It is equipped with a 10 inch 1366 x 768 daylight viewable screen as well as some good performance specs.

It’s far from their first flash drives, but Kingston has unveiled their first range of USB 3.0 flash drives. The DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0. These new drives sport the usual design looks and are available in three different capacities: 16GB, 32GB and 64GB.

If you’re looking for a new e-Book reader, but need one at an affordable price, check out the jetBook mini from Ectaco. Sure, that design looks like it is made for a child, but cheapskates can’t be choosers. This baby is priced at just $99.95.

It comes equipped with a 5-inch TFT display, an SD card slot (up to 2GB), clock and date functions, adjustable font sizes, a multi-language interface and it runs on 4 AAA batteries which are included.

Nokia World 2010 gave the company a chance to debut the Nokia C3 Touch and Type. This model merges both a traditional keyboard and a touchscreen display, bringing the best of both worlds to the device. Single-handed operation is what its about.

Some features include Wi-Fi, quad band support, 3G/HSPA support, Nokia Messaging 3.0, and a 5-megapixel camera with flash. The stainless steel case makes for a classy looking exterior. You can choose from Silver, Warm grey and Khaki Gold colors.

The BlackBerry Curve 3G will be available on September 26th and can be picked up via Sprint’s direct ship sales channels for $49.99 with a new two-year contract.

The BlackBerry Curve 3G comes with 512MB of flash memory, a microSDHC memory card slot for expansion, is BlackBerry 6 ready and comes in your choice of Graphite Gray or Royal Purple chrome-like finishes. The digital camera is just 2-megapixels and of course there’s the full QWERTY keyboard.

Internet Explorer’s global browser market share has declined year after year, moving away from its 90% figure back in 2003. Microsoft hopes to gain some ground with its Internet Explorer 9 beta announcement. Maybe they can reclaim some numbers from Google Chrome and Firefox.

Faster than IE8, IE9 will also be more compliant with HTML5, CSS3 and SVG2 standards. Microsoft is pinning all of their hopes on IE9 being the only browser to take advantage of full hardware acceleration when you surf the Internet. However, Mozilla disputes that claim, saying that they are faster and first. Hopefully this isn’t a case of too little too late for the big M.

If you shoot and share a ton of video clips of your life, then check out the Looxcie wearable camcorder. The device will be available on Amazon starting this Wednesday for $199. It allows you to capture videos at 480 x 320 pixel resolution at 15FPS.

The Looxcie can be docked to a user’s ear, so that it can see and record what you see, making it a part of you. It will record and store up to 4-hours of video. If you see something interesting, you can hit the “instant clip” button which will save the last 30 seconds of video and package it into a video file which can be shared via Bluetooth to a companion mobile app.

By now, you’ve probably heard of the Skyfire browser. Well, now the company has announced that its flash-enabled browser has hit the 1 million mark.

It’s a great browser to use if your mobile device hasn’t received official support for Adobe Flash yet. Skyfire is compatible with a wide range of phones including the HTC EVO 4G, Droid Incredible, Droid X, Droid 2, and Samsung Galaxy S.

If you have important data on your notebook that you take with you so you can work on the go, you should be backing it up. The problem is that some data is so important you need to do more than just save it to an external HDD. This is why folks use RAID arrays in an office setting.

NewerTech has unveiled a new portable RAID storage solution that supports RAID 0 and RAID 1 with dual drives inside. The device is called the Guardian Maximus mini and it sports four different interfaces to allow it to work with Mac and PCs.

The Streak is a lot more portable than the iPad, but you still can’t call it as pocket-friendly as the iPhone. Nevertheless, Dell wants to fill up their Streak with a healthcare software app.

Dell has a good reputation in the medical world already, but with the Streak Dell aims to get in even deeper, giving the tablet to doctors to test later this year. The dual cameras will be useful for recording the patient’s progress, and using the app they can update their electronic medical records.

XtremeMac has all manner of accessories and cases for Apple gear like the iPad, iPhone, and iPod. Over the last few months, the company has been rolling out a lot of new audio docks that have some interesting features. The latest new dock from XtremeMac is the Tango TRX and the Tango TRX D.

Both of the versions have the same basic features. The both have a dock built into the main section of the device that charges while music plays. Both have Bluetooth and use 2.1 speakers inside. The speakers include a pair of tweeter, a pair of mid-range drivers, and a single downward firing subwoofer.

HTC has just announced the Desire Z, an Android QWERTY slider. Just like the T-Mobile G2, the Desire Z has a pop-out QWERTY keyboard with user assigned keys and system-wide shortcuts so you can quickly launch your favorite apps.

There’s also a 5 megapixel camera with flash in back that’s HD video capable. An 800MHz Qualcomm MSM7230 processor is inside with HSPA+ and 802.11n. The Desire Z also comes with HTC’s enhanced Sense UI and new HTCSense.com services.

When it comes to geeky toys that we liked when we were kids and many adults still play with today, building sets are right up there. I would wager a number of geeks play with Lego to this day and on occasion, we see an awesome Lego sculpture turn up. A new and suitably geeky building system called nanodots has now surfaced.

Nanodots are tiny little magnets that are round and look like BB’s. You can take the little nanodots and use them to build all sorts of shapes and other items with angles, flat surfaces and more. The magnets are powerful enough to keep their shape even with complex designs needing thousands of the little things.

I am not the sort of person to pack a wallet with a bunch of photos, business cards, and general junk until it’s so swollen you can’t even sit on it. I like thin wallets that go in the front pocket and the only things I take with me are a single car key, my iPhone, and my wallet when I leave the house.

An awesome new iPhone 4 case has turned up that will let me ditch the wallet and only carry the iPhone and my car key when I go out. The case is called the Minimalist 4 and is made by Trtl Bot. It does all the normal stuff you expect a case to do like protect your phone if you drop it. The thing is made from recycled plastic right here in the USA.
