» Sony continues its assault on the competitive portable computing market with some colourful offerings in the new mid-range CW series. The series seems to have achieved the difficult task of maintaining the high style bar Sony have set while taking the sting out of the price tag, which many users might say is overdue. "So, what's the catch?" a discerning shopper might ask. Let's take a look at the CW26FH to see if Sony have their strategy right to help them get back into profit this quarter.
Already looking to the next Apple news
Database, James Hein, Published on 17/02/2010
» Seems the feedback for the iPad has been a bit lukewarm. Some have described it as ''an iPhone having a mid-life crisis''. It is like the iPhone but without multitasking, no Flash and no wide screen video playback capability. The iPhone itself is still dong well but the new unit didn't live up to expectations. Some of the problem is the responsibilities Apple has. They need to keep their developers happy to minimise app rewriting. Then there are the shareholders who expect customers to be locked into the iTunes store for everything, hence there is no Flash and you will not be able to play Evony or Farmville on your iPad.

One heck of a notebook
Database, Pee Kay, Published on 03/02/2010
» My interest in personal computers started almost 30 years ago, during the period of Apple II computer. If you are a creature of that era, you'd know that it's hard to forget Osborne 1, the first portable computer ever introduced by the industry. This marketing and technological marvel, featuring a mere 5-inch display, two floppy-disk drives, a 4 MHz Z80 microprocessor, and 64k of RAM, running on CP/M (a very popular operating system of the time), is a monster compared to today's notebooks. And I mention it because somehow Acer Aspire 5940G, the notebook reviewed today, reminds me of this luggable legend.

Adding a new dimension to notebooks

» With banner ads for the movie Avatar 3D plastered across newspaper pages and outside Bangkok cinemas over the New Year the timing was certainly right for Acer to make its first foray into 3D with the relatively inexpensive Aspire 5738DG notebook PC being the flagship.
A bite of the Apple
Database, Published on 20/01/2010
» Google released the Nexus One smart phone, an impressive gadget that will push more improvements in the iPhone, but will not immediately take much more than a nibble out of the Apple; the new phone runs on the Google operating system, and starts life with more than 18,000 apps - about 15 percent of the Apple selection but, on the other hand, able to multi-task, something the iPhone apps won't do; the big deal about Nexus One, however, is only about US and Canada, where Google aims to be, very roughly, what Number 2 yuppiephone firm DTAC was when the Norwegians took it over and it unlocked its phones; that is what Google is doing with Nexus, which is made by HTC of Taiwan and costs $529 or 17,500 baht in real money - but which is unlocked and will work with any carrier; this is a revolution in the US wireless industry, where phones are totally locked into carriers, and if you want an iPhone, you sign a two-year, near-usurious contract with AT&T; phone companies will feature the Nexus One - T-Mobile subsidises it for $179 for Americans who agree in writing to pay $79.99 a month for the next two years, or 6,000 plus 2,700 baht in real money; but Google will sell you the phone for use with any carrier from its website (google.com/phone) and this is the first crack in the phone-company control of the business.

Evolution, not revolution, of telecoms
Database, Don Sambandaraksa, Published on 13/01/2010
» So the Google Super-phone, the Nexus One, has finally been unveiled to the world after a gestation that had many guessing and teetering at the edge of their seats for months. Watching to the streaming video press conference, I could not help but feel that for the most part it was evolution, not revolution, at least when it came to the product. The real revolution was in the way the archaic telecommunications sector in the United States is poised to be shaken up.
