There’s really not much info on this one, although we felt like we just had to look into it because, well, it’s Sony, and it’s apparently an excitingly tiny new VAIO. While Sony’s line of laptops aren’t necessarily as technically spectacular as, say, Alienware’s systems, they always turn out notebooks with designs that are just downright sexy.
Disclaimer: We just put the “tiny” in there. We have no idea just how “ultra-mobile” this new ultra-mobile VAIO is going to be.
LaCie just got with the times and updated one of their most popular mobile drives, the Rugged Hard Disk, with a faster USB 3.0 interface. It’s still comes in pretty much the same iconic, designed-by-Neil-Poulton shell that’s protected by orange rubber padding all around, although the new Rugged USB 3.0 model also fits a larger 500GB drive that spins at 7200rpm.
Buzz about Google’s entry into the living room via something called “Google TV” has been around since last month, but Google never really confirmed that the project exists. A recent interview of a Samsung exec in Korea might have spilled the beans when he mentioned that Samsung is “examining the business feasibility” of Google TVs.
The early N8 that was previewed on the Russian site Mobile Review was apparently an early pre-production prototype that was loaded with dated software. That explains quite a lot. It’s actually not that surprising in a world where disguised, next-gen iPhone prototypes can be lost and found from under the table at your local watering hole.
Nokia’s N8, expected to be the company’s new flagship smartphone, hasn’t been released yet (although it has just been officially announced on the Official Nokia Blog), but this Russian reviewer managed to get an early hands-on. While the phone is detailed to come with a very high-end spec, Mobile Review’s Eldar Murtazin was apparently left unimpressed.
