Angstrom G2 portable fuel cell

We are all waiting for the first fuel cell gadgets to come out but instead of a fuel cell powered phone or mini-pc the first fuel cell gadget many of us own will be something like the Angstrom G2 portable fuel cell.

It has 8 fuel cell modules that put out a total of 2W and it can be used to recharge any device that can be powered through USB.

No word on price but it is a safe bet to say we will see fuel cell rechargers like this sometime in 2009.

Microsoft has started playing nice with the non-profit OLPC (one laptop per child) who plan on providing $100 laptops to schools in developing countries.

In a test bed starting month the laptops will be available as a dual boot with both the current "sugar" operating system and Windows XP/office. How is this possible on a machine with just a 1GB flash memory? Easy: they cheat by putting XP on a 2GB SD card.

Sony A350 Limited Edition

Sometimes (ok, quite often) we just don't understand Sony.

They just announced a limited edition of their $550 A350 14.2 megapixel entry-level digital SLR.

The limited edition costs $850 so what wondrous enhancements do you get for that extra $400?

It's a champagne color.

Yep that's it, $400 for a lick of paint.

aigo mid

UMPCFever in Hong Kong has got their hands on an aigo MID (which they say is the same device that will be branded in the US as the Gigabyte M528).

The aigo MID has an 800MHz Intel Atom processor, a touchscreen 4." 800x480 pixel LCD screen, GPS (not working on this review model), 3.5G HSDPA, 512MB RAM, and a 4GB SSD.

Sounds like they are just getting started reviewing it so we look forward to reading more of their thoughts, especially when they get around to attempting to install XP on it.
