It lo oks like Fujitsu’s added yet another sure to be short-lived distinction to its repertoire of bragging rights, with its new ScanSnap S300 scanner laying claim to the title of "world’s smallest color ADF scanner." Despite its diminutive size (11.2 x 3.7 x 3.0 inches), the scanner looks like it should stack up reasonably well against its larger counterparts, with it boasting a scanning speed of 8 pages per minute for single-sided pages and 17 images per minute for double-sided documents, along with special scanning options for business cards, a range of automatic page-detection options, and a maximum resolution of 600 dpi. You will have to pay a bit more than a comparable, non-world’s smallest model, however, as this one will run you just shy of $300 when it hits the US in late November.

US netizens can now call dibs on Lenovo’s 3000 Y410 laptop for the home. That’s right, a consumer laptop — their first for the US market. Released without fanfare, the new 14.1-inch glossy 1,280 x 800 model starts at about $700 depending upon the configuration you track down at your local big box — another first for Lenovo. That gets you a 1.46GHz Pentium Dual Core T2310 proc, 1GB of memory, 160GB 5400rpm disk, dual-layer DVD writer, 6-in-1 media card reader, 802.11a/b/g WiFi, ExpressCard, and Intel X3100 graphics with 1.3 megapixel camera, Dolby Home Theater speakers with sub-woofer running atop a Vista Home Premium OS. The 1.02-1.45-inch thick / 5.5-pound sled doesn’t look half bad either… for Lenovo. Now we’re just wondering if the build quality and support matches that of their ThinkPad lineup. If so, then Lenovo’s got themselves a winner here.

The USB memory stick has replaced the humble floppy disc as the easiest way to share files and with capacities growing, and prices falling, they make an essential purchase for any PC user.
The only thing that seems to differentiate different makes of key is speed and capacity.
This 4GB stick is great value at £25 (inc. VAT) but Verbatim has decided that it doesn’t want to just offer space, as the key comes bundled with an application called Carry It Easy Plus, which is worth £20 on its own.

NEC LCD Technologies today announced the successful development of a new color TFT LCD module that enables the viewing angle to be switched from wide to narrow in accordance with display contents, use and application of the LCD. NEC LCD Technologies has realized the new LCD module by its own unique value integrated TFT-LCD (VIT) technology, along with the addition of a new viewing angle-switching control on the polarizer adjacent to the backlight system.
