I usually find theme-based laptops quite uninteresting, but at least the Ferrari and Lamborghini laptops do tend to look OK. That is certainly not the case of this Lenovo laptop designed (as a limited edition) for the upcoming Olympic Games. Bad news: it is ugly (it’s just my opinion, of course) Permalink | Comment | Uberbargain | Uberphones
This power-generating knee has been adapted from a knee brace. Although it is said that it could power a small device like a cellphone, it is not aimed at consumers. Instead it could be used by people who don’t have an easy access to electricity, like workers in remote areas or explorers. The inventors hope to have a commercial product for field workers in five years. [more at TimesOnline] Permalink | Comment | Uberbargain | Uberphones
Yahoo Live! is a live video streaming site that lets users broadcast to a wide audience on the web. The video performance was quite impressive when we browsed for channels to watch (make sure that you’re looking at a user that has a decent upload speed). There are other online video broadcasting applications like Veodia or Mogulus but the sheer video performance of Yahoo Live is much better than both. Note that Mogulus as a lot more features to create your own TV channel. Permalink | Comment | Uberbargain | Uberphones
Explay is specialized in projectors that are small enough to fit in a pocket but that can project an image that is 20 times their size. The current product is a matchbox size solution that can project images as big as 30”. One of the secret behind this prowess is the use of uber-small light sources such as lasers and LED lights. There are no details on the actual resolution or prices at the moment. Permalink | Comment | Uberbargain | Uberphones
I have good memories of the original Alone In The Dark game, that’s why I have some interest for this sequel. I don’t know yet how good it is, but you can check it out at the official site: centraldark. The game takes place in Central Park and the xBox 360 screenshots are quite nice, which is not the case for the PS2 and the Wii. Permalink | Comment | Uberbargain | Uberphones Filed under: Cellphones  Sony Ericsson has plumped up its Walkman line just a tad today with the introduction of the W980, a pretty well power-packed flip sporting 8GB of internal storage, a generously sized external display, and something the company calls “Walkman on Top.” The technology (if you can really call it that) replicates the music player interface in its entirety on the external display, allowing full player control without popping the phone open. Other goodies include an FM transmitter and PlayNow support — a Walkman phone through and through, if we do say so ourselves. Look for it to launch in Q3 in quadband EDGE flavor with HSDPA 2100 (read: no good for use in the US). Sorry about the microscopic photo, by the way, SE’s site is having difficulty at the moment.

Sony Ericsson ties up with Microsoft for Windows Mobile devicesPosted by: in Technology newsFiled under: Cellphones, Handhelds  Microsoft has now won a veritable superfecta of licensing, landing deals with four of the top five phone manufacturers in the world to provide handsets based on Windows Mobile. The latest, announced today at Barcelona’s Mobile World Congress, is Sony Ericsson — a company heavily vested in Symbian by way of its UIQ division, so it’s unclear how the licensing deal will ultimately affect UIQ-based offerings. Stay tuned for more on the deal and details on Sony Ericsson’s WinMo-based hardware!
Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments Filed under: Cellphones, Handhelds  Alright, we’ve got to admit, this looks like a pretty real press rendering to us, so we’re going to bite. This here is allegedly Sony Ericsson’s G700i, one of two members of the all-new “G” line allegedly being introduced at Mobile World Congress this week; if the previously-leaked specs hold up, it’ll include a 3.2 megapixel camera and a 2.5-ish inch display but lack WiFi, which is where its G900i big sib comes into the picture. Seeing how Sony Ericsson’s MWC press conference is within shouting distance at this point, we’ll have this all sorted out soon enough. [Via SEfanatics]
