How many of you still care about Windows Vista updates? While the team here at GadgetLite have switched to using Mac OS X for some time, we know that around 20.2% of you readers/visitors are Vista users, so I guess there is some point in telling you about this new upcoming Windows update. Microsoft has announced to the public about the release of Windows Vista SP2 for anyone who wants to test the latest update before it arrives on the Windows Updater.
Being showcased at the CeBIT this year is another one of ASUS’s new innovative designs. Fingerprints smudging all over the place will definitely be an issue, but ASUS puts a new taste and challenge on classically designed laptops by replacing the keyboard with a second touchscreen display. Not sure, whether you’d call it a “dual touchscreen tablet pc” then? As you can see in the gallery below, its thin and is already running Windows 7. Anyways, news on pricing and availability have not yet been announced but I’m sure there will be more to come.
There isn’t yet a netbook from Apple at the moment and as you will be able to recall on the post in which we wrote about netbooks which were capable of running Mac OS X, only the Dell Mini 9 and MSI Wind achieved full scores. That’s why there is now a proper guide released from Gizmodo showing you how you could install and run Mac OS X on your Dell Mini 9 and hackintosh it into a proper Mac netbook (or mini MacBook?). So before you get started, you will need to make sure you have the following.

Sony Ericsson’s latest Idou was revealed this week at the Mobile World Congress, Barcelona. Probably the most appealing feature is that the Idou boasts a 12.1-megapixel camera, of course, this means SE is now further leading the market with their Cybershot technology equipped phones. But to me I think that is the only thing that I like about the Idou and nothing else. The video embedded below features how the new user interface works on the full touch screen flagship, the picture browser works exactly like the iPhone’s, which kind of puts me off as there is nothing new or creative about it.
You may already have seen the gallery we put up last week of the TG01, Toshiba’s iPhone killer in which they were so excitied to unveil that they couldn’t wait til the Mobile World Congress. I know you may have already seen a previous hands on video but this one to follow after the jump shows more clearly how the device will work and of course all the fuzz about those strips! 
The new Google Earth 5.0 has been out for about a week or so now, but for those who have never tried to use it may still not be convinced why you should download it (for free firstly!), try it and have a play with it. The new and updated Google Earth is probably the biggest library of knowledge (and fun) any free software has ever been able to offer. Yes, indeed there is now a Google Earth Pro that costs 400 bucks, but that is hardly necessary considering the amount of information and fun factor you can already get from the free version.
Google Earth 5′s biggest new features include the other final frontier, the 20th century, and the Red Planet: Mars. You can now go back in time, look at shipwrecks, and even track tagged marine animals, I don’t think this has been something that any other free software has been able to offer.
Windows Vista is always in the news on the blogosphere about how effective it performs. No matter what version of Vista you may be running, it’s possible that you may have already seen these error messages more than once and may well probably be fed up with them!
(I have no idea how the above pic came about, but you’ve been encouraged!)
