Like women with shoes, geeks can never have too many gadget bags.
Over the last few days I’ve been testing out the Ultimate Addons netbook bag from Ultimate Netbook. Its a 700gm bag with a split, padded central area and additional front and rear pockets.

I love the community we have here.  Just 60 minutes after posting about Opera Mobile 9.7 and mentioning that it would be interesting to have a desktop version with Turbo, Hrundik drops a comment in to say “Opera Turbo preview for desktop is already available.” And sure enough, there it is in Opera Labs for Windows, Mac and Linux. ultra mobile PC users, this is something you have to have in your toolkit. Turbo Mode is going to save you bandwidth (if you’re on a restricted data plan) and speed […]

The SWD-M100 Mondi [product page] is the WiMax device that was spotted at MWC in Feb. There in Barcelona it was seen running Windows Mobile 6.1 which didn’t really get too many people excited. It looks like we might find out more soon though. Phone Scoop have found a new image on a Samsung RSS feed. The device is potentially very interesting. If it uses a fast, Cortex-core  processor, Windows Mobile 6.5 and the new Opera Mobile 9.7 browser then it will meet a lot of wish-lists, spot-on. Until we […]

This is superb for travellers that want to cut their roaming data costs because it saves up to 90% of bandwidth […]

I’m very tempted to do this myself but I’m not sure that a ‘pro’ that should be doing it. I think it would be better if someone from the ultra mobile community did it so here I am putting the challenge out to you. Fly the Ultra Mobile computing flag. Pull all your Web2.0 skills together with your mobile computer and passion for travel and sign-up for the competition. Think GPS, Google Maps, Geotagging, Live tracking, great photography, audio voxpops and creativity. My initial idea was to take a micro […]

Netbooknews.de have posted a video via (PDA.pl) from ARM that shows the Wistron Netbook, a thin, Sony Vaio-like netbook baed on the Quallcom Snapdragon CPU and running Linux. Jump to the action at 2:32 I really realy want to get my hands on a snapdragon-based device as soon as possible. I want to feed back to you all on the real-world browsing speed and capabilities. Video: Qualcomm Konzepte auf dem MWC 2009 | Netbooknews.de – das Netbook Blog. Note. ‘Firstbook’ is the name i’ve picked up from the video. It’s […]

As I was reviewing my keyword searches on the social network Twitter this morning (I use Particls.com) I came across a really interesting question. @phabulosa asks: “Really want to know why Moblin can boot that fast and how instant-on Linux works. Someone can tell me?”
