Sony Ericsson's pretty red camera phone
Sony Ericsson has never been one to shy away from the high-powered camera phone. Its Cyber-shot series, which includes the Sony Ericsson K850i that we reviewed earlier this year, offers a solid set of handsets that excell both at taking pictures and making calls. One of its newest Cyber-shot models in the series is the Sony Ericsson C902, which we just reviewed. Sony Ericsson introduced the C902 at the GSMA World Congress last February.
Though we've had to wait a long time to review it, the C902 is an appealing camera phone with a sleek design and a loaded … Read more
Mercedes releases boring iPhone app for exciting car
Mercedes-Benz AMG is the next automaker to join the battle for customers' attention in the Apple iTunes App Store. Except while the other automakers have built apps that actually do something aside from advertise cars (for example, Audi's game and Ford's photo editor), Mercedes-Benz's app does nothing more than showcase the C63 AMG.
The main menu of the application features four options: Video, Photos, Sounds, Specs, and Find a Dealer.
Disappointingly, the Videos section is essentially a list of four videos that stream from Mercedes' Web site. Sorry, iPod Touch owners, this means that you'll have … Read more

The new hard drives include two models: the StoreJet 25C and the StoreJet 25M, both of which are the company's most popular external storage products.
Both models are based on 2.5-inch 5400rpm SATA internal hard drives and feature USB-only connection interfaces with bus-powered capability. These drives are compact enough. However, … Read more

Green news harvest: Tapping electricity in trees, solar-coated steel
Solar-painted steel could electrify buildings - Renewable Energy WorldA Welsh lab is developing photovoltaic coatings for steel, which could lead to buildings with energy-generating walls. Compact fluorescent bulbs may pollute more than incandescents - Environmental Science & TechnologyCalifornians and others in regions where utilities offer a mix of renewable energy might do better by the environment to keep their incandescent lightbulbs rather than switch to mercury-laced CFLs, suggest Yale researchers. Tiny sensors tap tree power to prevent fires - MSNBCMIT researchers harnessed the electrical currents within trees to … Read more
Intel Atom rival ships; larger Netbooks coming?
Are Netbooks ripe to be resized? Via Technologies thinks so. The Intel-compatible chipmaker says larger Netbooks are on the way.
