digg_url = 'http://digg.com/microsoft/Windows_7_running_on_the_VAIO_P'; We just couldn't help

(more)Palm Pre / webOS launch roundup (Saturday 10th of January 2009 01:46:00 AM)
The dust has begun to settle around Palm's event yesterday, and we're still sorting through
all the news. Palm doubtlessly packed a lot of "New-ness" (yet weirdly, no actual "New-ness")
into its announcements yesterday, and it's pretty easy to get lost ...

(more)Pegatron and Freescale team for low-power, ultra-cheap netbooks and nettops (Saturday 10th of January 2009 01:14:00 AM)
Pegatron has been pretty quiet ever since it split off from ASUS to do ODM stuff all by its
isolated -- which is sort of the idea, since Pegatron's mainly doing the behind-the-scenes
manufacturing. We're glad, however, that the company peeked out of ...
(more)Motorola SURF A3100 video (and pictorial) hands-on (Thursday 08th of January 2009 09:35:00 AM)
Like the Curve 8900, it turns out that Motorola's SURF is a device that kinda needs to be seen

accessories to the desert. Kicking things off right is the simply ...

(more)Sakar kicks out new Vivitar cameras, DSLR lenses (Tuesday 06th of January 2009 01:10:00 AM)

by the numbers to Bahr Mahony, producer of AMD's mobile arm who we ...

We hate to harsh on Toshiba here, we honestly do, but what in the world is it thinking? As if
its clearly unimpressive Super Resolution mechanize wisdom wasn't embarrassing enough, we're
now hearing that the outfit is heading to release a line of precedent ...
(more)Dashboard Devices to debut ENV line of in-car computers at CES (Thursday 25th of December 2008 02:06:00 PM)

really took off, Dashboard Devices is hoping to revive it either way come January. The outfit
will reportedly debut its ENV (Entertainment and pelagic for ...

(more)Philips underwhelms with lackluster iPod / iPhone accessory line (Sunday 14th of December 2008 01:49:00 PM)
Is it any wonder Philips is opting out of making a stop at CES this year? If it showed up with
