This is the first pressshot of sprint’s 4g (wimax) capable mifi. As you can see it’s made of aluminum and looks pretty good. No specs yet, but still it’s probably better then the slow buggy overdrive. Hopefully we will get more information about this mobile router at the CES.

Skype has just released video calling abilities for iphone 4 and ipod touch generation 4.
Best part, it’s possible to call between windows, mac, iphone and android. Also you will be able to recieve video calls from ipads and iphone 3gs, but obviously not show yourself. The cross plattform thing really does make this better than facetime, so maybe apple will ban it? I hope not, anyway there you have it, skype video conferencing on your phone.

Dosen’t your Android phone find any updates although you know that there are updates? On some android phones this trick/hack might help. What you do is dial “checkin” with numbers, like on the picture. And supposedly it forces searching for updates. I myself have not been able to try it, but if it works please leave a comment.
When i got a SSD for my laptop i needed an external enclosure for my old 500gb harddrive, so i went lloking for one and found this. The Nex Star CX from vantec, so what’s special with this one? It is one of the few external 2.5 inch enclosures to have an e-sata port.
Thought’s:
it was very light for a metal enclosure, also it looked a lot better outside the box than on the picture.
The e-sata’s 3gbs transfer speed reall does difference, before i had a sata to usb 2.0 and now it’s a heck of a lt faster than before. (usb 2.0 has a transfer speed of 480mbs)
When i had the hard disk inside my laptop it’s temperature was around 40C but in the enclosure it never rises over 25C, possibly due to the metal enclosure, but not even the encloure get’s warm. very good.
It’s quiet for an extrenal mechanical harddrive.
Kinda sucks that you need to use the usb for power even when you use e-sata for transef, but even that is understandable.
Also it’s good that the e-sata cable is included in the box.
Ultimately it’s a very good harddrive enclosure for 2.5 discs with e-sata, and for around 30$ it’s very much worth it!
