Motorola’s i465 is supposedly a messaging phone, and I suppose it is designed for the IM generation. At first I thought the keyboard was too small for this, but I actually got used to it very quickly.
I was also surprised that the camera is taking quality stills, but I’m having a hard time finding the supposed Media Center where I can do video capture. All in all, I suppose you could call it a poor-man’s BlackBerry once you have Web access.
The i465 is available from Boost for about $99.99.

Consumer Reports magazine has recently released their “Best New Electronics” issue for December 2009, and topping the list for the best new Netbook is the Samsung N120-12GBK.
The N120-12GBK scored a 58 out of 100 for its overall score, and very high ratings for portability and ergonomics. The average price for this netbook is about $400, and you can see the entire top ten list after the jump.

Archos has been putting out some seriously cool MIDs with the Archos 5, not to mention their PMP market with the Archos 2 Vision, Archos 3 Vision and the Clipper. Behold the unveiling of the Archos 1 Vision.
Perhaps behold is too strong of a words, as it is simply a 4GB PMP with a 1.5 inch LCD screen for about 20 hours of life per charge. There is no video support, but what do you expect for about $45? If you want it, it will be available in Europe by the end of November.

You’ve got to admire the look of Bowers and Wilkin’s Zeppelin Mini iPod Dock, and the folks of iLounge had a chance to check it out.
They liked the space-saving curved body, as well as the mirrored top surface. They also noted that the volume and power buttons had been relocated to an inconspicuous place in the bottom right edge. The unit itself costs $399 and is compatible with the iPod 4G, 5G, classic, mini, nano, touch, iPhone, and iPhone 3G/3GS.

We all enjoyed a first glimpse at the Nokia X6 a few months ago, and it would appear that it is ready to ship.
Most people in most parts of the world should expect it within a week, which is at the same time as a Rihanna release party. As for those in the United Kingdom, you should expect to have it around November 12. The price is still a tad high at $891.

As the need for drug information for various diseases such as the H1N1 virus continues to grow in need, here is one that makes its way via the iPhone. Tarascon announces the release of its iPhone app version with the Tarascon Pocket Pharmacopoeia iPhone app, an application that continuously updates critical drug dosing information that is needed by healthcare providers and physicians.
The app is now available at the iTunes App Store for $39.99. It includes 12 months of continuous drug updates.

For the people who are using chargers for their phones, you can bet that a large number of them are using second class or replacement chargers rather than the genuine Nokia chargers. And while this does become a cost-friendly alternative, safety and quality are bound to be up for criticism. Nokia takes the initiative to offer a charger exchange program to protect consumers by providing them free authentic charger replacements.

Some of the hazards include exposure of the chargers which could cause problems such as electric shocks. However the exchange is limited to a certain scope of models (AC-3E, AC-3U and AC-4U). If you want to learn more about the program, you can check it out here.

It may look like an over-priced flash drive at $23 but you have to give technology some allowance in making it happen. This solar cell USB key called the Sun Drive comes in various capacities (2.1G, 2.2G, 2.3G and 2.4G). As you would guess, it solicits its power from the sun (solar power) which should become an ideal alternative for mobile phone power (100 minutes of talk time) or as a power source for MP3 players (35 hours). It may seem bulky but this is because of the solar cell and the battery. Overall, this is should be a handy gadget, especially for the ones who have all kinds of gadgets on the go.

For the record, The Shack is really meant to carry the new brand or name of Radio Shack. And with the new name looks like a new product and guess what the first device is, the iPhone. As the iPhone continues its dominance in new resellers, the Shack has been announced to be on the roster. The rollout of the iPhones is expected to commence by 2010 although prices have not yet been disclosed.
