I’m no pro photog, but damn I wanna learn – and these will do…
Sony officially released info on its new compact dSLR-wannabe cameras (no, not micro four thirds, because Sony is Sony) but damn, they’re pretty damn hot…the thinnest body to date of a camera with dSLR speed. Yes, it’s missing an optical viewfinder, but the LCD on this is pretty impressive with multiple viewing angles/positions. I’ve always …

Swype – pretty freakin’ sweet
Swype – the alternate input method to make touchscreen keyboards just THAT much better is getting more popular now and being bundled with some new phones. I’ve just recently had a chance to mess with it, and I tell ya, it’s pretty sweet! For those that aren’t familiar with it, instead of hunting and pecking …

No mo’ Skype for WinMo
Well, no more new releases at least – according to Skype, neither WinMo nor their Java client provided a good experience.

Those looking for a decent cheap laptop that’s portable and powerful with a great (albeit new design for Lenovo) keyboard really may need to look no further.

Microsoft announce Windows Mobile 7 – aka Windows Phone 7 series O_O
Yeah, that’s a long name alright, but MS seems to have finally done it. Check out their site as well the buzz from the people that were at the MWC in Barcelona. From the looks of it, it’s inspired/based on their newer Zune navigation UI (which is not a bad thing!). Oversized fonts and a …

Don’t stick with your stock WM ROM!
yeah yeah I’m way behind but I was just too busy with work to stop and reflash my HTC TP2… anyway – finally got around to doing it the other day and since i’m on Tmob I decided to stick with Timor’s Tmob optimized ROM. Was a fairly easy process of using HardSPL to basically …

obligatory iPad coverage!
Looks like everyone and their grandma is talking about it so here’s the best place to get info. Both Engadget and Gizmodo are liveblogging at the event and have some hands-on opportunities as well! Lucky bastards! Nitty gritty: 1ghz Apple custom processor WiFi, multitouch, App support from App store for existing apps (native or pixel-doubled) …

HTC Touch Pro 2 for cheap – WMdeals.com
This has been around for awhile, but it’s still going and the deal is getting better! I got mine a few months ago and had to pay $50 and get a $50 credit 3 months later from Tmobile. This is a pretty damn good phone all around! Yeah, the screen is resistive, but it does …
