Too bad this geek has to miss the Consumer Electronics Show this year due to national service commitments. This looks really interesting. My head is just beginning to get around how it’d change the way we use our PC. Wonder if I can play Starcraft 2 better with it? Alas, we’d have to wait till July to find out! More details in the announcement after the break.

This looks like a nifty gadget that might make a lot of sense for certain lifestyles. Earlier on, this geek was playing with the Sony Ericsson X10 Mini Pro and it packed a lot of features in a little device providing a pretty nice experience on Andriod. Looks like Sony Ericsson is going for smaller devices with more modular extensions like the LiveView. I haven’t played with one myself but you can find out more from the press release below.

For a geek who has not touched a Sony Ericsson phone in a long long while, I tried the Xperia X10 Mini with QWERTY and found the Andriod implementation pretty decent and the keyboard extremely good for such a small form factor. Has changed my mind about Sony Ericsson phones for sure. Have not tried the Vivaz but here’s an update for those of you who own one here in Asia Pacific.
Highlights:
- New customisable user interface available in the Asia Pacific region from September 2010
- Exclusively optimised, with 3D carousel on the Vivaz™ and Vivaz pro™
- Touch-friendly menus, multiple desktop screens and widgets offer high level of user personalisation

Behold, the Camera Lens Mug, a mug that looks JUST LIKE a 24-105mm lens!
It’s equipped with a lens-cap lid, rubber-grip focus and zoom rings, and an auto-focus switch that actually switches! It’s so realistic, you might have to use post-its just to remind yourself which is your mug and which is your lens!
