Pocket Surfer 2
The mobile web browser from Datawind it is very thin, lightweight and fits your pocket.
You can use it for web surfing and the navigation is better than on your mobile phone as the display is large enough at 5 inches and 640 x 240 pixel resolution to show web pages perfectly clear with full graphics and Java, wirelessly, and via an ergonomic QWERTY keyboard on which you can type as much as you please even in low light conditions, thanks to the backlight technology.
Besides this cool design, Pocket Surfer 2 comes with built-in GPRS modem and is powered by a Li-Ion battery which lasts up to 5 days in stand-by mode or 4 hours of operating time.
You can use the pocket PC navigator for Internet navigation, writing and reading emails, update your social network profile, or read the latest news, all these from your palm.
The mobile Internet handheld is compatible with all networks and displays a web page in less than 7 seconds.
It is available at $322.2 on Iwantoneofthose.com with 20 hours of free surfing every month for the first year.
HP 2133 Mini-Note PC
It’s HP’s turn to launch a mini portable PC for students through the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC.
This model will be affordable at a starting price under $500 and equipped with the right components for the educational sector, such as wireless connectivity, multimedia tools, communication applications, data security, and a lightweight and small form factor at 2.5 lbs.

A student can use the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC for Internet connectivity, email messaging, Instant Messaging, blogging, watch videos, web conferences, still-image capture, use VoIP, and connect with other Bluetooth-compatible devices.
HP covered it in an anodized aluminum shell to be light, added an ergonomic full QWERTY keyboard with HP DuraKeys, and a large, scratch resistant 8.9-inch WXGA display.
When it is moved suddenly or suffers an unexpected shock the HP 3D DriveGuard sends a signal to shut down the hard drive using a three-axis digital accelerometer chip.
You can choose either a 3-cell battery or a 6-cell version for the mini notebook that will be available soon this month.
The Golden Keyboard

You probably can’t afford the $560,000 gold desktop computer case but if you like this metal you can try to get a ZIP-ANG keyboard which features 86 gold-plated keys.
It is 19 mm thin QWERTY type, uses USB and PS/2 interfaces, and is compatible with Windows operating systems up to Vista.

This cool gadget is handmade and affordable too as I think that $214.21 doesn’t sound expensive for something made of gold.
I don’t know, you may try it and tell us how it feels like to type on gold.
Sporty Protection For 3G Nanos

Did you miss iPod accessories we talked about here some time ago? I don't know about you, but I know I did, and after all, it's more than just spending some money for another useless piece of plastic, leather, or other material - it's about keeping your favorite music player safe, and that's what really matters, after all. Today, I'll tell you about a silicone case for the 3G iPod Nano, coming from GizMac, under the "DuraSport" label...
As you can see in the image above, the GizMac DuraSport case is a discrete case, so it won't shadow your player's beauty at all. In fact, each DuraSport case comes in two different colors, so you shouldn't get bored with this case anytime soon. Other than that, you get a clear polycarbonate shield for the front side of your iPod Nano, while the silicone skin will take care of the rest of your player, including the scroll wheel.
For now, the price of the DuraSport is $30, but you won't simply get the case for your money, because the package also includes an armband, a carabinier clip, as well as a lanyard, so you can secure your Nano the way you like it. If you want to know more about these cases, or even order one, feel free to visit the official product page, here. That's it, folks!

The iPhone In China

In Pearl Research's study, interesting facts emerged, and I will only quote a few:
- Obviously, the high price tag of the iPhone is the main reason for disinterest in purchasing it, as well as Apple's lack of experience in the mobile phones field, but...
- ...around 68 percent of those intereviewed heard of Apple's mobile already.
- Leaving aside "trendiness" and "design," quoted by women as reasons to grab the iPhone, and "utility," quoted by men, it seems the ease to use the Internet on the iPhone won't make many Chinese users go "Wow," because local carriers have "WOW!!!" prices for such services.
- At last, almost 90 percent of the iPod owners have shown their interest in the iPhone, so Apple managed to have some loyal followers in China, too!
Unfortunately, considering the $200-$300 iPhone clones available on the local market, Apple is going to face a really serious challenge, once they release the iPhone in China, but I guess we should wait and see what happens, and when.
Updates And 3.5G iPhone

Well, since none of the updates issued by Apple in the last 24 hours doesn't come with any accurate information, I'll simply tell you what is this all about, and give you the links to the official update pages. After all, you know it already - "stability improvements" and "other issues," that's what Apple usually says for its most updates...
Being given the above, here you have the latest updates: iMac EFI Firmware Update 1.3, MacBook EFI Firmware Update 1.2, MacBook Air EFI Firmware Update 1.0, MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.5, and the Aluminum Keyboard Update.
At last, there's the iPhone SDK Beta 3, available here. This time, it's only a 1.4GB download, compared to over 2GB, the previous version, and an examination of this SDK has shown that code in this software development kit suggests the next iPhone will have "3.5G" HDSPA functionality, including a bunch of advanced features, and a maximum connection speed of 7.2 Megabits per second. As usual, Apple didn't comment anything yet, so we'll have to wait and see - June isn't that far, after all...
