package.
Unfortunatly it’s not really a 10 Mega Pixel camera… it’s a 5 megapixel interpolated. It is still a good bargain at the price it is coming on sale for and you will need a hefty SD card to capture recordings.

This weird looking DAB radio is really kind of cool 🙂 and sports a titanium silver finish.
You can also pause and rewind live broadcasts, set up to twenty alarms to wake you with live or recorded content (up to 15 hours on a 1GB card), and output the audio via an S/PDIF jack if those bug-eye speakers aren’t doing it for you

According to Gaston and TheInquirer a Dell set on fire in a conference. It was on the table at 1 point and then accompanied by flames shortly after. It makes me wonder if I want to take my battery powered devices on a plane, or even leave them around anywhere. Hopefully it was just something like he dropped a drink on a battery and it shorted or something. It can be kind of scary seeing things like this happen. No doubt Dell will be looking at these pictures around the internet thinking "oh dear".
