Alarm clock is something we need daily and last time I reviewed the Puzzle Alarm Clock and the runnable clocky. Since we are so attached to computers, and every computer have USB ports, someone came up with a USB washing machine alarm clock - I know it’s weird.

In the centre drum area you can see the LCD screen which displays the time.

You may wonder what’s next after the Touch Diamond? Well, HTC unveils the HTC Touch Pro! (Next Generation of the infamous HTC Touch) It sure is another hot smartphone considering the specifications crammed in! Some folk claim that this is better than the recently launched Diamond, (should be better) but I’ll let you draw your own conclusions. All I can say is, this is one highly desirable handset. Notice this has a Qwerty keyboard where the Diamond is lack of.

Seagate confirmed that they will enter the SSD market but maintain its development of the traditional hard drives. In fact, they will sell those 2TB HDDs in early 2009. CEO Bill Watkins has described the upcoming solid-state drives as intended for enterprise use, the only market segment, he claims is willing and able to stump up the premium.

DigiTimes has it that HTC has already shipped its first shipment of over 10,000 Touch Diamond mobiles to Hong Kong CSL, which has consequently sent our saliva glands into overdrive. The report continues on to say that deliveries to European / Asia-Pacific operators should get going in June, though no further details were mentioned. Meanwhile, North Americans are left to weep softly to keep from embarrassment.

This beauty appears in the movie of Iron Man which can go head to head with the Porsche and TT. Audi has already managed to work some LEDs into a few of its cars (concepts and in production), but the automaker has gone all out with its latest Audi R8, which employs LEDs for seemingly every lighting function. That includes the 24-LED running lamps the R8 had before, along with some brand LED high and low beam headlights, and LED turn signals, which add up to some 54 LEDs in all. Driving this car will be shined at night! Given the prices that single LED bulbs demand these days, it should come as no surprise that this is quite the pricey option, with it adding a full €3,590 (or about $5,560) to the R8’s already lofty sticker price. It’s a must upgrade if you got the cash

When comes to UMPC, most of you think the Asus Eee PC? Well, Dell wants to jump onto the mini UMPC bandwagon as well, with a mini Inspiron (not the official name as there is no announcement from Dell just yet) being the fruit of their labors. There’s no word on what operating system will this diminutive computer run on, nor how much it will cost, but it does feature a trio of USB 2.0 ports, a memory card reader, VGA out, and an Ethernet port. To satisfy both parties, Dell should offer both Windows and Linux where Linux have lower price tag. Do you think this will be Atom-powered, and just how much internal memory will it hold?

I got an email today with this article about Alcoholic Housewife and her Eee PC, it might be interesting to share with my readers. The Register Hardware claims to have spotted the future face of the Eee PC, the one who will replace the Spring Break Beach Bunny. Behold! The 19-year-old ALCOHOLIC HOUSEWIFE! Is this the new face of America’s favorite cheap laptop?

Claimed as yet another iPhone killer by Tech evangelists and bloggers,the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 has on incredibly high-resolution(800*480), 3-inch VGA touch screen display. With a unique arc-slider design,the X1 feature a new desktop GUI called ‘Experia panels’, a nine-panel interface that’s eye candy on the high-resolution display. These panels are finger-friendly marvels that permit access to applications running on the phone via the home screen. Navigation is possible either by touch, arc-sliding QWERTY Keypad, 4-way joypad and an “optical joystick”.

The X1 also has loads of other features like quadband GSM as well was UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA network support, WiFi, aGPS, microSD(400 MB on phone memory default) and of course, Window Mobile 6.
