ASUS EEE 1000H sports model

Hold your breaths! This is not painted by ASUS, but by Morphyuz at EEEuserforums. He has painted it with corvette yellow color, which makes it really look one.

It is too sporty to be taken to business meetings right? But, I like the paint job done by the enthusiast. He has painted his mouse too to match his yellow 1000H

You don’t hear about such deals a lot of times. Fujitsu is now offering the U820 along with AT&T broadband connection and that too for just $1199. That is not it. Unlike the Asian versions, the US 3G models are coming with 120GB HDD. Asian models known as U2010 come with 60GB HDD and just 2-cell battery.

American versions also come with a bigger 4-cell battery with the default configuration, which should give you atleast 5 hours of battery life with the extremely power-frugal Atom CPU.

Lenovo Thinkpad W700 – find my second screen if you can!

At first look, it looks like just another (bulky) (ugly) Lenovo laptop. But, this is one is different. It hides something that most of the other laptops don’t posses so far. It has a huge 10.2″ display hidden underneath the palm rest. Lenovo has worked very hard on the Thinkpad W700 to make it a super laptop. Beside the it’s hidden weapon, the 10″ screen, it comes with Intel Quad-core processor and internal color calibrato, which makes it a true mobile workstation!

If that was enough, it comes with NVIDIA Quadro FX 2700M and 3700M Open GL graphics processors that give this beast up to 1 GB of dedicated video memory.

Regarding price, it costs a modest $3000!

Nokia is rolling out 5800 XpressMusic in the US with 3G support. Of course, the support for the US bands is there. Now, here is the odd thing. Where is the carrier logo?

But, then look at the brighter side, that will be one time payment and you will be free to choose the carrier you want to be on.

Nokia 5800 XpressMusic for US now available

The best part about it is the 3.2″ 640 x 360 resolution display. This is not up to the par of one of those new Windows Mobile devices like the new HTC TOUCH HD and Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1, but it is not shabby too. Nokia is even bundling 8GB micro-SD card to make the whole package even attractive.

SeeqPod is a notorious application for Windows Mobile, which was so far available for the Desktop PC only. What this application does is that it finds the music from all over the Internet and streams it in a very sleek and user-friendly interface. Does it works? Yeah!

Installation

You have two ways to download it:

  • point your IE mobile web browser on your device to http://seeqpod.com and you will be taken to the download page. Note that you must be using the default browser string in order for the seeqpod website to know that you are on a mobile browser.
  • get the installation link via email

When you start the application, it gives you a nice list of songs from all genres. I selected “2008 singles of the year” and it loaded them to the playlist. It also comes with a nifty search function. This is the most powerful function of this software. I searched for my all time favorite “Rev Theory” and I was impressed with the results. You can learn more about the artist/music group as it also enlists the related wikipedia article. The article opens in IE mobile and loads the respective wikipedia webpage.

Note that all the screenshots are done in VGA. You may click on them to view the full resolution screenshot.
