If regular looking external hard drives bore you in terms of looks, or if you wanted an external hard drive that would go with your Alienware computer, then perhaps Silicon Power’s S20 offering may be something you might be interested in. The S20 model that is currently being offered by Silicon Power was modelled around a high-performance sports car, with the front side of the S20 supposedly resembling a sport’s cars’ low wind shear design.
You’ll be pleased to know that the S20 does not just offer looks but it offers performance as well (much like a sports car we guess), with the latest USB 3.0 interface, the S20 is supposedly able to transfer a 25GB Blu-ray DVD in 70 seconds. Storage capacitywise it comes in four flavors – 500GB/640GB/750GB/1TB. The S20 is also claiming to be “green” through a power saving mode, whereby the device will automatically switch to power saving/hibernation mode when it detects that there has been no activity in the last 10 minutes.
If the somewhat garish purple color and design does not put you off completely, the Silicon Power S20 is looking to be a pretty decent external hard drive.

In a world full of unnecessary gadgets whose functions can be provided by smartphone apps, the Quicktionary stands defiant. It’s for those rare occasions when you’re laboring over the Bible in its original Greek and can’t understand a thing. Oh wait, the Quicktionary doesn’t do Greek except when it’s English to Greek. Never mind, it covers most European languages anyway. Maybe not Basque/Euskara, but at least the very popular ones. Hebrew too.
The Quicktionary works by running its mini-scanner along a full line of text, with the translation appearing on the rectangular screen on top of the silvery dial. There’s a stylus thrown in as well.
Instead of buying this, why not just read books (including a healthy balance of Enid Blyton and Virgil), broaden your erudition, and memorize Shakespeare? When this happens, no word or phrase can stand in your way, not even a total mindboggler like Sprachgefuhl.
Oh yes, sprachgefuhl. A wonderful gem of German linguistics.
The HTC Arrive looks good, and looks strong. Rimmed with shiny, dark-gray paint, the handset has a glossy appearance and feel. It has barely rounded corners, like the iPhone 4, and two cutouts that reveal the front-facing speakers. On the back, a swath of brushed stainless steel and a decorative screw reveal that this is not a phone to be trifled with. And if there were any doubt, the phone’s dimensions (4.6 inches tall, 2.3 inches wide, 0.6 inch thick) and weight (a whopping 6.4 ounces, nearly half a pound)–attest that the Arrive is one brick of a phone. Its bulk makes it a bit less comfortable to slip into a pocket, but you won’t have to worry much if you drop it. We noticed, however, that the gray paint that rings the face easily flaked off in our bags and under our nail.
The HTC Arrive is Sprint’s first Windows Phone 7 phone, and the first to ship with copy and paste installed.
At 3.6 inches, the WVGA capacitive touch screen is slightly smaller than that of the HTC Surround, but has the same 800×480-pixel resolution. While it’s a fine screen that shows off bright colors and sharp edges, it doesn’t have the richness or pop of the Super AMOLED display on the Samsung Focus.
Below the screen are three touch-sensitive buttons for Back, Home, and Bing search. A camera trigger button is on the right spine, and the Micro-USB charger and a large volume rocker are on the left. Up top there’s a standard 3.5-millimeter headset jack and the power button. The Arrive’s back houses a 5-megapixel camera and a flash. As with all Windows 7 phones, there’s no card slot for expanding the phone’s memory, but the 16GB built-in storage should be enough for most casual users’ needs.
More than anything else, what makes the HTC Arrive stand out is its tilting screen. HTC is no stranger to this design; it brought us the AT&T Tilt and HTC Tilt 2, much ballyhooed back in 2007 and 2009, respectively. Those two handsets ran Microsoft’s earlier Windows mobile operating systems.

The once-thought delayed HTC Trophy for Verizon may still be coming based on a leak reportedly pulled from Verizon’s site. Microsoft staff are now being given a new promotion building on the old one. Those who bought a Trophy would receive at least a $100 credit per line, Phone Arena was shown; those who bought it before April 1 would have the entire price reimbursed by Microsoft.
The bundle would also give a leather case and a power charger to any new phone adopter.
Some rumors had suggested the phone wouldn’t arrive until June, although it’s not clear the date had been moved up. The April cutoff regardless points to a major step closer to launch that month and that there wouldn’t be long to wait.
The Trophy on Verizon would be fundamentally the same as the GSM version but would add dual-mode CDMA/GSM support and the NoDo update giving copy-and-paste text support out of the box. A 3.8-inch screen, a 1GHz Snapdragon and a five-megapixel camera will carry forward.
