Sony Ericsson Xperia X1, this is a touchscreen Windows Mobile Professional with a full hardware keyboard mobile phone and that is just for starters.
The XPERIA X1 is a newly presented phone part of the all new XPERIA brand, the most noticeable thing you will notice on this handset is the unique arc slider which looks pretty damn good if you ask me. There are many highlights to the XPERIA X1 such as the 3-inch WVGA touchscreen display, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP and GPS plus a 3.5mm audio jack.
Here is the next big thing from Apple - iBlade
It’s a brand new year and I will start my first post for the year 2008 by looking back on the top gadgets of 2007.
Apple iPod Touch and iPod Nano
Cashing on a runaway success of the iPhone, Steve Jobs and his minions stripped that device of its phone functions to produce the iPod Touch. User can now flip through their music with the touch of a finger, watch videos and browse the Net
on its expansive display with innovative multi-touch interface.
Then there’s the newly redesigned iPod Nano with video., which brings video-playing portability to a new levels of affordability. All of which begs the question: What will Apple think of next?
Since its announcement last June 2007, this notebook has created a lot of buzz specially on some of my IT colleagues and friends. I did a further research on reviews from notable review sites like Notebook Review, CNET.com and
from my online friend/blogger Jehzeel Laurente.
Heres the products specs:
*Display: 7″
*Processor: Intel mobile CPU (Intel 910 chipset, 900MHz Dothan Pentium M)
*Memory: 512MB RAM
*OS: Xandros Linux (Asus customized flavor)
*Storage: 8GB or 16GB flash hard drive
*Webcam: 300K pixel video camera
*Battery life: 3 hours using 4-cell battery
*Weight: 2lbs
*Dimensions: 8.9 in x 6.5 in x 0.82 in - 1.37 in (width x depth x thickness)
*Ports: 3 USB ports, 1 VGA out, SD card reader, modem, Ethernet, headphone out, microphone in.
Product Summary:
The good: Small, light, and inexpensive; solid-state hard drive is fast and efficient; well-thought-out preinstalled software package.
The bad: Cramped keyboard; very little hard drive space; low screen resolution.
The bottom line: the Asus Eee PC offers an impressive package for portable Web surfing and basic productivity, as long as you keep expectations tempered. The incredibly approachable price outweighs any shortcomings; it’s a near perfect choice for a highly portable second or backup laptop.

I read from the Technology section of a local newspaper that in Japan the presence of PC’s has diminish because of the rise of Nintendo’s Wii, Sony’s Playstation 3 and PSP 2 and others new gadgets such as smartphones that act like pocket-sized computers, digital video recorders with terabytes of memory, consumers has put PC’s last in their shopping list.
Japan’s PC market is already shrinking, leading analysts to wonder whether Japan will become the first major market to see a decline in personal computer use some 25 years after it revolutionized household electronics - and whether this could be the picture of things to come in other countries.
