i-mate Ultimate 8150 continued

The Ultimate 8150's mini-joystick is offset rather than being centrally located under the screen. It's embedded between the 2, 5, 3 and 6 keys and does not protrude greatly from its surroundings. There's also a scroll wheel on the left edge of the device.

The Ultimate 8150 is made of a black, rubberised material that's easy to grip but uninspiring to look at. The screen is a relatively small 2.6in. unit with VGA (640x480) resolution, and is remarkably sharp and clear.

The phone is a quad-band GSM with GPRS, EDGE, 3G and HSDPA support. There's a front-facing camera for video calling and a 2-megapixel camera on the back for stills and video. Bluetooth and 802.11b/g Wi-Fi are both integrated.

This is a chunky device measuring 118.5mm tall, 60.5mm wide and 15.5mm thick. It weighs 152g.

Apple MacBook Air: a first look

The MacBook Air is not quite an ultraportable, but it is exceptionally thin. Retaining the same 13.3in. display as the current MacBook line, it tapers from 1.94cm thick to just 0.4cm. Apple calls it the 'world's thinnest notebook'.

Put simply, what is the compelling reason to pay ~$200 extra for an Eee with Windows XP? A Windows Eee won't come with any useful applications and you'll have to buy anti-virus software to boot. The truth about low cost computing is that nobody really cares whether the machine is running Windows or Linux as long as its cheap, its easy to use and it works.
