There’s always a new use for mobile phones turning up, from email to internet, mobile blogging to gaming – oh, and making calls. But few could have predicted the slightly barmy idea of sending a cellphone into space “to see if it works”. Despite that fact that there are few relay towers in orbit around the earth (certainly none that will let you stay on your local tariff) British engineers are planning on putting a mobile phone in orbit. The idea is two-fold: first of all, the scientists at Surrey Satellite Technology Limited (SSTL) in Guildford want to ascertain

Toshiba has unveiled several new notebooks that are new additions to its popular Satellite and Qosmio families.

Both the keyboard and the display integrate LED backlighting, and the back of the screen is

WiMax wireless chips will be available in the Satellite A665 Series, the M645 Series, the Protege R705-P35, and the Satellite E205-S1908. These are all portable mainstream laptops, with

AT&T has announced the TerreStar Genus Hybrid Satellite Phone and it will be coming with a price tag of $799. The dual-mode cellular/satellite smartphone, which was announced last year, has taken some time to arrive even though it was announced to be available in the first quarter of this year. The phone will be running on the Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system. It will provide rich features and functionality, including a 2.6-inch touch screen, WiFi, Bluetooth and, of course, GPS.

As promised, it is a Best Buy exclusive and is now on the shelves at a cheaper price than the initially announced price of $999 . What makes this notebook different is its wireless display tech.

Under the hood, the notebook is powered by an Intel Core i5-430M processor with 4GB of RAM and has a 500 GB HDD for storage. The

These didn’t quite make it off the boat before CES, but if it’s a new Toshiba laptop you’ve been searching for, you can still get some satisfaction before the end of this month. The outfit has just announced that four of its machines are available in the US starting right this very moment, including the 15.6-inch Tecra A11 (starts at $879). This one packs an integrated numpad, NVIDIA GPU, an undisclosed new Intel CPU and a charcoal black chassis. Moving on, that Qosmio X500 workhorse that we first heard about late last year finally has its shipping papers

CES is great and all, but one of the bones we choose to pick with the show is the typically long gap between the Vegas introduction and the mass market ship date. Thankfully for us, Toshiba has no interest in keeping us waiting for one of the world’s first Intel Wireless Display-equipped (or WiDi, as it were) laptops.
