MSI U115 Hybrid netbook – claims to be world's first hybrid notebook computer

MSI today announces U115 Hybrid. The very first notebook computer in the world that is capable of operating both SSD and HDD hard drives simultaneously, combining all the features of SSD and HDD in the U115 Hybrid for your enjoyment.

So, SSD and HDD under the same hood. Isn’t this we all have been waiting for? There is something even more in the press release that caught my attention:

U115 Hybrid will temporarily disconnect the HDD system while operating in “ECO on Mode”. Retrieving and storing files will all be done with the SSD system, the battery life of U115 Hybrid is super long. The HDD system can also be activated with a few simple functions for the large storage space.

And it has impressive specifications too:

  • 10.2″ display
  • LED-powered backlight
  • Weight: 1kg with 3-cell battery
  • Intel® Poulsbo US15W 1.6GHz processor
  • 8GB SSD+80GB HDD or 16GB SSD+160GB HDD

Celebrate the new year with new ringtones from HTC

HTC has just posted a slew of new ringtones for your device. Most of them sound quite professional.

My favorite is “Simple1” as I use only business-type ringtones on my HTC Diamond. Which one yours? Here is a screenshot of newly available ringtones. The ringtones are in MP3 format. So, they would work on any other phone too

Note that you need to be a member of HTC eClub to download the ringtones. Registration is free.

Behind the scenes: Sky Lab at Google

At Sky Lab, they have nearly 800 phones on which they work and develop. Though they do admit that even though they have so many phones, they do not have ample time to work on all of them. I think the other way around: who charges these phones?!

I love the Android sound made in the video!

$99 iPhone details

The $99 is available via ATT Wireless, which is actually a refurb version of the iPhone 3G 8GB. It comes with a 2-year plan which includes both voice and data. If you are ready to shell-out another $100, you can get the 16GB iPhone 3G again with a 2-year contract.

These prices are effective until Dec. 31, 2008. After that, both prices will be $50 higher. So hurry, if you wanted to get an iPhone.

Should you get a refurb iPhone?

According to AT&T, “Refurbished phones are previously owned devices that have been unused or lightly used and returned during the 30-day trial period. Each refurbished phone is independently quality tested and loaded with the latest software to meet current factory standards. Some refurbished iPhone 3G devices will have minor scratches. Refurbished iPhone 3G devices carry a warranty of 90 days or more.”

In the end, it looks pretty much like a safe deal to me.
