Sony teases new VAIO to be launched at IFA

I recently wrote a piece in the Calgary Herald about how Sony has been making some key product releases in 2013 and it looks like this will continue at IFA. The company is set to unveil a new VAIO portable hybrid that is being teased in the video above. From what we can see, this is an extension and likely improvement over their current Sony VAIO Pro Touch 13 and VAIO Duo devices. By using a paper/origami model in the video, one expects this new VAIO to be impossibly slim, light and flexible. We will know soon enough as IFA kicks off on September 6 in Berlin, Germany.

Meet the 'Phablet' - Samsung's new 5.4-inch Galaxy Note smartphone/tablet

Samsung's brought back the PDA or at least innovated the thin space between large smartphones and tablets. Revealed recently at IFA (Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin), the stylus toting smartphone features an HD AMOLED screen that's not too different from the Retina Display but with a form factor, size and notepad capability that's sure not to attract any patent lawsuits. Is there a place in the world for a 5.4 inch smartphone?
