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 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.

Nokia 7310 Supernova

Motorola EM330
It is yet another clamshell phone from yet another phone company. So what sets this mobile phone apart from the others? Not much.
-
Asus N10 (Intel Atom N270 Processor 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM)
You'll pay a bit more for the privilege, but the Asus N10 is unique because of its discrete, switchable graphics and extra ports.
-
Lenovo IdeaPad S10
Lenovo's "me, too!" entry in the netbook sweepstakes, the IdeaPad S10, gets the price and features right, but falls behind on battery life.
