We’ve looked at a number of the models is Asus’ Eee PC range from the Original Eee PC 701 onwards. The 701 really was a groundbreaking product really starting off the ‘netbook’ craze.
Where the T91 differs is that it’s actually a small a small touchscreen tablet.
A key benefit of the ASUS Eee T91’S touchscreen and tablet PC form factor is the flexibility they afford users. No longer must the device be used on a flat plane such as a table. With the ASUS Eee T91 folded flat like a slate, users will be able to use it comfortably while standing up. Users will be able to read notes, sketch ideas directly onto the screen, chat on IM, surf the Internet, and play games while walking. Furthermore, the ASUS Eee T91 accepts fingertip input and handwriting, ensuring that scrolling through documents and keying in text are simple affairs.
Our friends over at SuperEtrader just emailed us to say that they’ve now got the ASUS Eee PC T91 in stock for just £409.99.
We’ll be getting our hands on one of these over the next few days and will have an unboxing video and review online for you soon.
Head on over to superEtrader to find out more about the T91, to see the full spec and to place an order!

Ok so this post is a little out of the ordinary, it’s not often that I’ll post such a blatant appeal for help but I’m looking for a Sony contact, either someone inside Sony or else someone that works for one of Sony’s PR agencies. I’m specifically interested in talking to Sony about camcorders so if anyone from Sony is out there reading this or if you know anyone that handles PR for Sony the please do get in touch with me using our feedback form. I would be extremely grateful!

In the days of ATMs, debit cards and cashless transactions using checks always seemed so outdated to me. With almost all banking institutions offering online billpay, I haven’t written a check in literally years. I do almost all of my banking using my banks excellent website and mobile applications, but the one thing I can’t get away from is having to stop by the bank to deposit my paycheck (my employer refuses to use direct deposit). Now a Texas bank that was created to cater to military members and their families is the first in the country to allow qualified customers to deposit checks via an iPhone application. Using the iPhone’s camera, a user takes a picture of the check and sends it to the bank where it is deposited automatically. The Check can then be voided or filed away for future reference. The bank never physically handles the check at all. This is a major step into the future of mobile banking, I think all major banks will have this capability soon, and at that point the only time you will ever have to enter a bank is to open or close an account. Say good bye to long lines at the bank, and maybe even to bank branches entirely.
