Sony has ushered in its new “Spring Summer Collection 2009” of high
quality consumer electronics, along with a new group-wide philosophy of
“make.believe”, where the spirit of creativity and imagination can make

easy to believe this new strategy will be quite a success!

Although the new iPod Touch was touted to come with a camera, Apple
surprised us all by including a video-only camera (and a host of other

millions of existing and new customers.

It’s been an interesting few days at Microsoft’s annual Tech.Ed event,
with this year naturally focusing on all of Microsoft’s big guns –
Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, virtualisation, software

netbooks!

256GB, or a quarter of a terabyte, is now available from Flash

Blending the “S-Class User Interface” seen on the LG Arena with an 8

Stung by criticism that LG’s iPhone-clones didn’t offer an app store,

After the curious “chk chk boom” Kings Cross shooting commentary video
that a Channel Nine Australia cameraman captured, which first
enthralled online video viewers because of its content and then because
the commentary turned out to wholly imaginary, “ninemsn” has decided to
re-launch its video site – presumably to ensure video viewers continue
their “chk chk boom” trajectory growth!

Presumably still months before any Apple “MacBook iTablet” will appear,
TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington’s “CrunchPad” will go on sale,

it’s sure to be very quickly hacked!
