The good: The high-end Dell XPS 14z is an attractive, powerful 14-inch laptop built into a 13-inch body, with plenty of configuration options, including decent graphics. The bad: Even with the approximate footprint of a 13-inch laptop, this still feels thick and heavy, especially compared with the new generation of Ultrabooks. The bottom line: The Dell XPS 14z is a nicely designed, well-built 14-inch laptop, but the XPS "z" design works better on the 15-inch version, leaving this model feeling chunky.

10.1’’ Connected Android™ tablet with capacitive multitouch screen
The ARCHOS 101 internet tablet is a tablet who’s choice you’ll be proud of. You’ll have in your hands the best of the highly desirable Android™ technology with a large, high-resolution 10.1’’ screen, a weight of 480 g, and a thinness of just 12 mm. Beyond containing your window into the Internet and your HD multimedia, your device is completely customizable with a world of apps to make it your personal tablet.
The 101 has a capacitive 1024 x 768 touch-screen, a 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 processor and a host of ports and radios normally associated with a netbook: HDMI, a microphone, a USB port, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, a front-facing VGA webcam and accelerometers. It even has a kickstand.
As for size, it comes in slimmer and lighter than the iPad, at 12mm thick (the iPad is 13.4mm) and weighs 480 grams (the iPad weighs 680-grams). Best of all the features, though, is the price: $300 for the 8GB model and $350 for the 16GB. That’s $150 cheaper than the 16GB iPad (this comparison is apt as the 101 has no 3G option).
But it comes down to the software and battery life. We don’t have any reports on the power use, but apparently the scaled-up cellphone interface doesn’t work so well. Brad Linder at Lilliputing got his hands on the 101 and said that “thumb-typing in portrait mode is reasonably comfortable, I found text entry in landscape mode to be a bit awkward.” The 101 runs the latest version of Android, v2.2, which is theoretically capable of running Flash.
I wonder if, in the rush to get iPad rivals to market, the manufacturers are missing the point. Touch-screen tablets have been around for years, but it took a brand-new interface design and a big-ass battery before anyone actually started to buy them. And remember, it took Apple years to design it. Until the proper, purpose-built tablets (like HP’s expected WebOS tablets) finally appear, it looks like we’re getting the tablet PCs from the 1990s all over again, only with smaller cases and without Windows.

According to CNET apple goes ahead and releases the
iPhone 4S.
Now that everybody's gotten over that development (or at least most
people have), I have no choice but to go ahead and update this
most-wanted list because, well, a lot of you are already looking past
the 4S as you continue to hold out for the true iPhone 5.
So, what's new? Well, with the release of the iPhone 4S, Apple did
include some features I was hoping would be in the iPhone 5, so the list
is now shorter: it's been culled from 20 down to 15 features, although
that could change in the coming months. I've also thrown in a couple new
items, one involving "wireless" charging. (Note: I originally posted
this column the day after the iPhone 4 launched, which is why you see a
lot of comments dating back to June of last year--but they're fun to
read).
As a reminder, the 15 items in the list are ordered from least important
to most in a reverse countdown. I've also included what I think are the
odds of Apple actually implementing each request. As always, feel free
to agree or disagree with me and make your own suggestions (and to post
your own ordered wish list).
Almost two months ago we were promised the release of the native Skype application for the iPad. Well, it was a success… almost!
The Skype app was released today but, after a very
short time, it was removed – the explanation was that its release was
“premature”. Yet, we have been assured that the removal would be
temporary.
Even if the application was quickly removed, user had enough time to try it and give feedback. So, here it is:
- The application works over Wi-Fi and 3G and it also makes possible the chat during the video call
- Conversations are clean from the audio point of view and video is smooth, with few freeze-frames
- Of course, the main advantage for the conversation is the iPad’s big screen, which allow the conversations to be “seen” more clearly and very well defined
- Among the person you have the video call with, you can also see yourself in the same window
- You can use the iPad both in portrait or landscape mode
- There is also a dial option of your Skype Online Number
At the end, Skype promised to come back soon with a new application’s UI for the iPad – will we be amazed once again?
Announcement of the launching – 22nd of September, in UK – brings OnLive officially in Europe! The event will take place at the Eurogamer Expo, in London, and it promised to reveal a package of over 100 new games for games devourers.
Let’s take a short look of what does cloud gaming actually mean for OnLive:
- Easy access from anywhere
- Gamers can play from any device: PC, mac, TV or any tablet
- Users don’t have to hold an up-to-date system configuration to play a “last generation game”, because their system is just an interface of the game.
The game is actually played in real time, on the OnLive’s powerful servers, within its datacenters. It will be needed an OnLive system which adapts games to run on the TVs
- There is access to free instant demo-games for you to play or for you to watch as others play, with the possibility of voice chat
- No more game-downloading, no further need of disks or any other special hardware
- Facebook integration.
Broadband is a key-factor regarding video quality and the required speed is 2Mbps.
The issue that came out in USA was also raised in UK – the delay. This is caused by lag and latency, which was officially recognized by the CEO of OnLive (Steve Perlman) to be 35-40ms, though in the US there were found played games at 200ms latency.
If you want to play a game, you can just rent it for a short time, buy it for unlimited play time, or pay an amount of money for 3 days, 5 days or a month of game access. But if you can make it to the event, OnLive promised to give thousands of Game Systems to the participants for free.
