This is the new flagship product for Archos, the 9 PC Tablet and it will come out packing a Windows 7 OS. It has an 8.9-inch touchscreen and is powered by a 1.2Ghz Atom Z515 processor and has DVB-T.

The new user interface dubbed “Magazine” by iRiver will have another hardware showcasing it. The iRiver NV Classic seems unperturbed by the new iPhone 3G S, which features a built-in compass and turn-by-turn navigation. Theoretically, an all-in-one computer like the iPhone can drive a device like the iRiver Classic out of business, but perhaps drivers [...]

Personally, I’m not at all surprised when a review came out pronouncing that the Nokia N85 is indeed better than the N96.

You’ve heard of cellphones with dual SIMs but here’s a cellphone with triple SIMS. From the outside, it looks just like an ordinary OEM smartphone but this one has room for three SIMs inside. Babiken has been known to make extraordinary phones like this one, so I suppose coming out with a three-SIM phone isn’t [...]
