  I had the chance to get a first hand look at the Vaio X this weekend at the Sony shop in the Westfield centre in London. Wow….that’s one thin machine….almost too thin. But I still love it…and was surprised to find it was less than £2000 even for Read More...

Hammering a flexible screen

Posted Saturday, October 17, 2009 8:27 PM by stevecla01
When I show the Microsoft 2019 video I often get asked how realistic some of the technology is – in particular things like the digital newspaper that is shown. Well, they’re not as far away as you may think and whilst some of the examples in that video Read More...

My new laptop has arrived

Microsoft MultiTouch Mice

Posted Tuesday, October 06, 2009 3:17 PM by stevecla01
There is a part in the Microsoft 2019 video where a guy uses multi touch gestures on a table to control his software. It’s classic “Hollywood IT” where you think “yeah right….” However, it’s a bit closer than we may think if you take a look at the video Read More...

Stainless Steel Shuffle

Posted Thursday, September 10, 2009 8:28 PM by stevecla01
For me, the Stainless Steel Shuffle is by far the coolest thing that Apple announced during their event this week. Nano’s with cameras? I’m not feeling it….but a Jonathan Ive classic design, that’s more like it. Still, I wont be buying one as I just pre-ordered Read More...

A new Dell Adamo to coo about

Posted Thursday, September 10, 2009 10:21 AM by stevecla01
Hmm, I liked the original Dell Adamo but resisted buying one as I had reservations about the keyboard. Now the Dell site has a teaser for a new Adamo – the XPS – measuring in at only 9.99mm thin. That’s about all we know on this machine for now – you Read More...
