Hot on the heels of the W100 dual touchscreen tablet, Toshiba also unveiled the AC100 today, a 10.1-inch netbook that runs on Android 2.1. One of the big selling points of the AC100, which is the company's first Android machine, is that it can remain in standby mode for up to seven days (the eight hours of battery life aren't too shabby either).

Western Digital has sold more hard drives this year than Seagate
Posted on May 13, 2010 | No Comments
Five hundred and fifty eight million hard drives were shipped in 2009. Think about that for a moment. Five hundred and fifty eight million. Of those, 175.2 million (or 31.4%) carried the Seagate brand name while 165.2 million came from Western Digital. According to The Information Network, WD pulled ahead in the first quarter of 2010, selling 51.1 million hard drives compared to Seagate's 50.3 million sold. I guess that's big news, if you're really into hard drives, or have strong brand loyalty to the drive in your computer. Me, I don't care so much.

You get what you pay for, with SSDs and just about everything else
Posted on March 12, 2010 | No Comments
My aunt called last night to ask about a laptop she saw advertised in the weekly circular. It had most of the features she wanted, and was priced lower via the ad than she'd seen online for a similarly configured laptop. This led to a brief discussion of name brand preferences for laptops, and the price differences between them. I had to explain to my aunt that you get what you pay for: a laptop is made up of lots of little parts, each available from a variety of OEMs and distributors. Different brand name laptops use different OEMs and distributors for their parts, so the quality of the individual components inside the laptops vary wildly. Generally speaking, better quality parts cost a bit more, but provide better performance and better reliability. A recent study from DRAMeXchange Technology (who?!) proves this point as it relates to solid state drives.

RCA Airnergy promises usable power generated from Wi-Fi signals. Possible?
Posted on January 13, 2010 | No CommentsI’m a simple man. I understand certain things. How ambient Wi-Fi signals could be converted into enough energy to charge a BlackBerry is something I do NOT understand. However, RCA not only showed off the technology at CES but the device will apparently be available by the summer and it’ll only cost $40. OhGizmo! tells us [...] -

TAG Heuer Meridiist Lamborghini model announced, snickered at
Posted on November 2, 2009 | No Comments
In the market for an over-priced luxury handset? Do you equate luxury with a brand name, snakeskin, perhaps even a feature phone with all but the barest of "features?" You're in luck! Once again looking to give Vertu a run for its money, Tag Heuer has upped the ante with its newest, the Meridiist Automobili Lamborghini. In addition to that world famous 1.9-inch sapphire crystal display, 2 megapixel camera, media player, Bluetooth, and roughly seven hours of talk time, this guy throws the Lamborghini logo into the mix. Available in a limited edition of 1963 (the date that its namesake was first sold), look for it sometime this month at selected TAG Heuer and Lamborghini retailers -- which we're sure you frequent anyways. PR after the break.

Oh dear: Analyst slashes DJ Hero sales expectations by 50 percent

Verizon’s Droid is a series, not just a phone; Droid Eris coming from HTC
Posted on October 23, 2009 | No CommentsFiled under: Handsets, HTC, Motorola, Verizon Wireless, Android
digg_url = 'http://digg.com/gadgets/Verizon_Droid_is_a_SERIES_of_phones_HTC_Droid_Eris_is_next'; We just got some wild information from a trusted source about Verizon's Android strategy, and let's just say this shakes things up a little bit. Here are the big takeaways:
- Droid is the brand name being applied to Verizon's Android devices. It isn't a single phone.
- The Sholes -- the phone we've been calling the Droid so far -- may simply be known as the Droid.
- HTC's Desire will be coming to market as the "Droid Eris." (Allow us to save you the Wikipedia lookup -- Eris is the Greek goddess of strife.) Interestingly, it's already up on gdgt as such.
- Droid Eris will be released -- not announced, actually released -- on November 6. In all likelihood, it will not be announced or shown at Verizon's October 28 event -- that will probably just be for the Sholes.

Pellermodel: Bandai lets you build a 3D figure of yourself
Posted on June 29, 2009 | No Comments
Even though I live in Japan, I admit I don't know anything about Origami and other techniques to build objects out of paper. Today is also the first time I heard of the Pellermodel concept, the art of creating "true 3D paper objects".
Now Bandai is planning to sell "Pellermodel" (brand name) kits, which make it possible for users to build a small, humanoid-like 3D object with one's own face on it (or that of anyone you like). All that users need to do is to upload a face picture, access Bandai's dedicated Pellermodel website [JP], print and attach the picture on the model's head. Your "3D" figure can then be pressed out in seconds.

MacBook Price Cuts Highlight Tough Choices for Apple as Growth Slows
Posted on June 11, 2009 | No CommentsApple has traditionally held its ground as a premium computer manufacturer, but it might just be getting sucked into a recession-prompted price war. The company’s recent MacBook price cuts signify its reluctant conformity to the economic downturn. At its Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday, Apple shaved hundreds of dollars off its MacBook models. The high-end, 15-inch [...]
