Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 Review - CNET Australia
Wednesday, May 28th, 2008CNET Australia reviews the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 and writes, “We’ve been talking iPhone killers for the last 18 months, crossing less impressive phones off our lists as each came and went without making a dent on the Australian mobile landscape. Sony Ericsson’s Xperia X1 stands a chance to change all of that; forget a dent on the landscape, the X1 looks set to leave a meteoric crater. If the X1 can live up to the hype we’ll be asking if the next generation of iphone is the X1 killer.”

If you happen to fall under the category of a “Japanese Geek Teen”, then the Sega Toys DigiPod is just the thing for you. It comes with a 1.5″ LCD display housed within a body that measures 78mm x 57mm x 29mm, making it perfect to tote around in your pocket, secretly sharing all your most private photos with a trusted friend, away from the peering eyes of the world. Photos can be transferred using a mini USB connection located at the side of the DigiPod. At $30 a pop, I don’t really see the importance of such a device as most cell phones these days already come with a screen size larger than 1.5″ and do a pretty bang up job displaying photos captured via a high resolution digital camera.
I don’t know whether to laugh or to cry, but Chromosomal Laboratories will be offering a truly unique Father’s Day gift by giving up to five free paternity tests rated at a $290 value. Those who are interested (women in particular who think that their best friend’s son looks suspiciously like their own hubby, as well as men who have been cheating behind their wives’ backs) can contact Chromosomal Laboratories by June 13th in order to be in the running for the drawing. Five fathers in total will be chosen at random to receive a free home paternity test kit. 
I seriously wonder what the folks at Motorola are doing, as releasing phones such as the W755 over Verizon Wireless isn’t going to win them any points with the consumers anytime soon, and it looks as though time is running out for the Big M as they suffer from their own success - the RAZR. It has been a fair number of years since the RAZR hit the market, and since then many variations as well as newer models based on the original design have rolled out, but none of them truly embodied the spirit of the original RAZR, causing Motorola to lose market share to its other rivals while seeing its stock price plummet just like how the greenback is compared to other major currencies around the world. If you don’t think that the W755 won’t be able to save Motorola, why not head on after the jump to read up on its rather mediocre specifications list. 
We had a pretty good idea that not only was this whole “Biggest Drawing in the World” business fake, but also impossible. First, we were skeptical that DHL could make deliveries based on coordinate instructions. Then, we determined — with little effort — that the little campaign was a DHL ad. Now we have a straight-up admission from artist Erik Nordenenkar and DHL that entire thing was fictional. Appearing at the bottom of Erik’s site — after the fact and millions of hits — are the following words: “This is fictional work. DHL did not transport the GPS at any time.” Meanwhile, DHL offered that this was an innocent college project and they were happy to let Nordenenkar film in their warehouse, use their name, and make false claims regarding the whole shenanigan. So, there you have it. The videos, briefcase, DHL receipts — all spam. Move along.
