ViaArena has taken a look at the development of the Ultra Mobile PC. "Back in February 2006, almost one year ago, I got to see a UMPC in action for the first time at E3. VIA was demonstrating a sample on their booth. Although I didn't get any personal time with it, I thought that it did look very interesting. At that stage I wasn't too sure where in the market it was going to fit and I wondered, who would really buy a handheld personal computer? Could it possibly replace a notebook? I knew it wasn't going to replace a desktop."
Matt has sent in word of a man who has been burned by his mobile phone. "A man is suffering burns to over 50 per cent of his body after a mobile phone he was carrying in a pocket caught fire. Luis Picaso, 59, is in stable condition with second- and third-degree burns to his upper body, back, right arm and right leg."
This article takes a look at Nintendo DS homebrew modding. "In this article I'm focusin on the newer version of NDS - The Lite, but similar solutions are available to the older NDS model too.
