A memoir with aluminum housing, protective cap for the connector and a size of 87 × 22 × 12 mm, rather large but I remember the first USB 2.0 flash drives and the market, quite a few years ago. It stands to reason that miniaturization will reach in the near future.

The USB 3.0 PQI memories have the interesting characteristic of being compatible with USB 2.0, so if you buy one now can use it while we update our computer with USB 3.0 ports. And it is precisely this is the big stick of PQI, which like all products with the new standard submitted to date come too soon. But at least they arrive, it is very important.

PQI also have to market the 2.5-inch external drive PQI HDD H566, which has been submitted but have not yet made official final data.

Behind him are two other phones of the same manufacturer, the Xperia X10, which will arrive next year and show us which has been the approach they have done with Android, and the Xperia X2, it also comes with Windows Mobile.

In both cases, the operating system is preinstalled on Windows 7 and the screen is ten inches and a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels.

Following the announcement of the new Intel Atom, it clearly did not take too long for manufacturers to see how officers did their ultraportable equipped with them. The Dell Inspiron Mini 10 is the first one.

This new version of this range of computers includes the Intel Atom N450 1.6 GHz, which recall is the lowest power Pinetrail family. To this we add the HD Crystal Broadcom platform, which enables the playback of video in high resolution.

For this, the 10.1-inch screen lets you choose between resolutions of 1024 x 600 pixels and 1366 × 768 pixels, the latter being suitable for HD content. We remain, yes, the same 1GB of RAM, hard disk while we can choose between 160 GB and 250 GB.
