You remember me talking about holding off that Dell ? Well the very cool Crystal LCD's are here (and boy are they pricey)! For $1200 you get a 22" 1680 x 1050 display. I only see these on Dell's US site and don't see them on the UK site yet. Not sure how long before they show up here. I am surprised Dell did not get this out in time for...

HTC just released a new phone here in the UK called HTC Touch . Not only is this very cool but is something you can touch, feel (and buy) today in the UK unlike the over-hyped iPhone . There are of course more pictures , not to mention the specs and videos .
If you were in the market for a new laptop especially a Tablet then Dell is coming ! Not only that - they have some awesome ultra-thin Monitors which are only 0.5 inch thick and will support HD resolutions and allow you to daisychain multiple monitors.

I saw the Carver One in an old Top Gear program and boy it sure is the gadget to end all gadgets! You can see some videos here and more pictures and wallpapers . Now, on Top Gear, if I heard it correctly the cost was £22.5K, but as per the UK dealer , if you include VAT, this costs £27,654. Also that is without any options and accessories! Either you can...
I have finally taken the plunge and am going to switch over to a phone running Windows from my existing Symbian based Sony Ericsson P910i . The fact I cannot get emails on the phone is the deal breaker and also since I upgraded to Office 2007, I cannot sync the phone with Outlook. I just ordered the HTC TyTn and I should be getting it in a week or so. You...

The first time I heard of Microsoft's Origami Project, was this morning in the papers ; the official site does not say much; but I was pointed to this leaked video , by a good friend who shall remain name less (don't want to get him in trouble, now do I?). :) I have been told it runs some version of XP, but not sure on what exactly (embedded vs. regular...

With all the Virtual Machines I have (not all that many really), my external USB 40gb HDD is almost full and its time to buy another one which is a little bigger and faster. My criteria was a 100 gb at least and preferably a 7200 rpm in a 2.5" factor - which are quite rare these days, but it seems like I found the perfect fit for me. Seagate has their new...
If not, then what do you think of this one ?
Believe it or not, but at TechEd Europe 2005, Microsoft is giving away an XBOX 360 as a lucky draw. All the attendees who submit feedback for each session are entered in the lucky draw and one winner from every session is being given a XBOX 360 - a full, what is it, 4 months before public launch? No, I have not seen it yet, if I do, keep watching this space...
