Headline Hijinx: Catching Up

This item was filled under [ Uncategorized ]

Just because I’ve not been posting doesn’t mean there are new things to gawk at. I’ve had little time to stay caught up, so here’s a few of the items on the scene these from recent weeks which I meant to post about. If you are a Mac user and you love Microsoft Office’s ability to automatically save documents when a crash occurs, but wish it was more of a global feature for all of your apps, your wish has come true in the form of EverSave. Oh, and its free, so please donate. Toshiba has jumped into the mobile phone game rather significantly with their new TG01 which sports a 4.1″ display and a 1GHz Motorola Snapdragon CPU. If the tease isn’t enough, there are some videos of the interface, but I think they need to work on it a bit more as there are some touch issues and (around 3:10 into the video) gaming doesn’t look easy. Garmin and Asus are getting into the handset game, too, making touchscreen phones now officially look like the second coming of the netbook. Feh.

Samsung has a new touchphone coming in the shape of the i8910, dubbed the Acme (weird) and will reportedly come in 8GB and 16GB models. Asus is apparently working on a fugly tablet version of their Eee PC line by cramming a very small screen into a very large case. I’m honestly not clear on why people are so hot for this thing. I’m not sure I get LG’s QWERTY Card thing which was caught in the FCC by Engadget, but apparently you can use it to remotely control your phone in your pocket. Hmm. If you feel that you’ve been shortsheeted on Sony VAIO P coverage, The Giz is going to make it up to you. Click on this link. Finally, if you really very badly want a RIM Blackberry Storm but aren’t flush with cash, check out Amazon which is selling it for US$99. Hmm… That’s US$400 worth of discounts. Does that mean its not as good as RIM would like everyone to believe?
