BlackBerry Torch 9860
 BlackBerryTorch 9880 CARRYING THE TORCH FOR TOUCHSCREENSIf anyone ever tells you that BlackBerrys are useless without QWERTY keypads, smack them around the face with a 9860 and then sit them down for a lesson in touchscreen typing.

QWERTY is dead; long live the touchscreen.As hot as….The Human Torch’s underpants

i PHONE 5 RUMERS
A boost in power and a slimmer chassis are a dead cert, but an unexpected ‘one more thing’ would be killer
By the time you read this, Steve Jobs may have already unveiled the iPhone 5, rendering our hard work here of mostly academic interest. Oh well. Here’s our iPhone 5 wish list, and how likely we figure each feature will be. Apple’s design ethos is all about unity, so many expect the iPhone 5 to follow the steps of the iPad 2 and MacBook Air by slimming way down, Sources suggest a return to aluminum for the chassis, with the troublesome antenna moving to the A

Elan Passport Folio case for the iPad 2

The Elan Passport also has a tab that secures the cover when it is closed. Also included on the Elan Pas

Robot from Japan does human speech
Robots are really big in Japan as well as South Korea, as societies in both countries tend to adopt the use of robots around the home and at work far more than other countries – or at least, that is the impression that I get judging by blog posts which we filter through each day. Just how far and closely intertwined will robots be in our lives eventually? Well, they are certainly taking big steps towards being more realistic, leading us down the Uncanny Valley road headlong at speed. Trust the Japanese to churn out a robot which is capable of replicating human speech – yes, real human speech instead of synthesized audio. Complete with moving lips as well, now how about that?
