Digital Life #69: Light my fire
Strike a match, the Kindle is coming to town. We've also got more information on that Sony X-series Vaio and the Windows Phone, as well as weigh in on the Nobel Prize for Physics (because, we're physicists and all).
Sony Ericsson Satio
There are a few trade-offs, but overall we're very impressed. The Satio sports a sharp, responsive touchscreen and is possibly the year's best camera phone.
Reviews

Samsung N110
An easy-to-use netbook with a long battery life, but there are cheaper options.
-
Nokia N86 8MP
There's a lot to like about the N86 8MP, but it's hard to fall in love with it too. While it's well made with good features, it looks and feels like a phone from several years ago.
-
Sony Ericsson W508
The W508 is a great phone for listening to music and playing games, but it's yet another Walkman phone from Sony Ericsson that doesn’t really standout from the pack.
-
Sony Ericsson C510
The C510 rises high above its low price tag and our prepaid prejudices. The camera is decent and it's assisted by excellent shooting modes and settings.

Sony Ericsson MBS-200
The sound produced by the MBS-200 isn't going to replace a good sound system at home, but it is enough to rock out to in your bedroom, or to take away with you on a holiday with friends.
-
Sony Ericsson HBH-PV740
It certainly looks the part, but this hands-free headset from Sony Ericsson struggles to give us what we want most — clear call quality.
-
HP Mini 2140 (Intel Atom N270 processor 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM)
HP offers a premium version of its Mini 1000 while keeping the price down, making the Mini 2140 the netbook to beat.

Nokia 7310 Supernova
Nokia's 7310 Supernova is a pretty phone for pretty people, but this supernova is not a star (in the astronomical or important sense) nor has it exploded in greatness.
