  As of today, there is now one more variation of the UMID mbook M1 that we have reviewed a few times, and it comes with limited-edition appeal and color. Yes, the picture to the left is correct.

• Google working on its own Android phone?
  Before the announcement of the Android OS, when everyone was talking about the rumored "Google Phone" or "G-Phone," I remember thinking that Google would follow Apple's lead in creating both the hardware and software elements of a phone.

• Hallods launches F43 PMP with an actual 720p HD screen
  A new HD-capable PMP launch is usually a routine affair with most devices having similar specifications and featuring WVGA (800x480) screens only suitable for displaying standard definition 480p video files.
