Well, I have to give Microsoft some credit on this one. I mostly hate everything they make (after trying it of course) and ever since Windows7 they've been coming up with good ideas.

This gadget for example is very-very interesting and useful. It may not have a 500,000 app appstore, a huge iPod Touch desing and an Apple logo on the back...but hey, it has multitouch, camera, and some very useful apps. Let's just hope that MS knows of a good way to make new apps accessible on the device, and make the customer go over a retail store to buy a disc to put in your computer and tether the Courier to it( just like windows-based smartphones except for the store part).

Anyway, it looks nice. Since Apple is concentrating all of its might in bringing down the mobile gaming industry with their iDevices, other companies can now make similar gadgets with apps and features that are actually useful and productive, and not just "nice to have".

	Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect We tested Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum for more than two months in order to see whether it is really worth its hefty price tag. The mopping, self-emptying Saros 10 was mostly great, even perfect. But its object avoidance was bit disappointing. 1 user comment
	Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra review - obstacle avoidance doesn't work as it should, otherwise almost perfect robot vacuum We put the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra through a very, very long review process. The $1800 mopping robot vacuum is almost perfect, but its obstacle avoidance was surprisingly bad, considering the price - and compared to its competitors.
