Lenovo Yoga Convertible Laptop Hands-on

11.6-inch. 13 hours of battery life is cool. But 2GB RAM and 64GB SSD harf drive probably won't be enough. Not exactly tablet lightness, feels like an ultrabook weight. £699.99 EDIT: 1.3kg according to online source

Wii U headset at PC World

spotted today, £16.99. Mic is in the cable attachment thing with the volume and mute buttons

Sony Ericsson T630 spotted!

This phone is very similar to my first phone Sony Ericsson T616 (T610 in the US). When I brought my T616 to Japan, I was surprised Japan has never seen such petite camera phone. At 95 gram, it's not even 100 gram. And it's the popular camera phone when there were very few camera phones. EDIT: bought it!
