I’ve always known Casio’s watches their rugged and indestructable nature but with the new Casio Pathfinder PRG110C-3, the watchmaker has probably taken even a step further. The new PRG110C-3 is a very ‘earthy’ eco-friendly watch for those who like their outdoor challenges. Not only is it tough but it boasts a number of extra outdoor survival functions which you wouldn’t normally find in rugged watches.

The Pathfinder PRG110C-3 incorporates Casio’s Tough Solar technology which increases battery life through the regeneration of electrical power from sunlight. It also features a digital compass, altimeter, barometer and thermometer, the PRG110C-3 no doubt fits the needs of serious outdoorsman. Additionally, it also boasts five daily alarms, a stopwatch and world time in 30 cities. The watch is water resistant up to 100 meters and low temperature resistant, and very green – sorry folks but this is the only colour that’s going to be available, if you want to be green, you’ve got to show it off.

The Casio Pathfinder PRG110C-3 will only be available exclusively via Amazon for $250.

Remember the new Nissan Micra-like futuristic electric vehicle aka Leaf which we featured not very long ago. At that time, it was only available to those in the US, but it appears that the Japanese automaker has now been given the go to commence its manufacture here in the UK.

The investment is backed by a £20.7m government grant and up to £220m from the European Investment Bank. Part of this sum is shared amongst other companies such as Ford but this is still great news for petrolheads amongst you who plan on becoming abit more eco-friendly and fuel efficient. The Leaf is a zero-emissions electric vehicle which in fact boasts quite a lot of geeky but sophisticated technology aimed at optimising your driving experience. In Sunderland, about 50,000 Nissan Leaf hatchbacks, which run entirely on lithium-ion batteries, will roll off the production line a year. Though its pricing is yet to be confirmed,we suspect Nissan won’t be pricing these new vehicles too heavily as this would only create a negative consumer response.

Since Apple began accepting pre-orders for their new flagship tablet iPad in the run up to its launch on April the 5th, a new cat and mouse game between Apple and hackers have in fact been quietly underway.

Though the hacker Joshua Hill, otherwise known as P0sixninja who is a member of the Chronic Dev Team, claims to be working on an iPad jailbreak tool called Greenpois0n, he is in fact also appealing for donations so that he can actually buy one when it becomes available – how ironic?

What good will jailbreaking the iPad do? Well the major benefit will no doubt be access to a ton of free third party applications which you wouldn’t otherwise be able to find on the App Store under Apple’s tight restrictions. Looking at the screenshots alone, it looks like it could be real and that Posixninja might not be just asking for money so that he can buy an iPad!

Likely to be fake and we mean probably more than 90% fake. These photos have been posted by our friends over at Sizzled Core. The photos appear to show that the much speculated iPhone 4G will be available in a tangy orange, black, and white / silver.

What makes us even more suspicious is that it doesn’t seem to match the front facing iPhone 4G panel which we saw leaked not very long ago. The box may appear to look like Apple’s design however that iPhone 4G dock or stand really gives it away. The size of the screen makes it not too disimilar to the iPad. We don’t know if any of the previous speculations of an iPhone 4G are real so really its anyone’s bet!

You couldn’t possibly have known it if I didn’t tell you. Unless of course you were at this year’s Winter Olympics in Vancouver. It appears that Canon were handing out these camera lens mugs for free as collectibles. They look exactly identical to their Canon 70-200mm F4 lens, except that they hold nice hot coffee / tea / hot coco! What a great way to promote their brand and offer people a way to keep their hands warm!

Knowing that these are special edition gifts, we were able to learn from a seller on eBay that these will be officially available to buy from mid-April? They are available for pre-order now for $80 which is quite expensive given that they are not actually working lens! We’re unsure however reliable the release date is but check out the eBay link below if this is what you’re interested in!

What makes the newly unveiled Lenovo S10-3t comparable to the Apple iPad is that it is like the T91 which means its a netbook but is also capable of transforming into a touchscreen tablet. What makes the S10-3t tempting (at least for Windows users) is that it runs on Windows 7 and most users will be happy to stick with software that they’ve been using on their home desktop. While on the other hand, going for an iPad would mean having to adapt to a new OS and the only source of apps being the App Store. In a way the iPad is less open source. However, as you will see in the below video, the S10-3t with a swivel touchscreen gets abit too luxurious, given that it is still at the end of the day just a netbook. Check out the CNET video below…

Unfortunately, we didn’t do this review, but with a sparkling 3.2-inch AMOLED, five megapixel camera with flash, running on a 600 MHz CPU and Android 2.1 and of course all possible connectivities you can imagine, the HTC Legend has the potential to be an outstanding smartphone.

It sports a touchscreen rather than a full QWERTY and has pretty much the characteristics of its predecessor, the HTC Hero. However, compared to the Hero, almost every feature and hardware specification has received an upgrade, supposedly making it much less buggy than first generation HTC Android phones.

I personally like the quality of the AMOLED alot and think that HTC has done an excellent job at perfecting this phone. If you’re considering a new phone and fancy a chance at trying out Android OS based smartphones, we highly recommend you check out the latest review just recently done by the folks over at Gizmodo.

The HTC Legend is not yet available in Europe, but hopefully later this month. It is expected to cost around £390. Unfortunately there is yet to be any announcement made regarding its availability in the US.

HTC Legend Android phone reviewed

In a recent scenario, Vodafone was held responsible for supplying a Mariposa botnet malware and other threats on HTC Magic Android Smartphones. It was noticed that a smartphone supplied by Vodafone’s Spanish division was attempting to make a backdoor entry into the systems during the synchronization process to steal critical information.

The news became widespread as the customer affected is an employee of Spanish anti-virus firm Panda Security. The extra code had been devised to generate information from systems not concerned with the recent detaining of three suspected botmasters in Spain. However, Vodafone acknowledged the problem and claimed it to be a totally isolated incident.

Pedro Bustamante, the researcher at Panda Security who analyzed the attack confirmed the malware to be a Mariposa bot client. The botnet-control mechanism revealed that this malware belongs to a guy named ‘tnls’. Once it infects the systems, the malware sends a connection request back home to receive further orders perhaps to steal all data pertaining to user’s credentials.

The smartphone was also found to be infected by Confiker and a Lineage password-stealing code as per analysts at Panda. Vodafone stated that security and privacy of its customers are one of its top concerns. Following the incident they lunched an immediate investigation to find the root cause and concluded that this was an isolated local incident. These problems usually are a result of an infected computer in the manufacturing or production lines of the company.
