World's First Dual-SIM WIndows Mobile Phone Keeps Girlfriends and Wives Separate [Smartphones]
Dual-SIM phones that let you have your phone be simultaneously on two GSM networks are nothing new, but until now they've been on regular phones. This makes no sense. Who needs two phones? Businessmen. And businessmen need phones that scream "I AM A BUSINESSMAN!" Few do that better than Windows Mobi
Nehalem - Not built for gaming
Interesting analysis of the Core i7 “Nehalem” processor over on AnandTech: IDF has started and the first benchmarks of Nehalem are going to start popping up. It is without a doubt an impressive architecture with a much better platform to run on, but this CPU is not about giving you better frames
AMD's $69 2.8GHz Athlon X2 7850 Black Edition CPU Reviewed (Verdict: Not Bad For the Price)
Years ago I used to build with AMD processors because I was looking for decent power at an affordable price. Their new Athlon X2 7850 Black Edition claims to do that for only $69. So far reviews have been generally positive, with the consensus being that the 2.8GHz chip with 2MB of L3 cache is
Mobile Chipsets: WTF Are Atom, Tegra and Snapdragon?
Low-power processors aren't just for netbooks: These computers-on-a-chip are going to be powering our smartphones and other diminutive gadgets in the forseeable future. So what's the difference between the Atoms, Snapdragons and Tegras of the world? Intel Atom The current reigning king of low-cost,
Lexar Media Crucial SSDs Will Force Some Speed Into Your Notebook
Well, we were impressed by Corsair's 240/170MB/s read/write speeds, but the new Crucial line tops it with a 250MB/s read and 200MB/s write. Even better, the Crucial SSDs are available right now. The Crucial SSDs are available in the current standard of 64GB, 128GB and 256GB capacities at price po
Disposable Paper Laptops
I quite agree with Je Sung Park when he says that disposable cameras and cell phones have gained acceptance, so why don’t we take the next step and bring out a disposable computer. His Recyclable Paper Laptop is quite a raw version and could do with some refinement. It uses recycled paper or pul
Sony Intros 16.41MP Camera Capable of 1080p HD Video, Showing Up in Phones Next Year
If you thought the 14MP camera found in the Altek Leo was impressive, wait until you get a load of this 16.41MP bad boy Sony just dropped. The Exmore R-based CMOS sensor will be hitting handsets starting next year and will be sure to do its part in the continual ante-upping of the smartphone war
Engineers Solve 80-Year Old Puzzle to Make Computer Modeling 100,000 Times Faster
A quantum physics breakthrough that can predict the kinetic energy of electrons in simple metals—and semiconductors—will enable computers to simulate the behavior of new materials up to 100,000 times faster than they currently can. That's huge. Princeton engineer Emily Carter led the projec

Iomega eGo Hard Drives Are Pretty Enough, Cheap Enough
I don't ask much of portable hard drives: they should be affordable, easy on the eyes, and better not require an external power source. So I kinda like Iomega's pretty, cheap(ish), USB-powered eGo drives. The price isn't super-low, but these drives, which start at $85 for the 250GB model and top ou

What if cellphones knew what sort of moods we were in? What if they could anticipate to whom we’d crave to talk? What if they knew which calls we’re waiting for? If Intel has its way, they soon will.
The cell phones of 10 years ago look like ancient relics compared to the smartphones of today.
