Laptops are getting smaller. But I think we still want something more portable. Well, if your Dell Inspiron Mini 9 seems not so small then iKIT from IMOVIO is created especially for you.
Dimensions of iKIT are 95 × 65×15, 5 mm and it weighs 20 grams less than iPhone. It seems that smaller laptops are simply meaningless, since with them it would be impossible to work normally.

It has a QWERTY keyboard, the screen is a 2.8 inch (7.1 cm), the CPU Marvell PXA270 312MHz, 64MB RAM and Linux OS – these are the main characteristics of iKIT. Naturally, it supports wireless Bluetooth 2.0 and Wi-Fi 802.11b / g. Batteries are enough for three hours.
The gadget will cost $170.

Microsoft is going to continue its line of Sidewinder keyboards. The new device, which is expected to be released is called Sidewinder X6, will consist of a full QWERTY keyboard with detachable numeric keypad unit that can be affixed on both sides to the main part.
The keyboard will be useful for gamers who are accustomed to control with both right and left hands. The device also has an additional row of buttons. Presumably, their functionality could be set up. Two round pens are likely to be designed to control the volume.
The keys are equipped with lighting for working in dark rooms, and together with a keyboard the gamer will also receive Sidewinder mouse. The cost of this gadget is about $80.

If anything can ruin almost any perfect phone, it can be the fact that the phone supports only triple standard GSM / EDGE. Fortunately, this model is not among such mobile phones, so let’s first pass to its advantages.

LG KS360 had a brilliant debut at CommunicAsia this week. It has a QWERTY keyboard, a 2-megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth, FM radio, a 2.4 inch QVGA display and whimsical black-and-red building with round convex buttons.
Phone can be suitable for consumers who do not have huge sums of money and do not need such functions as, for example, support for 3G.
As for the keyboard, this is the only minus – it has a bad legible inscriptions on the buttons.
