Laptop Problems

We’ve seen plenty of the ASUS Eee PC T91 ever since its first appearance back at CES in January, but now, according to Electric Pig, the swivel tableted, touchscreen-boasting Eee PC has been confirmed by ASUS for a “late May or early June” release in the UK. Sadly, there’s still no further word (beyond its April appearance at the FCC) for a Stateside release, but the UK model is expected to retail for £449 (about $685) when it launches there. We’ll just have to be patient, we suppose.

Despite not being its official US carrier, T-Mobile still seems to wanna maintain an amicable relationship with all those who came over with an iPhone in tow. According to a report by The Consumerist, a recent update to the carrier’s voicemail system caused some of the smartphones, including Apple’s touchscreens, became unusable, with a volley of blank text messages dated from the future arriving instead. Those who contacted customer service were called later to acknowledge the issue and offered an one month service credit. Said the rep, “T-Mobile, though they do not offer the iPhone, and that they are committed to supporting users on their network who have them” — not too surprising a stance, but a kind gesture for sure. The problem has since been fixed, and everyone lived happily ever after.

Apple’s freshest Mac Pro, which was the first machine of any kind to ship with Intel’s newest Nehalem-based Xeon processors, has been on the block for a few months now. By our estimation, that’s plenty of time for the pros (and “prosumers,” if you will) to get a good feel of their new workstation. Design wise, not a lot has changed in the machine, but we’re anxious to know how you feel about the more subtle changes as well as the internal overhauling. Apple’s charging a small fortune for this bad boy, so we fully expect you to be critical here. What’s it missing? What should’ve been included? Are you still bitter that WiFi is a $50 option on a multi-thousand dollar machine? Sound off below!

	T-Mobile G1 revision revealed? If this looks vaguely familiar, that’s because it likely is — we suspect this image out of Boy Genius Report is a newer (or older) render of the “G1 v2″ called out on the recently-leaked Android roadmap out of T-Mobile.		Nokia XpressMusic 5900 leaks out? Sure, this could just be a really nice KIRF, but we’ve got a hunch these pics of an upcoming Nokia XpressMusic 5900 are the real deal — it’s just too understated to be shanzhai.
