Lenovo NetBook
I finally got a hold of the Lenovo s10e, I must say it is a wonderful device. Very portable and light, very good for Blogging, messaging and editing power points and/or word documents on the go. A great easy to use NetBook, the battery life was pretty good, I was able to use it in good chunks through out the day and it lasted me all day. Quite happy with it. Will recommend if your looking for a NetBook. Will see how well it runs with windows 7. I wouldn’t be surprised if it runs even better.
HTC Touch Pro2
Great looking device wish i could get my hands on one. Playing around with it the HTC UI works great almost never seeing the old Windows Mobile format. Currently T-Mobile, Sprint and at&t as the HTC Tilt2, carry this phone. I would like to see the Windows Mob Marketplace grow a bit more. To have more diverse selection of apps. A very cool device check out more.
Original XBox Live Service Closing
Microsoft announces that On April 15th, they will be pulling the plug on the XBox Live service for Xbox games. This means that ALL Origianl Xbox games, including thous that are playable on the XBox 360 will not be able to go online. This includes games that have been downloaded through XBox live on the 360. This is going to upset plenty of Halo 2 players, but Microst says they will gain more flexibility with Live by doing this.
HTC HD2
I first came across this during Microsoft’s CES 2010 keynote. Slated to come to T-Mobile, from what I’ve seen it looks great. A nice slick design along with a good looking bright screen, and a great looking interface. I’ve been looking for a device that would take me away from my iPhone and this may be it. Don’t get me wrong I love my iPhone but I want something new and different. I must say that Microsoft sucked me back in with there Windows 7, so I’m hoping this device will do the same. I cant wait to get this in my hands.

Current Video Game Consoles Turning into Laptops
This discovery is very interesting indeed. Transforming a Console into a laptop brings up many questions: Where do you begin? What does it take to accomplish this experiment? And so forth. These images in particular are of the PS3 and the Xbox 360. This PS3 laptop was created by Ben Heck while the Xbox was done by Collin (CollinE as known on Ben Heck’s forum). You may be able to find these products on Ebay if you look hard enough. Look them up, definitely worth seeing what it’s capable of.
Video Games going beyond their “limits”
See this image on the left? A video game called “Unreal Engine 3″. Nice graphics right? Looks like something you would see on your PC, or Xbox, maybe even your Playstation 3. Which one do you think its for?? Well if you chose one of those, you were WRONG.. this is astonishingly for none other than your ‘friendly mobile-phone’ – The iPhone 3G or their MP3 player – The 3rd Generation iPod Touch. It’s pretty amazing we must say and really opens up eyes. It really makes you wonder where this will be in another few years to a decade. Apparently this is only a demo of the actual thing but there goes your first look. Click Below for some actual gameplay on the iPod Touch. On that note, enjoy!

Twitter App on the Zune HD
Loved using your Zune HD?? Did you hate tweeting through its web browser? Have no fear, as Microsoft recently have experimented with Zune HD’s very first attempt at a Twitter application and is now released for everyone currently with a Zune HD. Now we know, when there’s twitter.. there’s facebook. Facebook has promised to have an app done for the Zune HD as well so be on the look for it. There’s no release date made for it at this time but its assumed to be around really soon, don’t quote us though. Let the fun begin! Warning, as some of you may become twitter-happy (of course if you want to have enough battery-life for most of your day you’d be sufficient).
Microsoft’s huge Zune update flaw causes confusion towards ‘Fans’
Yes unfortunately for Microsoft they suffered from a huge update glitch that apparently they weren’t prepared for and in the end cost them several Zune fans. Some of us are actually users of Microsoft’s Zune like myself, as I own their 
30gb Zune Player and it just so happens that I was impacted by this update and suffered for more than a month. But getting back to the update, I’ll break down the specifics: It’s a Zune 3.2 Firmware update that was suppose to improve all non-zune HD’s, in this case it would be the Zune 4gb, Zune 8gb, Zune 16gb, Zune 30gb, Zune 80gb and the Zune 120gb. However, mostly for the zune 30gb users, the update may end up going left.. why? Well the update has 4 steps and when it gets to step 3 it decides to bring an error message each time you reset the update.
Pulling a random stunt to find ways around the update, like removing the sync-cable during the update or resetting the Zune device, can cause your Zune to become a brick. It only shows a black screen and if you get lucky it may eventually show up on your screen after 5-10 minutes. Worst part of it is you can not use any features other than listen to SOME of your music (some display errors) and videos which they both tend to freeze from time to time, and you can no longer sync your Zune device to your software. Many former fans have called Microsoft to inform them of this problem but they will attempt to charge you to get it fixed. But the good news is, YOU can fix this problem: Restoring your entire Zune. It’s the only thing that’s worked, even though you lose everything you had but hopefully you saved everything on your computer.. otherwise you’ll have to start from scratch. If you were one of the lucky ones who were successful with this update, good for you. But for future reference, be careful with similar situations.
XBox 360 Ban Wave
Many gamers have for the past few day have woken up to there 360 being banned from XBox Live. Microsoft has figured out away to detect modified system and were able to ban over 1 Million XBox’s. The strangest thing is that the consoles were banned but the gamertags weren’t. Which makes you wonder if this was just to increase console seals.
