The MSI is giving away two nice kiddish applications to the users of U100 and U90 MSI Q-Face and Windy Zone. The Q-face is a simple application to do little transformation to your images like adding a frame, putting a hat on your picture and changing into a cute puppy (!).
Windy Zone is nothing but a pack of 6 classic games:

Looks like HTC is not going to be left behind the 1GHz game started by Toshiba, who launched it’s little baby, TG01 a couple of days back. The HTC is expected to launch Snapdragon-based devices in the second quarter this year. According the various sources, the HTC will be nearly 1 quater behind the Toshiba’s Snapdragon device.
But the HTC is not alone in the game. Samsung, LG, Quanta, Acer, Asus and many other companies have signed up to get the Snapdragon range of processors from the Qualcomm.
Here is something more interesting: HTC is also working on devices that use the Intel Atom platform. If these devices involve mobile devices, then the HTC would be the first company in the world to unveil a cellular phone with Intel Atom processor. There is also another possibility though. HTC netbooks anyone?
Is not it odd, when you hear the netbook manufactures costing you a bomb when you want higher capacities battery for your beloved netbook? Quite a lot of times, you end up paying almost 1/4th of the actual price of the whole netbook when purchasing an extended battery. Take the example of the HP Mini 2140 netbook, whose basic model costs $449. It come with a 3-cell battery, which lasts you about 2-2.5 hours depending on your usage. The 6-cell battery, if you purchase it later on will make shell out a mind-boggling $129, which is more than 1/4th of the price of base model of Mini 2140.
Instead, when buying a Mini 2140, you can bundle a 6-cell battery for a lot more affordable price of $25.
Last year, immediately when the MSI Wind U100 was released, there was a uproar on the various netbook websites regarding how weak the hinges of MSI Wind U100 were. Now, nearly after an year, how do the hinges stand? Well, the hinges are still strong and have shown no signs of aging.
Looks like MSI has done a great job of keeping the hinges stylish and functional. People have infact praised the built quality of the MSI u100. One of them even accidentally dropped it from nearly 5 ft and nothing happened to the hinges.

The Skype has released version 4 of their desktop client. The new version:
The first thing I did when I heard the version 4.0 news was to install it in my now old EEE 701. Interestingly, it fits itself very nicely into it’s WVGA display. See the following screenshot. I’m still exploring the new features it offers but it’s interface alone wins over me.
