Black Friday 2009
Black Friday is almost here! Gadgetell's got you covered with all the latest news on who's offering the best deals. Dangerous crowds? You're on your own.
Palm Pre Information & Updates
Palm just introduced their next-gen smartphone, the Palm Pre, and next-gen operating system, Palm webOS. Gadgetell's got the latest Pre and webOS information and news for you right here.
The screen they have developed is a 14.1 inch monitor that uses reflective plates in the backlighting panels to reflect sunlight, and then you are able to easily switch back to normal backlighting when using the laptop indoors.
The nice thing about the reflective plates is that it uses only 1/4 of the normal energy, thus saving battery power and electricity. Also, if you are working in a room that is usually flooded with sunlight, it can work indoors too, but you would need a lot of sunlight. In addition, the contrast ratio when used outdoors is 9:1, unlike the normal 2:1 or 3:1 by other notebooks when used outdoors.
No word on official release date as of yet, but it will be on display at CES coming this January.
