If your gear isn’t pushing the performance envelope, you typically have to resort to alternative means for attracting those precious customers. Sony’s newish VAIO E series is an exponent of just such a philosophy, with its lurid colorings and replaceable keyboard skins. The company’s decided to take things up a notch, however, by now offering a Color Combo site where we can combine the gnarliest hue mismatches this side of Colorware. The chromatic choices include the laptop’s case and keyboard as well as the additions of a wireless mouse and a reversible sleeve. Everything that isn’t bolted down to the computer will of course cost you extra, but will you really let a little bit of cash stand between you and that magenta dream machine?
The battle for minds is well and truly on now, and if there was any doubt that Google and Adobe are cozying up together to take on Apple, let it now be extinguished. TechCrunch is reporting that the latest version of Android — you know, the one with the 450 percent performance improvement and buttery smooth Flash playback — will, upon updating, guide you to visit a selection of Flash-enabled websites. Countering Apple’s list of iPad-ready (aka Flash-free) websites, this is clearly intended as a showcase of the Adobe software’s capabilities. Ironically, a sizable number of the sites on the list are “mobile optimized,” meaning you won’t be hitting their full desktop versions (which doesn’t quite mesh with the idea of “the full web experience”), but it’s still likely to cause some consternation over in Cupertino. All we’re wondering now is how much Adobe had to pony up to ensnare such a prominent promo position, but things like that don’t stay secret for long.
