Now you can get two and you’ve to buy only one. This offer by Toshiba is only for those who live in Australia until 15th January. This offer is only valid on Toshiba XV500 series LCD HDTV (37, 42 or 46 inch screen). If you purchase between 1st of December and 15th of January then, you can get a free netbook from Toshiba. You must claim your free netbook before the 29th January, 2009.

This is a pretty amazing deal as Toshiba XV500 is a fantastic HDTV and so is their free netbook. I am pretty sure that their stock will not last for a very long time. You are actually saving up a lot of money on it.

510jungleboy has done amateaur cell phone modding and has been able to make his HTC TOUCH Pro recognize a full 32GB SD card. Yes, full SD card and not a micro-SD card. Here is the proof:

It uses a SD-to-microSD adapter to accomplish it. Sure, the results are excellent as the Touch Pro had no problems in recognizing it, but.. Continue reading “A 32GB Windows Mobile device? Well, kind of”

Good OS, most known for its gOS Linux that debuted in Wal-Mart computers, today announced “Cloud,” a new operating system that boots into a browser with Google, Yahoo! and Live in seconds, and optionally boots into Windows.

Cloud uniquely integrates a web browser with a compressed Linux operating system kernel for immediate access to Internet, integration of browser and rich client applications, and full control of the computer from inside the browser.

Cloud features a beautifully designed browser with an icon dock for shortcuts to favorite apps, tabs for multi-tasking between web and rich client apps, and icons to switch to Windows, power off, and perform other necessary system functions. Users power on their computers, quickly boot into Cloud for Internet and basic applications, and then just power off or boot into Windows for more powerful desktop applications.

Well, this is from a Malaysian who bought this from Russia. Here is the sad part, he does not know Russian and since he is in Malaysia, he cannot test WiMax.

Here are few quotes from his review,

The specs of the device is pretty much a beefed up htc Diamond. Bigger screen (3.8″), widescreen resolution (640×800), lots of memory (8GB+microSD expansion). Of course, it comes with WiMAX apart from the WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and GSM/EDGE connectivity.

The htc Max lives up to it’s name. It’s big, heavy and thick.

You can call anyone within Yota network using WiMAX instead of GSM.

I couldn’t enjoy the full benefit of using Yota’s services, nor could I enjoy the phone due to my poor Russian (hahaha…). The phone is a little large for most people’s preference, but the big screen certainly is better than the tiny Diamond. But this device certainly sets a benchmark for all WiMAX devices to come.

We posted about the white touch Diamond a couple of months back, but we could see it in flesh. One of the visitors of my website sent me the link to the dailymobile.se who have pictures of the Touch Diamond white.

I still find the black version prettiest. May be thats me.

Other than the change in color, nothing else has changed. Of course, you get a matching white stylus to go with the white color and that is where the differences end.

Thanks Jake for the tip!
