New toys…

This post comes via my new Asus 1005ha Netbook which I purchased for a need to a light transportable laptop which allowed me to pretty much code on the fly… I mean lets me honest I feel chained to computers, may as well have that 24/7 feeling! Well anyway it has been a massive headache looking at various Netbooks and comparing power and battery life. I eventually settled for the Asus as I have an Asus laptop and it has served me well with excellent graphics, awesome sound and the best battery life and hope that this shows in the netbook… So far I am pretty impressed!

I am also getting the chance to try out Windows 7 starter, and I must say I am a tad impressed although I can see where the problems are going to start coming through with this OS, oh and I cannot change my desktop wallpaper which distresses me a bit!! But anyway, it’s probably the first time I have actually been impressed with an operating system from Microsoft.

I am also currently researching for a new mobile phone… It hasn’t been easy and for the last 3 months have been looking at a variety of phones, all with their Pros and Cons. It was a battle between HTC and Apple… I say HTC because I like the Hero and the Tattoo, both are android phones and both have very good specs!

I won’t go into my choices as to why I have chosen as it’s personal choice but the winner was the HTC Hero!

I will give a full review into my new netbook in a week after heavy abuse and testing and hopefully will be able to report on the HTC Hero.
