Toshiba adds the limited edition Portégé M800 notebook to their collection
At a press launch in Paris this morning, Toshiba has given the masses a couple of new laptop models to gnaw their teeth over indecisively. The Portégé M800, pictured, is unlike their previous Portégé offering (the R500), as it’s finished in a pearl-white casing, with silver contrasts and white LEDs.
Measuring in at 13.3″, it will be released into the wild in Europe, the Middle East and Africa later this year, Q3 to be ‘precise’…
A robot war to make your heart bleed: the Pleo gets savaged at Maker Faire
For the queasy-stomached, I would suggest you find another computer monitor to stare at. It’s pretty grim. That deflated yellow and green skin littering the ground in the photo above is actually a Pleo, after a ruckus at the weekend’s Maker Faire in the US.
Take a look below the jump for the video footage of the poor defenseless dino getting savaged by Vicious Verdict, a rival ComBot robot. Be warned – it’s pretty gruesome…
Parrot puts on airs with its Andrée Putman designed digital photo frame
Parrot’s been busy putting on airs recently, trying to shed its image of being a pocket-friendly company, with the launch of a new digital photo frame designed by French designer Andre Putman.
At £250, it’s a fair cry from Parrot’s usual offerings, yet the 7″ frame offers the standard fare, of Bluetooth connectivity plus an SD card slot for displaying photos, otherwise the internal memory can reportedly hold…
HTC not scared of iPhone launch, announces 3G Touch Diamond smartphone with June release date
HTC has today announced what we were all expecting, the touchscreen Diamond smartphone which is due to be the follow-up to the popular consumer-led Touch.
Running on Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro, it lacks a hardware keyboard, with the 2.8″ touchscreen being an obvious draw. As expected, it’s 3G enabled, with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and a 3.2-megapixel camera. An impressive internal storage of 4GB, it also features a microSD slot within its 10.7mm of thinness…

HTC is already down in the books as being a member of the Open Handset Alliance schemewith Google, and will be releasing an Android handset later this year apparently, however it’s looking likely next Tuesday will usher in the Diamond model, a 2.8″ touchscreen HSDPA mobile, the first of the HTC clan to run on Windows Mobile 6.1….
LG doesn't want to miss out on any OLED action, announces 32" panel
Quite a lot of OLED news this week, with Samsung and Panasonic joining Sony to the super-thin panel race, and LG calling out after them “wait for me, guysch!” and announcing a massive 32″ screen.
Not much else is known about this mysterious 32″ OLED TV, except that LG’s factory in Paju, Korea, is ramping up the production of the panels, with the words ‘volume production’ being quoted. It looks likely that this 32″ TV is lined up for a 2011 release date, a couple of years after Samsung’s 2009 job. Hopefully…
Pioneer parties like it's 1999 with the DV-610AV DVD & SACD player
All those who thought SACD was dead, raise your hand! All those who’ve never even heard of SACD, raise your hand!
I’m so disappointed in all of you.
By the looks of things, Pioneer is too, as they’ve just announced a new DVD/SACD player, that should be dropping mid-year. The DV-610AV features upscaling technology, plus plays content from SACD,…
ASUS announces the bamboo Eco Books will launch in June, to the distress of pandas
Those attractive notebooks made from laminated bamboo look set to drop in June, according to a Chinese newspaper.
The reported price is NT$50,000, which converts to a concise $1,651.80, or £832. On the whole, ASUS notebooks tend to be quite affordable, so I would be very surprised if they charge the UK market over £1,000 for it. Their ‘Eco Book’ monikers…
