Multi-Topics

[Saul]

First topic of today will be the HP Slate 500, finally had a price released for it, which is a massive £500.

It is a multi-touch capable Windows 7 slate PC.

Runs on an Intel Atom Z540 processor @ 1.86GHz. Although it runs on low power and produces little to no heat, that is where the good points end. It falls far behind most modern processors.

Full web experience available, which includes Adobe AIR and Adobe Flash.

Sadly I won't be getting it due to the price. I wouldn't say it was worth it.

--------------------------------------------

Second topic of today will be Mario special edition Wii and DSi XL

Never been a fan of handheld gaming consoles, so I cannot really give an in depth opinion on that front, so I will stick to the Wii.

I WAS a fan of the Wii (although not owning one myself), this would have prompted me to buy one if it wasn't for the fact that I played Playstation Move a few days ago and it shits all over the Wii. Now the Wii doesn't seem fun or responsive at all. Sad really, I would have loved to add this to my gaming collection.

--------------------------------------------

Third topic of today will be the Blackberry Style.

New blackberry operating system (6.0) integrated.

A flip phone of course. All the features of blackberry are finally available for flip lovers.

It is a less business-y blackberry and a more fun, social blackberry.

--------------------------------------------

Fourth topic of today will be the two new MacBook Air's.

As usual, Apple have over-priced it by a mile. £1000+ for the 11" and 13".

I really don't have much more to say about this tbh. inadequate memory and processor for the price.

Along with this topic i'll throw in the new Mac OS X Lion. Coming next Summer. Hopefully make the Mac more user friendly, none of these complicated and stupid commands.
