I was a bit of a fan of the first Viewty, so much so that my girlfriend got one. She had it for a while and loved it until an drop down the toilet severed the relationship.
So I’ve been following the lineage of the Viewty and have been quiet interested in this newer version. Check out Mobileburn’s huge review and I have attached a couple of videos after the break.
Recently Sony Ericsson added to their range of Walkman branded handsets with the launch of the entry-level W205. The W205 is a small and light handset with sliding screen that reveals a basic numeric keypad.
While the Sony Ericsson W205 is intended to be entry-level, which becomes apparent when you look at the 1.2" Display and 1.3MP camera, but there are some features that help to elevate its status a little. For example, there’s the build in FM Radio with RDS and the ability to record the FM radio and to capture video. There’s also Mini-opera web browser preinstalled but web browsing on that 128×160 pixel display could be interesting.
If you want to use this handset for music you definitely need to invest in a M2 micro memory card as there’s only 5MB of built in memory and card support is only 2GB.
Have a look at the video below while we finish off the review.

Know what’s popular nowadays? Netbooks! Nokia is officially jumping on the netbook bullet train with the “Booklet 3G” — an Intel/Microsoft-based netbook that promises 12-hour battery life, a weight of 2.75 pounds, and apparently built-in GPS. The “3G” portion of the name indicates a wireless data connection as well.
The Acer Aspire Revo is an ultra small form factor PC and is probably among the smallest we’ve seen. Combining the power of the NVidia 9400M Graphics Processor with the lean efficiency of the Intel N230 Processor, the Aspire Revo redefines compact, affordable computing with a package that is big on performance but miniscule in size. Based around nVidia’s ION performance platform, the Revo takes expectation to new levels boasting stutter free 1080p playback, a wealth of connectivity options and a gaming performance that belies it’s small size.
I’m not 100% sure what model Acer have sent me here but the Revo comes in a number of flavours from a 8GB SSD Linux version to a 160GB Windows Vista version. You’ll have to wait for the full review to find out which we have! For now though take a look at the unboxing video below for a quick tour of the Revo.
The AspireRevo is small but powerful, fueled by today’s latest mini processor, complimented by an advanced NVIDIA® ION™graphics chipset and HDMI™ connectivity supporting full 1080P HD for very real-looking imagery. An eSATA port, six USB ports and a memory card reader make transferring your photos and other files as fast and easy as ever.
AspireRevo makes the perfect everyday PC for cruising the Internet, doing daily work, staying connected via instant messaging, and enjoying photos, music, videos and more. Simple quick connection to the internet and home network with AspireRevo’s built-in 802.11b/g WiFi controller.
The Aspire R3600 is a revolution in the design as well. An ultra slim diamond shape design that can be portable and easily attached to the VESA mounting at the rear of an LCD monitor. Moreover the power button peeks over the monitor for easy access and the position is adjustable to fit various monitors. The innovative case layout takes up a lot of space less of a traditional desktop and is ideal for the Living room, bedroom or even the kitchen.

Last week we have dropped by to the biggest gaming trade show in the world (over 3 times bigger than American E3 and also bigger than Japanese Tokyo Game Show): gamescom 2009 in Germany. While most of the stuff on that trade show was about gaming consoles, we have spotted also a stand of T-Mobile in form of a truck:
This is one handset that we’ve had repeated requests to unbox and review on site and this week I managed to get my hands on the LG GD900 Crystal. I have to say it’s a great looking handset with an impressive touchscreen display and an equally impressive transparent sliding keypad, hence the Crystal name.
We’re in the middle of reviewing the LG Crystal at the moment and hope to have the review online for you in the next few days. Check out the unboxing video below for a more detailed look at the handset. Note that I did stop and start recording as the handset was taking forever to start up!
A world first, innovative concept of transparency infused with a mobile phone, the LG GD900 Crystal. A completely clear keypad, with soft gentle illumination that confirms key presses. Made from a a glass like material and polished silver finish; the LG GD900 Crystal is a striking statement of design.

Here’s a video from Pocketnow sporting a video walk through of the new Sense UI style TouchFlo/Manilla interface for Windows Mobile. It all loks liveley and hides the fact you are using Windows Mobile. The capacitive screen option further fuels the HTC Leo rumours.
I think that it’s fair to say that Asus played a fairly big role in the success and popularity of the netbook PC over the past few years with the Eee PC 701 selling in such vast quantities that it was hard to get hold of in the early days. Now it seems that all of the manufacturers have jumped on the bandwagon with netbook PCs ranging in size from 7" to 10" displays you can more or less take your pick of your favourite manufacturer.
A while ago we had a chance to look at the Gigabyte M912 which I believe was the first of the small form PC’s to have a built in touchscreen and to bridge the netbook/tablet divide.
So it looks like Asus are following rather than leading with their Eee PC T91. This netbook comes well specified with 1.33gHz Atom CPU, 1GB RAM, 16GB SSD and 9" touchscreen display. The screen also swivels back on itself so that it may be used as a more conventional tablet style PC.
We’ll spend the next couple of weeks using the Eee PC T91 and will have a full review up on site shortly after. For now have a look at the brief unboxing video below. As you’ll see, the screen is extremely reflective but that’s largely down to how bright it was when I was recording. We’ll have some better screen shots for you with the review.
