Apr 12th 2011 12:32PM Oh what ? This is blasphemy, why exactly is this shutting down?



Dual SIM watchphone gives us two reasons to be non-plussed (Engadget)

Jun 23rd 2010 3:31PM Not bad considering the specs. And agreed, if this was an Apple release, people would rejoice.

Neg on the header, plus one on the watch...

Sony's second-gen VAIO P now available for pre-order (Engadget)

Jun 8th 2010 6:41PM @mukatuna Ya the GMA500 was a killer for me. Even though Intel provided better drivers after the release. I would have considered purchasing this again if it had a better than GMA500 graphics adapter especially at its default res.

My So-Called Laptop (Engadget)

May 12th 2010 8:11PM Wow, I have to think back, but I recall my first laptop you had to adjust the screen brightness, and was far away from being "active matrix", size of a suitcase.

My first "real" laptop was an IBM thinkpad at 166mhz, no wifi, had a cdr drive (no need for Nero here), 10/100mbit card that you had to slip in with a second port for modem, can you say 28.8 baud. Ram must've been a whopping 32meg and maybe 40meg HD.

When you do desktops, give me a ring, remember printer port backup tape drives, 10 inch floppy (yes 10 inch), 5 1/4 (wow so small) then the so familiar 3.5 single and high density...remember hole punching it for "more space", Adlib (then the infamous graviscard), and EGA. Mouses with balls! Command line...

Ansi graphics. Sysop. *67, 1 meg = 1 hour download on 2400baud.. Sis, no don't pick up the phone...dammit.

Now I'm just blabbing...


Oh wait

Sony VAIO P Series gets an accelerometer, touchpad (Updated: starts at $799) (Engadget)

May 10th 2010 4:10AM Recently sold the 1st gen Emerald Green version. I would consider buying it again depending on improved battery life and something better than GMA500 (more resolution posibilities), and longer cable on the VGA/LAN adapter. Was really hoping for touchscreen..oh well, threes a charm. The form factor is excellent (and yes i've gone through half a dozen "cheapy" HP, ACER, EEE, Samsung netbooks and "ultraportable" so have some comparison experiences. Much smaller than typical netbooks though useable enough for daily use (beats working on a smartphone).

Speaking of price, you guys remember what we paid for laptops 10 years ago...P3 "active mattrix" and 512mb memory maybe a 2gb HD with w00t 56K modem (no wifi yet) and USB which was sort of plugnplay, or insane pricey LCD screen?. If the price of this remains around $899.99 it's not bad considering the portability which is the main intent. If you can't afford it, don't complain, sure there is a KIRF made just for you.
