This is another cool phone that I wish I could get my hands on.

I was browsing for cool new phones and AC recommended this phone to me and I love it! It’s like getting an iPhone but not that pricey. Check it out - LG KM900 ARENA.

I was walking across the street from my workplace when I saw this big ad from a computer store. It’s the new ASUS Eee PC but it’s the touch screen type. Another gadget to look forward to.

Does it all at a Touch

• Intuitive and interactive touchscreen PC
• Versatile mobility anywhere at home
• Connect to the Internet with ease, anytime, anywhere
• Near-silent operation at just 26 dB

I’ve read many negative reviews about this gadget. Too bad my sister bought this before I could tell her. Oh well.

Those of you clamoring for an Apple tablet may finally get what you’ve been waiting for. According to a MacDailyNews source who leaked wireless iTunes a week before its official announcement, we can expect a sort of “MacBook touch” in October. And the source wasn’t light on the details, either:

Think MacBook screen, possibly a bit smaller, in glass with iPhone-like, but fuller-featured multi-touch. Gesture library. Full Mac OS X. This is why they bought P.A. Semi. Possibly with Immersion’s haptic tech. Slot-loading SuperDrive. Accelerometer. GPS. Pretty expensive to produce initially, but sold at “low” price that will reduce margins. Apple wants to move these babies. And move they will. This is some sick shit. App Store-compatible, able to run Mac apps, too. By October at the latest. Read here.

This is so cool!
