BenQ isn’t a power player in the European mobile phone market and its new E72 handset (announced at Computex) isn’t a mass market smartphone.
Exclusively available as part of BT’s Fusion package, the E72 acts a GSM/GPRS mobile phone when you’re out and about. And, thanks to an integrated Wi-Fi module, it can seamlessly switch over to use VOIP when you’re in range of your BT Home Hub router or a BT Openzone Wi-Fi hotspot.
Even if you’re in mid-call.
You can already see this sort of intelligent network switching on laptops that include 3G data cards or on Apple’s iPhone. Devices will automatically use the fastest wireless connection available – first Wi-Fi, then 3G/HSDPA data, and then slower EDGE/GPRS services.

The neat little Sharp LC26D44E is currently the smallest HD Ready Aquos that Sharp UK sells.
Available in shiny grey or glossy black its 26-inch screen size makes it an ideal second TV. Hook it up to a DVD player in your bedroom, perhaps, or plug it into a PlayStation 3.
To keep the price as low as possible, manufacturers tend to cut corners on smaller, lower-end TVs. This Sharp LC26D44E is no exception.
For starters, the D44-series models forgo ‘full HD’ support, so this 26-incher boasts a maximum screen resolution of 1366×768 pixels (720p).

The Disgo Media Bank describes itself as a “digital video, picture and music player”.
It’s essentially a 500GB external hard disk drive with a simplistic menu, built-in audio/video codecs and a remote control.
Disgo has, however, slapped on an extra layer of functionality to set the Media Bank apart from other multimedia-themed drives. In addition to its digital audio/video playback and JPEG slide shows, the Disgo Media Bank can also record video.
This is an external HDD that claims to be a PVR.
