AT&T is having a few new pieces of mobile hardware showing up at their stores, although it isn’t exactly anything to write home about really.

AT&T now has the Samsung a237 or at least a dummy of the mobile handset and it’s not a bad low priced flip style mobile. They also have another Samsung device with a hidden front display but as yet unidentified, but no doubt we’ll find out sooner or later.

And then they have the recently released USBConnect Mercury, which is one of the prettiest looking data sticks that has come to market in a long while, and one thing is for sure the USBConnect Mercury is a darn sight more attractive than the USBConnect 881.

There is no official word on this yet, but it looks as if Sony Ericssion has revamped some existing mobile phones and unveiled them in all new colours, some of which look quite cool.

Although I have said it before, and will probable say it again, when a company has no real new news on any relent releases what do they do? Why they push out a few old models wearing a shiny new coat.

It cleans up the models, gives the mobile phone user something else to choose from, and puts the company’s product back into the public eye, even if for only a short period.

Still, it makes the news I guess, so here’s what Sony Ericsson has colourized…the Sony Ericsson G502 in Celerity Red, Sony Ericsson W380 in pink, Sony Ericsson C702 in Energy Black, Sony Ericsson C902 in Cinnamon Bronze and Titanium Silver, Sony Ericsson W980 in Opera Brown and Violin Red, Sony Ericsson W350 in Turbo Red and Wisteria Purple, and the Sony Ericsson W910 in Lipstick Pink and Prime Silver.

Like I said, not official as yet.

There is no getting away from the fact that the hottest hatch has always been the Volkswagen Golf, and the greatest version is the R32. The R32 offers the greatest performance than any other Golf has to offer, one that is enough to go head to head with the BMW 1 and the Mini Cooper.

The R23 has a 3.2 L naturally aspirated 15-degree narrow angle V6 engine, which produces 250 hp, considering the size of the car, the power to weight ratio is very high. The standard 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system transfers at least 75 percent of available torque to the rear wheels. The Volkswagen R32 has a 0-60 speed of 6.4 seconds.

The fully independent multi-link rear suspension sits wider and lower than its GTI sibling, the R32 flaunts its authority both inside and out. The hot hatch has twin chrome exhausts along with 18-inch alloy wheels, Bi-Xenon headlights and a uniquely shaped front grille.

The Volkswagen R32 has a host of safety features; these include Electronic Stabilization Program that reacts to critical driving situations in milliseconds by controlling the speed of individual wheels; and a confidence-inspiring Anti-Lock Braking System that helps to prevent wheels from locking under heavy braking.
