3D Gaming And Video Coming To A Dell and HP Laptop

I was just thinking that my laptop's screen was way too two-dimensional. Ok, no I wasn't but these rumored 3D laptops from Dell and HP could be pretty freaking cool for 3D games and movies. The rumor is that Dell and HP have placed orders with Taiwanese manufacturer Wistron for 3D notebooks and they could arrive soon. Acer has been rumored to release a notebook with a 16-inch 3D display as soon as next month. I have to expect 3D technology would add quite a bit to these types of notebooks...

How to on Panasonic’s Lumix DMC-GH1?

Olympus' E-P1 may be cuter, but it was Panny's own Lumix DMC-GH1 carrying the Micro Four Thirds banner for quite some time.

There's also a built-in mic now. We took a listen and found the music listening capabilities much improved,...

ITG xpPhone

How would you like to have a device as small (relatively speaking) as a large smartphone with Windows XP running on it? Well, that would be the ITG xpPhone, where it is being prepared to be released on AT&T, Vodafone and Orange networks in the near future. The 4.8" touchscreen display might be suitable for a standard phone operating system, but is it OK for Windows XP? Features are pretty much more of a netbook than a cellphone, where you get the following : AMD Super Mobile...

Nokia N86 8MP finally available

It's still showing as a preorder on Nokia USA's own site, but Amazon and the brick-and-mortar flagship stores in Chicago and New York are finally stocking the N86 8MP a little bit of a stretch for the "coming weeks" claim made at the North American version's launch announcement back in July. T he beefy dual slider features a 2.6-inch QVGA OLED display, US 3G up to 3.6Mbps on the downlink, and WiFi  but clearly the big draw is its 8 megapixel cam with Carl Zeiss optics around back accompanied...
