Xperia X1 Slides Open to Reveal a Landscape-Mode Keyboard

Xperia X1's large (3-inch) touchscreen (see previous slide) exemplifies another handset trend. But it also lets you navigate via an optical joystick underneath the display. When closed, this Sony Ericsson's metal-finish rear case shows nothing but the lens of its 3.2-megapixel camera (above, left). however the X1 does have an unusual design feature: It slides open ways in a gentle arc (above, right) to reveal a roomy portrait-mode keyboard. As with other sideways sliders, the display adjusts automatically.

Asus Eee PC 4G Surf Revealed

Just a few months ago Asus rocked the ultraportable market with the release of the EEE PC 701. At the beyond-reasonable price of $399, the 701 came armed with a verstile Linux operating system and tons of handy applications.

Now Asus has released a new version of the tiny wonder. The EEE PC surf 4G ditches the glitchy webcam of its predecessor and simultaneously sheds a few bucks as well. For $349, the coffee house-bound user gets a two-pound portable with a seven-inch display and 4GB solid state drive. We loved the 701, so we're pleased to say the 4G doesn't land too far from the tree. Check out our full reviewhere
