Samsung NC10 3G already available in Poland.

Posted on 01 December 2008

This is the first time I’ve seen the 3G version of the Samsung NC10 in any sort of official form. iPlus in Poland have already started selling them (Since November 26th) with 4 different 24-month contract options. Specs include Windows XP Home, the 160GB drive and the 6-cell battery. Tasty! Now what’s the Polish for ‘Review’? More information and links for the Samsung NC10 here.

The predictions were that Nokia World would largely be a software and applications event but Robert Scoble has stirred the pot and seen something else.

JKK likes the design – "Its looking pretty nice and thin. Good for eyes. Nice design" and then precedes to take […]

Posted on 01 December 2008

Christmas is approaching which means I’ll be heading to the UK for my Turkey dinner soon. It also means that I’ll be checking out mobile broadband and 3G netbook availability just in case I feel the need while I’m there. Here’s a few news items I found as I was checking out offers today. Virgin Mobile is introducing a  pre and post-pay option to their mobile phone tariff which gives you a full day of web access (We assume that it’s a port-80 proxy service here) for just 30p. OK, […]

If you don’t know about it, now is your chance because we’ve teamed up with Pocketables to enhance and share the product database to bring you ‘Pocketables Products.’ Not only does this increase the number of partners now adding, managing and sharing products and links in the database (Liliputing and JKKMobile are already part of the network of sites that contribute) but it brings a whole new category […]
