Dell launches its thinnest ever monitor at 9.9mm thick

Over the years I’ve had a number of monitors and found the best viewing experience to be with Dell. That being said, I’ve only used their high-end 24-inch displays for any length of time, which are well-known for their quality.
One thing they are not though, is thin, but that’s a fact Dell is trying to change with the launch of a new, ultra-slim 23-inch monitor claimed to be the company’s thinnest ever.
The Dell S2330MX is a mere 9.9mm thick and weighs just 3.76kg. Even so, it’s capable of 1080p output using a 1000:1 static and 8 million:1 dynamic contrast ratio coupled with a brightness rating of 250cd/m2. The aspect ratio is 16:9, it has a 2ms response time, and can display 16.7 million colors. As for conenctivity, it has both VGA and DVI ports, but ships with a DVI-to-HDMI converter meaning all connectivity scenarios are catered for.
This monitor is also going to be a good choice for the environmentally conscious as its LED backlighting
means power draw is just 27 watts. Dell also managed to achieve Energy Star compliance and get an EPEAT Silver rating.
When I watched the video below I was a little worried you’d not be able to adjust the monitor so it wasn’t tilting backwards all the time. Thankfully it has a good range of tilting options from up to 4 degrees forward to 21 degrees backwards.
I’m also a fan of the donut stand which is perfect for placing your wireless dongles inside and not have them slide off the back of your desk. And even with the stand connected to the display it’s still only 7 inches deep.
The Dell S2330MX is available now for $249.99 with that price rising to a maximum $338.99 is you take out the 5 year advance exchange warranty on offer direct from Dell.

AT&T HTC Titan phone with Windows Phone 7.5 Mango

The new AT&T HTC Titan cell phone with 4.7-inch screen. A little too big for me, but this looks like a great phone. This would be awesome! I was looking to go with the Focus S even though I would prefer a bigger screen size. After seeing the reviews of the Titan and the huge improvements on the camera I think i’m pretty sold. WP7 handsets are overpriced and underwhelming. Something has to happen. Since they can’t launch handsets with good specs at least they can lower the price.

Specs:

    * 4.7″ display
    * 1.5GHz processor
    * 8MP rear camera, 1.3MP front camera
    * Dual-LED flash
AT&T is also planning on updated its existing lineup of Windows Phone 7 devices to the Mango 7.5 update, including:

    * HTC HD7S
    * HTC Surround
    * LG Quantum
    * Samsung Focus

Verizon Sony Ericsson Xperia Play

The Sony Ericsson Xperia Play is something we are all looking forward to with a great deal of anticipation, but Sony hasn’t given any hint on the release date or the carrier yet. Now it seems that Verizon will probably bring this device to the game players on February 13th. Well, the leaked document has presented several main info about two hot smartphones, namely Apple’s iPhone 4 and the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play. It’s said that the Xperia Play is to land Big Read, the Verizon Wireless. Obviously the document doesn’t include any indication as far as when we might expect this phone to hit Verizon’s store shelves, however, on February 13th, just a day before MWC, the device will be fully introduced and we’re sure more information is to be unveiled there.
Well, as reported the Verizon Sony Ercisson Xperia Play will rock Android 2.3 Gingerbread right out of box, at the same time, the display measures 4-inch with high 480 x 854 resolution. These two points have been
reconfirmed by the leaked document. As for the data speed, we haven’t yet known. Now that with the MWC close by, the following couple of weeks are going to be very exciting in the mobile world. So if you are among those game players, just hold your breath, next week is up to an amazing start and it shouldn’t be long when the Xperia Play shows up in the US.

New Verizon LG Revolution Android phone

The new Verizon LG Revolution is a nice phone, the UI looks a almost identical to TouchWiz in my opinion, that’s a good thing to me. 4.3" and that thickness don’t agree with my pocket. Android 2.2 OS, single core, VZW Crapware. Why do all these new android phones come out with 2.2 rather than 2.3? I fully expect Gingerbread to be on all new phones… six months after Ice Cream comes out. The Verizon LG Revolution on sale for $249.99, Verizon started pricing all their top end android phones at $250-300. In few weeks they will drop the price to $150-200.
 

Specifications:

The Verizon LG Revolution cell phone a 4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen, 5 megapixel camera with flash and HD video recording capabilities, Surround sound through SRS WOW HD, separate front-facing camera for video calls, 1 GHz Snapdragon processor
, LTE, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi mobile hotspot, Bluetooth 3.0, 16 GB on-board storage and Google Android 2.2.

HTC Sensation 4G Android phone

The T-Mobile HTC Sensation 4G cell phone is now on sale for $199.99 with $50 mail-in rebate or $549.99 off contract. This is cool. I have a friend who wants to buy it unlocked but the price is too high. Hopefully the unlocked price goes down soon. I’m tempted to go pick this up right now but I’ll wait until July and after that if it’s not out then I’m going for the HTC Evo 3D. Looks like a great smartphone at an outstanding price. It is a tempting offer, but the comparisons against the Samsung GS II makes me want to wait!
 
Specifications:

 The T-Mobile HTC Sensation 4G cell phone features include 4.3-inch qHD (540×960) 16:9 display, a 1.2GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, an 8-megapixel camera with auto-focus and 1080p HD video recording, a forward-facing camera for video chats, 768MB of RAM, 1GB of internal storage, and
an 8GB microSD card, HDMI connection and Android with HTC Sense.

HOW TO DETECT A 2-WAY MIRROR?

When we visit toilets, bathrooms, hotel rooms, changing rooms, etc., How many of you know for sure that the seemingly ordinary mirror hanging on the wall is a real mirror, or actually a 2-way mirror I.e., they can see
you, but you can't see them. There have been many cases of people installing 2-way mirrors in female changing rooms or bathroom or bedrooms.

It is very difficult to positively identify the surface by just looking at it. So, how do we determine with any amount of certainty what type of Mirror we are looking at?

CONDUCT THIS SIMPLE TEST:

Place the tip of your fingernail against the reflective surface and if there is a GAP between your fingernail and the image of the nail, then it is a GENUINE mirror.

However, if your fingernail DIRECTLY TOUCHES the image of your nail, then BEWARE, IT IS A 2-WAY MIRROR! (There may be someone seeing you from the other side). So remember, every time you see a mirror, do the "fingernail test." It doesn't cost you anything. It is simple to do.

This is a really good thing to do. The reason there is a gap on a real mirror, is because the silver is on the back of the mirror UNDER the glass.

Whereas with a two-way mirror, the silver is on the surface. Keep it in mind! Make sure and check every time you enter in hotel rooms.

Share this with your sisters, wife, daughters, friends, colleagues, etc.

HTC Amaze 4G

The new T-Mobile HTC Amaze 4G cell phone is now on sale for $259.99 with 2-Year contract. As for the Amaze it’s a bulkier, heavier version of the Sensation with more Ram and internal memory (And a few more camera specs). The Galaxy S II headed to T-Mobile is coming up next, it is a great phone too and build quality is much better than the original S but they’ve kept that lightweight and almost cheap feeling, but it doesn’t feel cheap by any means. I’m really looking forward to this phone. And while I’ve been very happy with the performance, the aesthetics and build quality are lacking.  I’m excited to get a sexier, better built, and heavier phone in my paws.
Specifications:
Photographs of an upcoming Android smartphone from HTC, the HTC Amaze 4G, have been leaked alongside purported preliminary specifications. Thai-language Android news site Droid Sans obtained the
images and specs, which line up with exclusive details reported by BGR last month. Highlights include a 4.3-inch qHD display, a dual-core 1.5GHz processor, an 8-megapixel camera, 16GB of storage, 1GB of RAM and HSPA+ 42 compatibility for use on T-Mobile’s network, among others.

AT&T HTC Inspire 4G Android phone

The new AT&T HTC Inspire 4G cell phone supports HSPA+, Unless it says LTE or WiMAX, it isn’t “4G”. This phone doesn’t have a front facing camera and only has a 1230 mAh battery. The Inspire 4G looks like the Evo, just like how the HTC Desire HD and the HTC Thunderbolt look like the Evo. Wow great Android phones AND the iPhone?? Well done AT&T! Either these phones will be outdated very quickly when the LTE network comes, or AT&T will push back their plans for LTE because of all this hullabaloo about HSPA+.


Software And Specifications:

AT&T HTC Inspire 4G will have a 4.3 inch WVGA display,  an 8-megapixel camera with dual-LED flash, Android 2.2 Froyo, it will be launch in 2011.
The software set for the HTC Inspire 4G is as follows. Out of the box, Google Android 2.2 Froyo operating system is on board, however, the Inspire 4G recently benefited from an over the air upgrade to Android’s 2.3 operating system version, Gingerbread. The single core processor is a Snapdragon MSM 8255 1.0 GHz model with 768 MB of RAM to support it.

And unlike most phones 4G, HTC Inspire 4G offer only a rear-facing camera, facing the front camera for video chat. The rear facing camcorder delivers 8 megapixel camera with dual LED flash, face detection, special effects, geo-tagging and auto focus, and offer the ability to record video in 720P HD.

Expandable to 32 GB of memory, The Inspire 4G offers a microSD slot, microUSB port, a DLNA wireless video out, stereo Bluetooth and Wi-Fi wireless connectivity. Google delivers popular preloaded apps with Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Picasa and YouTube, and support for Adobe Flash Media Player is also on board.

Inspiron One 2320 Touch

A refresh of the Inspiron 2300 series, we now have Sandy Bridge inside Dell's all-in-one touch PC. Propped up by a clear perspex stand it does little to stand out from other all-in-one PCs.

At 23 inches and with a resolution of 1920x1080, it's also rather thick at 68mm. It's rather surprising then to see the huge external power brick that comes with it — we would have thought externalising the power supply would have dropped the thickness significantly.

The big JBL sticker on the front hints that it may come with better sound than the norm, but sadly it's an unfulfilled promise; the speakers here aren't great, merely hitting the passable mark. Trebles in particular are too high, with cymbals sounding oddly compressed.

The touch technology used is infrared, meaning things can get a bit confused if you get more than two fingers in on the action. Sometimes it gets confused with even two, not understanding whether you're trying to rotate an image or resize it.

The included wireless keyboard and mouse are decent enough, but not worthy of writing home about. Vexingly, though, there's no receiver built into the 2320; you'll have to use the included USB receiver, consequently taking up one of the USB ports.


The included Windows Media Center remote, however, is surprisingly good for a bundled peripheral. Our only complaint would be the proximity of the up and down buttons to the OK button — resulting in more than just the occasional mistype.

Ports are plentiful, with our review sample hosting six USB 2.0 ports, an antenna jack, VGA out, gigabit Ethernet, 3.5mm out, SD card reader, microphone and headphone jacks, and a jack for a remote IR receiver.

Dell tells us this is expanded for the final version, which will also get HDMI, VGA and composite in, and S/PDIF out, significantly increasing the utility.

Our review sample was equipped with a 2.5GHz Core i5 2400s, 6GB RAM, a 1TB hard drive, TV tuner and GeForce GT525M. Courtesy of the i5 CPU included it also supports switchable graphics, but given the lack of battery in the unit we fail to see the point of switching back to the much less powerful Intel HD Graphics processor. Disturbingly, we couldn't update the graphics driver using Nvidia's official packages, as the installer claimed that we didn't have a supported card. We're always worried when we get a unit that only accepts custom vendor drivers, as vendors are typically quite bad at keeping things updated.

Putting it through our performance tests, 3DMark06 returned a decent 7595, while PCMark05 returned 8022, indicating the latest Inspiron One should be capable of medium detail in fairly recent games, and more than capable of performing office tasks.

All in one Desktop

We can't say that touch on the desktop has ever appealed to us — but as a simple all-in-one, the Inspiron One does just fine.

Nokia 603 Symbian phone with 1GHz single-core processor

The Nokia 603 is a compact but quite powerful smartphone that aims to provide very good value for money.
Nokia 603 This is a Symbian Belle device, running Nokia's latest in-house operating system. Symbian Belle is a much more usable and visually pleasing OS than its predecessors, and Nokia fans with older handsets may well enjoy this latest offering. However, Nokia is moving away from Symbian and will be concentrating on Windows more in the future, which seems a bit of a shame.

On the front is a medium sized 3.5" 360 x 640 pixel capacitive touchsreen display, on the back is a 5 megapixel camera capable of 720p HD video capture. Inside is a 1 GHz processor plus 2GB of internal flash memory and a microSD slot.

As with most modern smartphones, the Nokia 603 supports GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth and has 3.5G connectivity. One key feature with the 603 is NFC support, here extended to allow single-tap pairing with a compatible Bluetooth headset, although NFC applications are still in their infancy.

The Nokia 603 also has a multimedia player, FM radio, social networking support, a pre-loaded copy of Angry Birds, a web browser and all the usual applications plus a large variety of applications available for download from the Nokia Store.
Nokia 603 This handset weighs 110 grams and measures 114 x 57 x 12.7mm. The BP-3L battery is quoted as giving up to 7 hours talktime and 20 days standby time on 3G. The Nokia 603 is available in either black or white on the front with interchangeable coloured covers for the back in black, white, fuchsia, green, yellow and blue.

Perhaps the best bit about the Nokia 603 is the price, just €200 before tax and subsidy. Although the 603 isn't the most powerful smartphone on the market, it certainly offers a lot of features for the money.

Overall, this is a nice handset at an attractive price. Loyal Nokia fans will probably be pleased by this combination, and at this price it would also make an ideal first smartphone. Nokia say that the 603 should be available by the end of the year.

HTC Desire HD

We saw our first images of the Desire HD over the weekend, and just as day follows night, video leaks typically follow pictorial ones. You'll already be familiar with the mooted specs -- including 720p HD video recording, WVGA screen resolution, and an 8 megapixel imager -- so what else does this handset tour reveal? Well, the family resemblance to HTC's other 4.3-inchers is inevitably apparent to see, with the Desire HD sticking its headphone port at the bottom just like the HD2, and employing a dual LED flash à la the EVO 4G. Beyond that, it looks like yet another well
rounded device from the prolific Taiwanese phone maker -- hurry past the break to see it for yourself.

Dell Studio One 19 Desktop all-in-one PC

Dell has a new all-in-one PC, the Studio One 19 Desktop, which looks rather fetching in its all-white version. (The stand is a bit on the swoopy-doopy side, but I still like it.)

Prices vary, as is the Dell way, but I’d consider the $800 model the basic entry point as it adds a multi-touch screen. Even the $1,000 model won’t be much of a gaming rig with a laptop-class


Nvidia GeForce 9400, as well as a laptop-class 1,366 by 768 pixel monitor across the line.
