Are you reading?

We’ve already seen a somewhat underwhelming official video of Sony’s new X-Series Walkman (or NWZ-1060, to be specific), but anyone seriously considering the touchscreen PMP will no doubt also want to check out CNET Asia’s new hands-on video, which offers a decidedly less controlled look at the device in action. That includes a glimpse of the Walkman’s seemingly speedy album art browsing mode, a better look at the trademark granite edge surrounding the device and, of course, a full overview of those dedicated control buttons that allow for non-touchscreen use. Head on past the break to check it out for yourself.

My, how fast the cutting edge becomes dull. Nary four months ago, we were introduced to Corsair’s first SSD: a 2.5-inch 128GB slab of MLC NAND goodness that promised 90MB/sec read and 70MB/sec write speeds. Needless to say, those numbers weren’t about to shatter any records, so the company went out and produced something that just might. The benchmarking fiends over at HotHardware managed to scoop up a 256GB S256 from the company and put it through the first of many tests. As for results? Early reports show average read speeds nailing the 200MB/sec mark, while average write rates hovered just under 170MB/sec. The only issue is the breathtaking $749 price tag (expected, anyway), but at least you’ve apparently got a few months to save up.

The company who brought us the Pedal Powered Wheelchair actually has a wide-range of wheelchair accessories including this electric model called the Speedy Elektra which is designed for those who aren’t physically able to pedal.

Using an easy four-step process, the Elektra can be connected to a wheelchair by the user without any assistance, and in addition to a variable speed twist grip, it also offers a handy reverse gear. Unfortunately I have no idea what the top speed, battery life or range of the Speedy Elektra is (why would a company include any useful info on their website?) but I have to assume it’s a more affordable solution than buying an actual electric wheelchair.

Last we checked, a GSM handset couldn’t exactly hop on those speedy EV-DO waves without some sort of dual personality. And so far as we know, Palm’s forthcoming GSM Pre is, well, GSM only. Whatever the case, Britons should be at least mildly excited to know that Palm’s UK website now features the webOS-sporting Pre, even though the image is definitely not of a GSM Pre. Of course, the important part here is that a GSM Pre is definitely on its way to the UK, and considering that we already spotted one with a Vodafone SIM, we’re hoping that it’ll happen sooner rather than later. Much sooner, actually.

C’mon, did you really expect Archos to knock this out of the park on its first go? Okay, so we sort of did too, but we’re not baffled to hear that the Archos 10 could’ve used a few more days in the oven before hitting primetime. According to a review at Laptop, the unit does have one of the better software stacks, and the speedy hard drive led to some remarkably hasty boost times. That said, the $399 admission price puts it up against some pretty stiff competition, with the Aspire One D150 and the Eee PC 1000HE both offering up more longevous batteries and more comfortable keyboards. In the end, it boiled down to critics preferring the long life and comfy typing over the above-average software suite, but true Archos fanboys may be willing to overlook its drawbacks to still fall in love.

We can’t say a device such as this was inevitable or anything, but given how limited the adoption of WiMAX has been thus far in America, it’s definitely a win for everyone involved. According to Sidecut Reports, Clearwire will soon unveil a portable WiMAX / WiFi router built by Cradlepoint (prototype pictured), which will utilize a Motorola WiMAX USB stick to enable WiFi-capable devices to gather ’round and surf on the delightfully speedy WiMAX superhighway. In other words, non-WiMAX handsets that have WiFi modules can tap into the WiMAX network (if they’re in a lit locale, that is) via this device, which — if we may say so ourselves — is a brilliant design move. There’s no word yet on when the box will ship nor how pricey it’ll be, but this could be just the thing you’ve been looking for to replace that painfully expensive cable modem at home.
