There is a new exciting HTC Touch Dual phone just out. It combines an intuitive touch screen and keypad within a cool design. With the flick of your thumb, the touch screen slides to reveal a handy smart-sized keyboard. If you prefer to touch, the interface allows you to quickly go through your emails, messages, music and images. When you touch the screen you activate the home page to give you an instant view of your email, calendar, messages, missed calls and dynamic weather updates. Get onto HTC's website for more specs.

Its very hard to work when the power keeps flickering. We are in the middle of storm season - lightning strikes and thunderstorms are common at the moment. Our car got damaged by hail the size of ice cubes. We have had a laptop fail and a UPS blow up! Fortunately both are under warranty.
Hopefully I will get an uninterrupted afternoon and evening of work with no more storms today. (All our pcs and network equipment are protected by UPS - Uninterruptible Power Supplies)

Microsoft's new mouse is according to their claim a comfortable mouse that is the most advanced mobility tool available. It's features are:

• Transceiver with 1 GB Flash Memory
• 2.4 GHz Wireless Technology
• USB Rechargeable with Magnetic Connectors
• High Definition Laser Technology
• Battery Life Indicator

Its transceiver contains 1 GB Flash Memory, which frees up 1 USB port. Apparently you can even continue to work while your mouse is charging.

I think we will continue to see more of these types of combinations of hardware as manufacturers attempt to differentiate their products from the generic masses.
