I’m sure they will be posting up some details on TechCrunch soon, but until then, all we have are these pictures. Notice the orange one in the background behind the white one. Pretty sexy, huh?

I know we’re all growing tired of the usual netbook specs (Intel Atom 1.6GHz, 160GB hard drive and Windows XP), but the Gdium Liberty 1000 is a step in the wrong direction. Laptop Magazine reviewed this oddball netbook and didn’t like much about it. Instead of a hard drive or SSD it comes with a [...]

I knew after we posted about Intel’s announcments at the IDF yesterday that video would surface. I also know it would surface at jkkmobile’s site. Sure enough it did. The video (after the jump) shows a few of the new form factors that are available, including a phone from BYDmars running XP. Interesting.
Loren Heniy has linked to a news report of Penn State students using Tablet PCs. HP provided 63 Tablet PCs for the engineering program. The video shows us what most of us that use Tablet PCs already know. And I guess I find that both comforting and frustrating for the same reason. The fundamental [...]
When Barnes and Noble purchased eBook retailer Fictionwise it sort of presaged this move. Now the rumors are running that Barnes and Noble is readying its own eBook reader to compete with Amazon and the Kindle. Chances are B&N will use some one else’s device and word is they’ve talked with all the major carriers [...]
Another story about legal maneuvering about touch surfaced yesterday. This one features Taiwanese company Elan Microelectronics suing Apple over alleged infringement of two touch screen patents.

You kind of knew it wasn’t going to last and that this would happen. The day after iTunes put its price increase into effect (some songs for as high as $1.29, some as low as $.69), the other big online music retailers followed suit.

I find it interesting the way that the Netbook form factor is evolving in size. After the early 7 and 9 inch models we quickly moved to the 10 inchers and then came the 12 inch models. Now we’re shoe horning the 11 inch (actually 11.6 inch) models in between. Acer has rolled out its [...]

Google has updated its GMail Mobile app for the iPhone and Android, and I have to say they’ve done an excellent job. In my limited testing (very limited) it is faster as advertised (after it loads-that can take a bit) and the UI changes on the iPhone just make sense. Mail is now cached locally [...]

If my experience is any indication of a trend, OEMs need to be very concerned about the impact of netbooks for businesses. Over the past several months, I’ve received inquiries from every single one of my business customers wanting to know about netbooks. They are pricing notebooks and are quickly coming to the conclusion that [...]
As expected and talked about previously, Apple’s iTunes has dropped the dreaded Digital Rights Managment (DRM) and added variable pricing to the iTunes store. There are now a range of prices ranging from $.69 a song up to $1.29. Of course the $1.29 price tag is for songs deemed hot and in demand, while [...]

Some may call it a confusing signal, and it is to a degree. But I think it is all about counting dollars and cents. Microsoft is once again extending the life of Windows XP to June 2010. Microsoft is also going to allow users to skip Windows Vista if they choose to downgrade from Windows [...]
OK, I want one of these. It is a bit on the pricey side ($130) but I want one. This messenger bag opens up and gives you a director’s chair to sit in. Supposedly it folds up to less than 4 inches in width. It is a bit on the heavy side at 9lbs, but [...]
