Sacha Noam Baron Cohen is the biggest comedian of 21st century and he blows away all other comedians, who now look, in comparison, like innocent little girls. Firstly Sacha created character of British chav – Alli G (Sacha was born in UK so he knows something about chavs). Then came Borat – a reporter from Kazachastan – and first big success of Sacha – the Borat movie. And now comes Bruno – a fashionista from Austria (not to confuse with Australia) – the movie – released merely 2 days ago and we have already seen it! Since Bruno movie exposes several prejudices it is definitely worth seeing.
Moreover there is an app for Bruno too, but you must confirm that you are at least 17 years old to download it:
We’ve reviewed Acer laptops in the past and have always been pretty impressed with their performance and value for money. Last week Acer sent us their new Aspire 4810T to put through its paces. Part of the Timeline range the 4810T looks understated at first in a simple silver/grey chassis but this works really well on the slim package and definitely grows on you.
The Acer Aspire 4810T
Perhaps the one thing that makes the Aspire stand out from the rest of the crowd is the claim that the battery life is around 9 hours! Now we’ve all heard claims of exceptional battery life from manufacturers and they are often then subject to a caveat that it’s x hours of light use. However, my initial findings with the 4810T is that the claims could well be true. Having initially set it up yesterday and installing apps such as Firefox etc and then browsing the web for a few hours, the battery status says 35% remaining and 2.5 hours. We’ll know more about that later.
So for now, have a look at the unboxing video below where you’ll be able to see the laptop in a little more detail. Note though that the accessories seem to be missing from my review model.
Acer Aspire 4810T specification:
- 1.4GHz Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo SU9400
- 4GB DDR2 RAM
- 500GB hard disk
- DVD writer
- Intel GMA 4500MHD graphics
- 14in, 1,366 x 768 TFT
- HDMI
- D-SUB
- 3 x USB
- 5-in-1 card reader
- Gigabit Ethernet
- 802.11a/b/g/n wireless
- 1mp webcam
- Windows Vista Home Premium
- 1yr international RTB warranty
- 338 x 240 x 29mm (WDH), 1.95kg

VODAFONE UK ADDS CARPHONE WAREHOUSE FOR NEW CONNECTIONS AND EXTENDS AGREEMENT WITH PHONES4U
From this month, new and existing Vodafone customers will have an even wider choice of where they can purchase the best handsets and range of competitive tariffs in the UK.
Vodafone UK will team up with Carphone Warehouse from 7 July so customers can not only buy pay as you go mobiles and receive upgrades as they do currently but also get new pay monthly contracts and mobile broadband connections.
Vodafone UK has also extended its partnership with Phones4U who will continue to sell pay as you go and contract packages to customers upgrading and joining Vodafone, for both mobile phone and mobile broadband connections.
“Carphone Warehouse has developed a formidable retail presence on the high street and we’re very pleased to offer our customers even more choice,” says Ian Shepherd, Consumer Director, Vodafone UK. “We’re also delighted with Phones4U’s performance so we’ve extended our partnership into a multi year agreement.”
From this month, a combination of over 1650 Vodafone, Carphone Warehouse and Phones4U stores will provide customers with excellent face to face help and service where and when they need it on the high street. Customers can also visit Vodafone online at shop.vodafone.co.uk and access the many self service options on their handset for advice and support at any time.
It’s not very often you here the words Android and Mobile Phone in a sentence witout the letters HTC following it these days however in Russia they are about to release the HIGHSCREEN PP5420 which will be manufactured by Vobis Computer.
HIGHSCREEN PP5420
The HIGHSCREEN PP5420 will have quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE, dual-band 7.2Mbps HSPA connectivity, a 528MHz processor, 256MB ROM, 128MB RAM, 3-inch WQVGA touchscreen , a 3-megapixel auto-focus camera, WiFi, aGPS, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, and a 1080 mAh battery.
The phone will hit the Russian market on the 6th of July and you can expect it to cost around $500 without a contract.
The main question now is would you pick the HIGHSCREEN PP5420 over the HTC Hero? Personally, me thinks not.

The BBC have posted an article regarding the state of the 3G situation in the UK. Having spent some time mapping Great Britain and Northern Ireland to paint a picture of just how dense or sparse 3G is your area. It’s a fairly interesting map that serves as a rough guide however it does not go into detail of every nook and cranny in the UK. The Government is currently looking to wire in every house in the UK to have broadband using the conventional copper wires. Why can’t they just look at this and lend their support to filling in some of the Wales sized holes… including Wales with mobile broadband?
It’s fairly simple, public ownership of utilities the best way as the gas and power giants are now showing us and phone and data is now becoming a utility more so than a luxury. It’s not *quite* a utility ‘ I’ll admit as many people do not use it on a daily basis, however, many do and depend on it.
Enough of my opinion as it’s getting a little sidetracked, the bulk of the BBC article is quoted after the break.

Well we we’re pretty sure it was about to happen but today it became official – the Toshiba TG01 will be coming to Orange here in the UK! Excellent news I’m sure you’ll agree and it’s great to see that Orange are taking more of these cutting edge handsets such as the HTC Hero and recently the HTC Touch Pro2.
The Toshiba TG01
So here’s the official release for you. Unfortunately I was not able to get along to the launch even in London but hope to have more news, and ulitmately a review, for you soon.
Orange brings the portable cinematic experience to mobile users in the UK with the exclusive launch of the Toshiba TG01
- Orange to range the Toshiba TG01 exclusively across its own retail channels in the UK
- The TG01 will be available for free on selected pay monthly price plans from 10th July
- The TG01 is the first handset in the UK to feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 1GHz processor
Orange today announced it will be exclusively ranging the Toshiba TG01 in the UK across all its own retail channels in time for the weekend. Offering the widest high-definition touch-screen available on a mobile, the TG01 provides users with a cinematic viewing experience on a handheld device and is testament to Orange UK’s focus on ranging innovative multimedia handsets so consumers can make the most from the latest shifts in modern technology. It follows the announcement earlier in the week that Orange will also be launching the world’s first Touchscreen Watch phone in the UK.
A powerful and feature-rich mobile entertainment device, the TG01 offers uses the largest widescreen handset yet and comes with an exclusive pre-loaded film trailer for the forthcoming summer blockbuster “GI Joe”. What’s more, the 4.1” W-VGA screen is the perfect size for watching TV, videos and looking at pictures in high quality.
The TG01 also bridges the gap between notebook and mobile by featuring the latest in chipset technology and is the first handset to be sold in the UK which has a 1GHz processing power, offering fast mobile internet connectivity for a richer multimedia experience. This also enables users to make the most out of their phone, whether it be for watching video, updating social network pages or just browsing the web – just like they do on their PC.
The handset is the first from Toshiba to be part of Orange’s successful Signature Series and comes with quick links so users can easily get to grips with the handset’s great functionality. Shortcuts to the best of Orange TV & Video (which recommends great video content such as Sky 24/7 Football), Orange Maps (Orange’s own sat nav service which utilises the TG01’s inbuilt AGPS), and Orange World (Orange’s own mobile internet portal), come integrated on the device’s user interface.

For those of you desperate to get your hands Samsung’s upcoming Omnia II here is some very interesting news for you.
rosoft’s Austrian website (hope you can read German) suggests that the phone will go straight to Windows Mobile 6.5 bypassing the now tired looking WM6.1.
I’m pretty sure that this is welcomed news not only for Samsung fans but for Windows Mobile fans also.
