I always thought of Samsung i8910HD as a good social networking mobile phone for youths. A fair Sidekick LX rival with its full physical QWERTY but more humble camera and price tag. No matter, replacing plastic with gold should make i8910HD Gold more appealing to… whom? Come to think of it, if I was on the market with my own money in search for a premium class mobile phone I'd walk straight to Nokia booth and grabbed something from 8xxx series, preferably an Erdos. For the last five years it was a yardstick for premium class cell phones. I'd consider i8910HD Gold as a present only. Yes, it's flashy and glamorous. I do like Champagne Gold styling, Luxury Brown is not so pretty by me, but you still get a leather case for it. For those interested, Samsung i8919HD sales will start soon in Europe and Middle East.
It's not only the battle of two devices it is the battle of two cell phone services providers: Sprint and AT&T. These two phones will be their best and most powerful presenters that they have. iPhone 3G is not out yet but AT&T was successfully selling the previous versions of iPhone for almost a year now. So some people love AT&T and other love Sprint and it's their choice. What we are going to do is compare the features of the two phones.

We got used to see solar chargers appearing all around especially before summer. We’ve seen and reviewed a good slag of them. Mostly, solar chargers require a bit of compromise in day-to-day usage – freedom they offer can be bogged down by taking care of them like leaving the thing in the sun and carrying extra weight. Anyway, here is a one more solar power gadget, the one for iPhone and iPod this time.
Safety proportions in everyday PC usage are pretty much a big part of every user’s attention. It happens so that the most popular desktop OS developer appears to be suffering from thousands of different viruses, malware and spyware attacks on sometimes careless, but mostly helpless users. We are talking about Windows of course. Let’s not forget shall we that even though MS is currently multitasking at three operating systems at a time, the oldest one of three – Windows XP – seems to hold its stand firmly. Therefore keeping XP virus free isn’t any less a topical issue than it used to be. Here we want to refer to Reimage – a unique system recovery tool. Unlike any other antivirus software, Reimage can come in handy even when system is already infected and/or badly damaged. Reimage works only with Win XP, but there will be a Vista version soon and hopefully another one for Windows 7 when it arrives.

Since Google Chrome OS announcement has came down the pipeline from officials, most of reviewers on the web found themselves in tireless trial of opposing Chrome OS to Windows 7, Mac OS X Snow Leopard and Linux (Mint mostly). This all is very interesting and I recon debates will not stop even when Win 7 and Chrome OS will both be out of beta. Yet there could be a point missed in these discussions. Google underlines web orientation of the announced operating system, which in few words means it will do everything perfectly well until you decide to launch an app installed on your netbook, old PC, you name it, rather than using resources of web servers. Windows 7 on the other hand is meant to be everything for everyone. Therefore they are not quite in the same league. So, here is what we are going to do then – stack up Chrome OS with Jolicloud.
New stable version of Google Chrome web-browser now sees the light of the day.

You wearing a wrist watch? What for? I guess you can easily find what time is it on display of a mobile phone, desktop or onboard dial in a car. Wrist watches nowadays are very much of an accessory rather than a necessity, simple as that. But, "let's just add some more functionality to them since they have an advantage of tight contact with human body" Michael Mathis and Gerda Hopfgartner thought and came up with the StressWatch – a watch that shows real time status of your stress.
Computer science was always in the front rows of science fields that achieve fastest growing speeds. But it seems to me that this days computing on the go outpaces computing on the couch.

And now there is Elpida Memory – the company that made its name designing memory modules for all types of computers out there. The latest gadget from them is a 2-Gigabit DDR2 memory module for mobile devices.
LG Chocolate BL40 has been launched in early September. And now, right this Monday, 28 they have announced new Chocolate series BL20 slider. Is it much like Palm with its Pre and less well equipped Pixi sitting in the pipeline. Only that since Pre has gone cheaper, prices are on the different level. I've brought Palm example because it's the freshest of the case, all manufacturers do the same at some degree. Since LG Chocolate BL20 is not that much of a pump like Pixi, we'll just have a short specs walkthrough. Release of the BL20 is going to happen in Q4 in UK at O2.
About a year ago, we had a fortune to become witness of the first OLED panel going into mass production. Back then it was a hi-tech exhibition, and, well, the story has repeated, almost.
