Its taken a while, but the Nokia Booklet 3G has arrived for preorder in the UK.  The 10.1-inch 3G-enabled netbook is available SIM-free and unlocked, and is priced at £649 including VAT ($1,049).  Your money gets you Windows 7, WiFi, Bluetooth and 3G, along with A-GPS and an HMDI connection.  No word on when it will actually begin shipping, however.
There’s also a long-lasting battery, which Nokia claim will see you 12 hours runtime.  Back when we reviewed the Booklet 3G in November, we found actual battery life was more like 8.5hrs at most with WiFi switched on and the backlight at medium; we also had concerns about performance, with the Nokia’s relatively anaemic Atom Z530 processor falling short even of first-gen netbooks.

It’s only been a couple days since the official announcement heard ’round the world: Valve is releasing Steam for Mac.
We can still remember the days when you needed a whole bunch of wires, strung up along the wall or hidden beneath the carpet, and speakers placed methodically throughout a living room or bedroom, to recreate that beautiful surround sound experience we all love so much in theaters.
There’s a pretty distinct set of reasons why, for the most part, it’s a good thing or a bad thing to be an early adopter of any piece of tech that comes out.
Streaming videos isn’t the new thing. Although, we would say that it’s becoming ever more popular as the weeks progress into the 2010 year, and we’re wondering if all those cable and satellite providers out there are shaking in their boots yet.
3D is making a huge push, hoping that the technology will be widely adopted by everyone sooner than later.
This isn’t the first time we’ve heard about Samsung’s eReader. It’s one of those pieces of technology that looks just as good as it’s supposed to perform, and it certainly catches our eye.
That title shouldn’t be that big of a surprise. If you’ll recall, the Zune HD does 3D gaming as well, and considering that the XNA Studios is heavily invested in the Personal Media Player, we’re not surprised to hear (again) that XNA and Windows Phone 7 are going hand-in-hand.
Intel’s Atom chips are well known for being the low-cost alternative to “better” processors on the market, and up until now, it’s been a general rule of thumb that their presence in the mobile industry has been stymied to a single-core layout.
Ease of use and convenience is a big part of anyone’s life. And when you’re working with computers, for work or personal use, then you know working with more than one of them can become a hassle given enough time.
Most suitcases are pretty much the same with square designs and not much in the way of style. If you want to be different and travel a lot, you might like the GasCase that appears to be sized for carry-on use on commercial flights.
