NVIDIA Tegra smartphone due from a “top five” manufacturer before 2010?

Posted June 30, 2009 – in: Blog, Cell Phone, Technology, Web, Windows, netbooks

YAY! Finally, 3D on a phone from a company that is good at 3D! Though I think there will be more interest in Tegra netbooks but I am excited to see what’s coming.

While searching I came across Snackr. It allows you to scroll your feeds along the edge of your desktop. It is very unobtrusive and looks very nice.

nVidia’s Tegra platform demo (footage)

Posted June 4, 2009 – in: Blog, Technology, Web, Windows, netbooks

I want a netbook. But I have biding my time as the current gen seems a little underpowered. I want to be able to watch a decent res video on a plane flight from NY to CA (typically 5hours on the longest leg). The second gen looks like it might give me what I want and more. Dual core Atom with nVidia’s new Tegra platform is making the netbook look very attractive. Now I won’t have to lug my MacBook around worrying about it getting stolen/damaged.

Microsoft: ‘June 2009 will be an important month for Zune lovers… hold off from buying an iPhone/Pre’

Posted May 12, 2009 – in: Blog, Cell Phone, Technology, Windows

Microsoft has a new twitter account in support of its Office 2010 product launch. What’s strange though, is that the people behind the account seem to care more about the future of the Zune than Office. Two tweets (of five) from this account have caught our attention. The first says,

June 2009 will be an important month for Zune lovers.
