CES is world's biggest show dedicated to consumer electronics products and takes place in Las Vegas every year. During this time manufacturers present their latest products and most important, their prototypes and concepts, trying to catch press and user feedback on them. I didn't attend CES this
From last centry, when computers appeared, we've used buttons to control them, buttons on keyboards, on panes, on a mouse. The mouse was the first device to allow controlling an element on the screen (the cursor in this case) by moving it on a flat surface. Then touchscreen appeared, where we intera
I've been writing articles on my Nokia E71 while traveling for some time now and it's working really good if I follow some basic rules. Most of those rules are meant to overcome the limitations of the smaller screen a Smartphone has and the limited multitasking capabilities. [caption id="attachme
I'm using computers starting 1994. I own mine in 1995 (31 december, what a day). I grew up with modern era computers (386 and 486 PC models) and I've realised, like many others, that technology doesn't evolve in balanced way. Today's microprocessors are a few thousand times more powerful than the on
Today I've received the highly anticipated HTC Hero, the European white version (which sells on Amazon for a hefty 700 $, without US warranty), for testing. I got a few hours with the this touch screen little genie and I have now some odd feelings about touchscreen technology in general, that I'm go
I was writing today about the Nokia E52 and got to the part with price and had to mention that this was the price at the time of the writing and that it will change for sure in the future. This is OK if someone visits this page today or one week from now: the information will still be valid, but wha
Electric cars are a hot topic these times when global warming and the financial crisis make people look out for solutions to both problems. The thing is I don't believe in the future of the fully electric cars. Hybrid are not true economical/ecological cars, as for example the Prius can't achieve a
We all know that the CPU (microprocessor) is the heart of our computer. If it's fast you'll see it, if it's not you'll feel that too in every day tasks. If you're curious how a microprocessor is made you can check this Intel webpage or download this presentation. What's the most interesting part is
By default a wristwatch has the primary function of displaying time (a regular watch, not a collection one). A cell phone also has the function of displaying time but that's secondary. What do you get when you combine the two of them, a gadget in the form of a watch with an extended function of a ce
On of the advantages of working in the IT Press, even remotely, is that you get to test the latest gadgets and be the one that tells friends what to buy, not the one that asks. This week we've received at the office the 5800 XpressMusic, the first serious touchscreen phone from Nokia. I don't wan
