The Elecom Egg Mouse released in more colors

For some a mouse is just another boring accessory and in many cases just whatever happens to come with their computer.

Apparently the Elecom Egg mouse has been around for 20 years, but if you haven’t seen it before, it’s understandable since its a Japanese product. Well in honor of their 20 year anniversary they are releasing the M-EGUR series in...

Mysterious Fujitsu LifeBook Tablet PC on show in Germany

Fujitsu sneakily put out an as-yet unannounced Tablet PC during a customer presentation in Germany last week, and an eagle-eyed spotter grabbed what scant details were on offer.  Using Fujitsu’s LifeBook brand, the convertible notebook has a passive touchscreen display (e.g. you can use your finger rather than a specific stylus) measuring 13.3-inches.  It also uses Intel’s latest Core 2 Duo P8400, a chipset both super-compact and energy efficient. Other than that, very little is known...

Nokia is now more “beautiful to use”

Nokia unveiled three new handsets under the motto "Beautiful to use". The Nokia 6600 fold, Nokia 6600 slide and Nokia 3600 slide combine exclusive design and materials with nice functionality.

Iron Man case mod shows lots of dedication, is still ugly

Let's go ahead and get this out of the way: we can't deny that the Iron Man Mark I case mod took some serious work (and skill). That being the case, it'd take a pretty hardcore fan of the character (or the new flick, we guess) to love this one with reckless abandon. Reportedly, the whole shebang was built in just three weeks, and while we're still waiting for the full work log, feel free to hit the read link for an array of angles. [Via Engadget]

Nearly 20% of Mid- and High-End Mobile Devices Will Run a Linux by 2013

"Linux, which has been much maligned by Symbian and Microsoft as a non-starter in the handset operating system market, is set to see strong growth as issues with framework fragmentation and silicon requirements are alleviated. The growing momentum behind the LiMo Foundation initiative, as well as the marketing boost that has been realized from the entry of Google?s Android solution has been further enhanced by Nokia?s support of the Maemo solution and its purchase of Trolltech.

Just posted! FujiFilm S100FS review

Just posted: Our review of the FujiFilm S100FS. The S100FS offers DSLR-like handling and control with the convenience of a single, built-in lens offering an outstanding range. It is also built around a comparatively large 2/3" sensor and utilizes FujiFilm's Super CCD technology.

"The sun had just risen over the horizon, a few minutes ago and was bringing a little gift of beauty and calamity to the big city. Indolently caressing every window, it was trying to remind the people of the beginning of the new day.It gently seduced the blinds of my bedroom, kissed the rectangular black box (with dimensions 4.0 x 1.8 x 0.6 inches (101.5 x 45 x 14.5 mm)), lying on my nightstand and in this very moment, it blinked.
