Toshiba Mini NB250 netbook unboxing video

It’s been a while since we looked at laptops or netbooks but with a seeming ‘new wave’ of these devices hitting the market, presumably to because we are nearing Christmas, we thought it was about time to have a look at what £250 can get you these days.

First-up we are looking here at the Toshiba Mini NB250. This one has been on the market for a little while but as the price has now come down a little this appears to be, on the face of it, a good value netbook. With a run-time of 8.7 hours (claimed) it could be ideal for students.

In the video below you’ll see me unbox the NB250 and have a quick look around the hardware. Over the next few weeks we’ll have a review of the NB250 for you. If you’ve already made your mind up to buy one IT247.com have just dropped the price of this one to just £254.99

Using the iPhone as a musical instrument – Video

I discovered the following video over on the iPhone blog and thought I should share it with you here too. After we demoded ‘Drums’ for the iOS a couple of weeks ago I thought this would be a great follow on to show you the endless musical capabilities of the operating system.

New York band Atomic Tom forgot to take there instruments on the subway but luckily enough they had there iPhones with them and were able to give a live performance whilst travelling.

As you will see the iOS really delivers some great musical opportunities and Atomic Tom go to prove that.

Check out the video below and if you like the sound of Atomic Tom why not subscribe to them on YouTube.
