Apple iPad has a large, high-resolution LED-backlit IPS display. An incredibly responsive Multi-Touch screen. And an amazingly powerful Apple-designed chip. All in a design that’s thin and light enough to take anywhere. iPad isn’t just the best device of its kind. It’s a whole new kind of device.

The high-resolution, 9.7-inch LED-backlit IPS display on iPad is remarkably crisp and vivid. Which makes it perfect for web browsing, watching movies, or viewing photos. With iPad, there is no up or down. It’s designed to show off your content in portrait or landscape orientation with every turn. And because it uses a display technology called IPS (in-plane switching), it has a wide, 178° viewing angle. So you can hold it almost any way you want and still get a brilliant picture, with excellent colour and contrast.

It will run almost 140,000 apps from the App Store. So you can use all those incredibly fun and useful apps — including everything from games to productivity apps — right out of the box. iPad will work with almost all of the apps designed for the iPhone. Just download them from the App Store. Or, if you already have apps for your iPhone or iPod touch, you can sync them to iPad from your Mac or PC. Then run them in their original size, or expand them to fill the screen. And developers are working on new apps designed specifically for this amazing device and all the things it can do.

I'm really happy with this new addition to my gadget collections.

Nokia N Series has become very popular recently. Now, I’m going to give a short review on this 173-gram Nokia N90. N90 is called the 3G imaging phone, while the N91 is the music phone. The N90 image phone is equipped with a good camera, as compared to others – as what it is called (imaging phone).

This model’s lustrous silver cover gives the owner a classy “look”. As shown on the picture it can also be flipped and twisted just like the Nokia 6260; it has the ability to be twisted on the upper portion and the base and looking like it’s "sitting up and begging", which is ideal if you are connecting to the Nokia wirelessly and just want to prop the screen up on a table. Video Calling is also allowed in this model.

It has a 2 mega pixel camera but unfortunately, optical zoom is not possible just the auto focus system. Internal memory is 31 MB but the memory is expandable with the memory stick. USB connectivity, Bluetooth and a secondary 128 x 128 screen with full color are among the major features of N90. Battery can last up to 12 days on standby and 3 hours for talk time. Also, due to its speakers, ringtones are super loud.

Finally, Sony Ericsson has launched a 3G phone, the new, K600i that is enabled to perform a multimedia streaming device much better than the standard 2G mobile handset.

This sleek handset measures 104.3 x 45 x 18.9 mm, has a 176 x 220 pixel 1.8" LCD screen, which is capable of displaying 262k colors, at the back, the K600i has a built-in 1.3 mega pixel camera. What’s good with this new gadget is that it supports GSM 900, 1800 and 1900 but handy, unlike other bulky 3G phones that we’ve come to encounter in the market today.

One major disadvantage of having this phone is that its internal memory is only 37Mb and has no memory stick, so files saved will be too limited. On the other hand, what it does to compensate for this limitation is that they focus more on 3G streaming video rather than recording video clips, as well as allows video calling.

Bluetooth is also available on this handset for connectivity. The battery can last up to 7.5 hours with 12 days and up to 2 hours talk time.

Feeling stressed and you think you need an aromatherapy but don’t have the time to go to the spa or prepare it all by yourself? Then, worry no more, as the new USB Aromatherapy Oil Burner is now invented for your relief. This new gadget just needs to be plugged into any USB port and presto! You can instantly sit or lie down and relax. Keeping those stress away.
The air can even smell fresh while you’re being relaxed by its scent. Cool, isn’t it? How does this work? Simply place the rose-scented aromatherapy oil, which is included during the purchase, into the X spot, wait for a few minutes until the oil is warm and then you can smell the soothing scents of the oil.

Another new e-book reader will be released by Sony at the end of this month. The Sony Reader Pocket Edition, also known as PRS-300, has a 5″ electronic paper display and comes in various colors like navy blue, rose and silver. What’s good with this e-book reader, just like the other readers from different brands, is that you can read a book with a single hand due to its relatively small size and it can save up to 350 standard e-books with just its internal memory.

Here’s another excellent feature of this product - its battery, which can last up to 2 weeks of uninterrupted reading, cool, isn’t it? The proposed retail price of Sony PRS-300, which is $199, makes it the most affordable e-book reader available in the market so far.

So, what are you waiting for? Start searching for free e-books now and download it for free! Then, when this product is already available in your area, you already have those numerous e-books to save and read.

I have been using this Neo Notebook V1100 everyday for almost 2 months now. Because of its small size it’s very handy and can be carried anywhere with utmost ease. Here are its major specifications:

• Intel Atom N270 1.6 GHz
• 120 GB SATA Mobile HD
• 8.9” WXVGA LCD Display
• 1 GB DDR2 RAM
• Integrated LAN, Video and WiFi
• WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) ready
• Built-in card reader, microphone and headphone
• Genuine Windows XP Home

There are several colors available in the market like, red, green, black and white, but white is the only available color when I checked it, so I bought it. What I really like with this product is it’s WiFi ready, thus I’ll just look for a “hotspot” (where WiFi is available for free) and presto, I can instantly connect to the internet. This is perfect for a blogger, like me, who is not a stay-at-home person (due to my work).

So far, I only see two minor disadvantages: its small LCD display (8.9”) and battery life can only last up to maximum of 3 hours.
