    Sony Ericsson Xperia X1

    Beautiful

    You may have read a while back that I upgraded from the HTC Touch to the HTC Touch Dual and was in mobile heaven - Windows Mobile Professional, but with a keypad and 3G!  Forced to downgrade to my Samsung E900 after my departure from Microsoft UK, I set about finding a replacement Windows Mobile.

    Then I spotted this little gem... it appears to be manufactured by HTC but everything else about it is Sony, it oozes quality and style, and I simply must have one!  Check out the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1.

    GeForce GTX 260/280

    Next-gen Graphics

    Well I doubt it was my ranting blog that caused this product shift, but nVidia have finally released a proper next-gen graphics card, namely the GeForce GTX 200 series.  They've used an old nVidia trick here - take a previous generation successful architecture (the 8 Series cards), and then build upon that, fixing all the original problems and perfecting the manufacturing process to leave us with a real new generation card, instead of a re-branded old one.

    Fortunately, the good guys over at Tom's Hardware have put together a nice lengthy review for your pleasure, so I'll leave you with this: I'm still disappointed.
