HP has made available the VGA cable for the mini 1000 series. The cable is modestly priced at $19.99 (excluding shipping charges). So, if you were planning to hook your mini 1000 to your big monitor, now you do so with the help of this accessory.
It is odd to see the manufactures coming with out with so important accessory months after the actual product’s release in the market. Nevertheless, atleast it is now available.

I do not know how useful this application would be, but G-Trigger allows you to start an application by shaking your device in particular direction. Ofcourse, your device needs to have G-sensor to use this application. This means that the users of HTC DIAMOND, PRO and HD can use this application.

Rumor has it that the T-Mobile is going to launch HTC Maple at CTIA trade show, which is supposed to be the long-awaited replacement for the T-Mobile Dash. Just like the original T-Mobile Dash, it will also come with a front-facing keyboard.
By the looks of it, it surely is going to be a Windows Mobile Standard device (non touchscreen WM smartphone). There is no information on its price.

According to ZDNet, Asus is planning to limit the number of choices regarding the storage options. What does this exactly mean? This means that during the launch of a certain model, it will then , e decided by ASUS which model will be offered in the country: SSD-based one or the HDD-based one.
Now, is it a good news? Well, the end-consumer should be given the choice to decide between the HDD or SSD. For example: I like that fact that the EEE 1000 series has SSD as option. There are many people who want the durability of SSD. At the same time, there may be many people who store a lot of data and will want to go for the HDD option. So, the choice should be there.
Radical Comic Designer allows to quickly add comic captions and speech bubbles to your images (including the ones that you have taken with your digital camera).
The application installer comes in the form of CAB which is meant to be executed directly on the phone itself. So, copy the CAB file via your PC’s activesync and execute the file on your device itself.
You can open any JPG file located in your device. Unfortunately, no other image formats are supported (at the time of the review atleast). You can also directly take a picture from the camera and work upon that image.
However, the only grip is that there is no way to save your raw work. The file can be exported in only JPG format. A lossless image format like PNG/BMP would have been much better.
To resize the bubble or the caption, use the stylus and start dragging it from the extreme bottom-right of the bubble/caption.
The Radical Comic Designer Mobile is available for $9.95 from the following link: (also its official webpage)
Adamo 13.4-inch notebook was launched yesterday by Dell, but a screenshot of the Dell’s support utility shows signs of the Adamo’s 9-inch version in the works.
If the 9-inch Adamo is really in the works, then will it also cost >$2000 just like the 13.4-inch Adamo? Is there a market for the premium netbooks? Well, after the immense success of the SONY VAIO P (see unboxing here), I cannot say ‘no’.

Opera has introduced a new concept called “Opera Turbo”. It is a server-side compression technique in which the Opera’s servers compress the web-pages and their elements before sending it to the client’s machine. It is axiomatic, the target market is not the people with the high broadband speeds. They won’t get much benefit out of this technology. The people who use slow internet connections and the people who are still trapped behind the slow EDGE and GPRS networks are going to the target market for the Opera.
Here is the screenshot of apothetech.com running inside the Opera Turbo. You can observe that the quality of graphics has been bumped down a lot in order to reduce the size of the overall website as much as possible.
One question that pops up on our minds whenever we hear about our data coming via third party servers is privacy. Opera promises to bypass the traffic whenever we are on SSL site. Also, they promise that they won’t be storing any information of the users.
So what does not work?
Remember the time, when every day we used to hear some browser claiming itself as the “world’s fastest web-browser”? Looks like the Opera is back in the game, at least for the people on-the-move.
Supports: Windows, Mac OS X and Linux/Unix
Few days back, we posted about the Lenovo’s super-widescreen netbook, now being rumored over the Tech websites as “Pocket Yoga”. Folks at PCmag contacted the Lenovo and they told them that
It’s a design concept and may not even ship in China.
So, it was just a concept to see the outcome of fusion of smartphone and netbook. Thankfully, that-ultra-widescreen-netbook with odd display ratio will never hit the markets.
Sotec C101’s ‘upgrade’ has been released, C103. What has changed as compared to its previous model? Nothing. The only refreshment is that it is now available in 2 different colors: black and white. Well, if you call a Here are its (boring) specifications:
