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.
