MSI WindBox III gets a bit more oomph, still lives on your LCD

If your current WindBox is growing a bit long in the tooth, MSI has a newcomer with somewhat more respectable internals. Since it’s a fanless machine designed to live on the rear of your LCD, you won’t be ordering one with a Core i7, but the included Core 2 Duo chip is certainly a step [...]

BlackBerry Torch 9800 gets the Colorware treatment, sees value increase infinitely

So look — RIM’s BlackBerry Torch 9800 isn’t exactly the barnburner-of-a-smartphone that we were hoping it’d be, but at least it looks snazzy, right? Right?
