Sony Vaio VGN-TX92S Notebook

Sony unveiled its new line-up of VAIO TX3 notebooks, including the yummy looking VGN-TX92S notebook. The Vaio VGN-TX92S carries a Vista Ready symbol, and can be customized under the Vaio "Owner Made" program where you get to choose the right combination of hardware, software and notebook color.

You can choose any of the following CPUs on your new Vaio: Intel Core Solo U1400 (1.2 GHz), U1300 (1.06 GHz) or good old Celeron M running at 1.06 GHz. The Intel 945GMS Express chipset based board can take in up to 1.5GB of DDR2 memory. The VGN-TX92S comes with a spiffy 11.1" WXGA wide screen offering 1366x768 pixel resolution.

The Vaio VGN-TX92S includes a fingerprint module, as well as TPM security chip for added security. Hard drives can be selected ranging from 40-80GB, but you will lose about 6GB for the restore-to-factory-settings feature. Other goodies on the laptop include two high-speed USB 2.0 ports, a 10/100BaseTX LAN card (no Gigabit, but that's okay) and optional Bluetooth.

The USP of this notebook is, without doubt, 1Seg. 1Seg is a mobile data broadcasting service (currently restricted to Japan), and this new Vaio is compatible with it. Essentially, you have a big screen mobile TV at your disposal.

MOTO MING- mix work with play

A supremely smart, stylish and compact Linux-based device, MOTOMING is designed to help keep work, personal and entertainment worlds balanced and looking good. With the MOTOMING's large transparent window and rich functions you will be able to see beyond the surface of the life around you, adding significance and taste to everyday communications. - Motorola

The transparent flip cover is very striking. Click the volume down key and the display lights up with all your current pertinent information. It is really a nice touch. The buttons all have a very positive feel to them. They don't rattle or squeak and are quickly recognizable by feel. The flip feels solid... and when talking on the phone it feels secure. And I really, really, really like touch screens. Have I mentioned that I like touchs creens? This on is very responsive... I could quickly dial numbers without error, although the virtual keyboard's density required use of the stylus, which I didn't mind. I got used to it. I found the voice quality to be excellent especially relative to their current offerings.

There are quite a few cool seeming apps included on the device.... like a business card reader that is supposed to use the camera to take a picture then use recognition software to capture the details into text and save it to your contacts. Trouble is that after repeated attempts to make it work I gave up. Then there's the photo editing app... which sounds cool except all you can basically do is draw random squiggles over a picture you've just taken which isn't very useful. Maybe if you wanted to write a goofy note over your dorky friend's picture and send it to all of the rest of your friends, okay... but otherwise this isn't replacing Photoshop anytime soon. And all the usual "smartphone" features are there... calendar, audio player, camera, email, but nothing earth-shattering or innovative.

The interface, although greatly improved over current Motorola offerings, is still lagging behind the industry. I found there to be too few settings and options (like control for what is displayed on the main screen with the flip cover closed) or at least so buried that they are practically unusable. Email, web and general connectivity was quite slow... surprising given how responsive the rest of the device felt. And I was bummed to wake up one morning and the stylus tip had sheared off. Good thing they included a second on in the box.

This is a solid phone with a solid interface. It still has all the quirks of a Motorola product but they are less noticeable than previous offerings.

Virtual Keyboard

Tired of using your boring keyboards???? Here is a new keyboard which is made from the latest technology and it can also be carried with you.Here is VKB (Virtual PC Keyboard - Red Keyboard) which can be used with both your laptop and PC and with a compatible mobile device, compatible Smartphone and PDA.

The virtual laser keyboard (VKB) works by using both infrared and laser technology to produce an invisible circuit and project a full-size virtual QWERTY keyboard on to any surface. The virtual PC keyboard behaves exactly like a real one: direction technology based on optical recognition enables the user to tap the images of the keys, complete with realistic tapping sounds(!), which feeds into the compatible PDA, Smartphone, laptop or PC.The Virtual Keyboard uses light to project a full-sized computer keyboard onto almost any surface. Used with Smart Phones and PDA's, the VKB provides a practical way to do email, word processing and spreadsheet tasks, allowing the user to leave the laptop computer at home.
VKB observes the user's finger movements to interpret and record keystrokes. Since the virtual keyboard is an image projected in light, it completely disappears when not in use.

The VKB Virtual Keyboard has a wide range of applications:

* Personal digital assistants
* Cellular telephones
* Space saving computers
* Tablet PCs
* Laptops
* Industrial environments
* Clean rooms
* Sterile and medical environments
* Test Equipment
* Transport (Air, Rail, Automotive)

Roughly the size of a disposable lighter, (90 x 34 x 24 mm), the VKB enables users to type email or long text as easily as with a conventional keyboard. Imagine how much easier it would be if you had a proper mobile phone keyboard that fits in your pocket...

Sony Ericsson W200i- The THUMP is here

The W200i is a candy bar form factor mobile phone that measures in at 101mm by 44mm by 18mm with a carrying weight of 85 grams. The W200i is available in two colour schemes -Sony Ericsson amusingly calls them "Rhythm Black" and "Pulse White".
From the exterior, the phone looks good with average build quality. It has a Walkman button on the top left hand corner for playing music, like any other phone in the Walkman series. Below this is the slot for memory card, a 128 MB card is shipped along with the phone and those who need more memory, there is provision to accommodate cards upto 1 GB.
The screen has a resolution of 128×160 pixels and supports 65k colors, which is lesser than the other Walkman models. The keypad is good and offers good back light in the dark. One disappointing thing in this model is the Joystick, which is little bit on the harder side.

The phone has an in-build camera, with resolution 640×480 pixels and 4x zoom feature (VGA cam), plus an ability to record small video clips (in 3gp with a resolution of up to 176×144 pixels). The camera is just average considering the fact that other Walkman series have 2MP cams. The quality is also average.

It also has an in-build media player similar to the ones available in other Walkman series. It also has a radio. Now coming to connectivity, the one major disappointment is that there is no IR and Bluetooth available in this model. This is really surprising for the fact that many of the users now prefers to use bluetooth headsets. This is most crucial let down for this model.

Th mobile has a decent battery life. Sony Ericsson rates the W200i as being capable of up to 360 hours standby and seven hours talk time.

VAIO L VGC-LA38G - The Portable Panel PC

Sony’s latest creation, the Vaio L VGC-LA38G, is designed with ‘smart office’ and living room environments in mind and the firm claims that this Vaio is the world’s first ‘portable panel PC’.
The sleek design hides a fully functional unit and it looks like the new L series successfully combines a stylish business tool with a feature-rich entertainment device. VAIO L integrates
the power of a PC with a quality LCD and neatly designed chassis. The VGC-LA38G model comes with a polycarbonate frame, which contributes not only to the sleek transparent look of the VAIO L series, but also provides a chassis that is very light, albeit strong and durable.
The GC-LA38G features a 15.4" Wide Clear Bright LCD, with a foldable keyboard and touchpad. The system is powered by Intel's Core 2 Duo T5600 CPU clocked at 1.83GHz for cutting edge performance and integrates a 120GB HDD with up to 1GB DDR2 SDRAM.Graphics and movie applications are easily handled by NVIDIA's GeForce Go 7400 notebook graphics GPU coupled with a Supermulti DVD±RW optical drive for playing and creating DVDs.
Sony offers a wide software bundle with its new VAIO L series, including DVgate Plus 2.3, VAIO Video & Photo Utility 1.0, Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0, VAIO Edit Components 6.1, WinDVD for VAIO 8.0, Click to DVD 2.6, SoundFLOW, SonicStage CP 4.2, SonicStage Mastering Studio 2.3 and SonicStage Mastering Studio Audio Filter 2.3. GC-LA38G is the first Sony model to feature Windows Vista Home Premium pre-installed edition.
But the in terms of portability, the sleek-looking Sony isn’t really designed for those who move around too much, because compared to a desktop replacement laptop say it’s reasonably heavy at 4.5kg. On the occasions you do need to take it with you however, Sony has helpfully supplied a carry handle and a built-in battery.
Cheaper than both the Dell and HP, and also more portable, the Sony VAIO should help revolutionize how we view the PC and its place in the home.

HP SW6965

So you wanna look busy and important - then you should definitely carry the HP SW6965. The world will think you are too cool when you send emails through this phone or just plain fiddle with the stylus. It can read your email attachments, it has a megapixel camera, it looks and feels bulky. But it does the job.Its very tough to get a hang of. Infact, it's definitely not a "open box-insert SIM-start using" type of cellphone. You have to connect it to your PC and connectivity can be a bit diffcult if you're a novice. Also very difficult to get it in your jeans pocket.
