Multi-Colored Dell Inspiron 537 and 537s Desktops

It’s seems to be all the rage at the moment – no one really seems to like silver, black or even white any more – color is where it’s at.  At least that seems to be what Dell are currently thinking.  You can get the new Dell Inspiron 537 and Inspiron 537s Desktop PCs in a choice of 8 different colors.  I guess with the likes of the ever-popular iPod Nano being available in a multitude of colors others were bound to follow suit.

In the Dell stable you can now get desktops, laptops and the Dell Studio Hybrid in a range of colors – the Studio Hybrid is even available with a shell made of bamboo or leather believe it or not.

So, check out the colors of the new customisable Inspiron below and pick out one that goes with your office furniture – or maybe just your mood! I warn you though, you may need a decent pair of sunglasses.

The New Large Screen Amazon Kindle DX E-Book Reader

Rumors have it that the new Kindle DX, the successor to the Kindle 2, will be released by Amazon tomorrow (May 05 2009). Amazon’s latest e-book reader will have a natty 9.7 inch display (which is a massive 3.7 inches more than the Kindle 2 for those of you for whom size matters).

The larger screen is expected to make the device much more suited to reading newspapers and magazines and apparently both the New York Times and Times Warner’s magazine division are among the publishers who will put out content for the Kindle DX. It is likely that the price of these publications will be significantly cheaper on the DX than the Kindle 2.

Below is a first glimpse of the Kindle DX.
