Good news, bad news: Good news is Engadget China managed to get their hands on Lenovo’s ThinkPad roadmap for 2010, and the X201 Tablet PC is right there in the tablet tier. Bad news? It’s obviously just an update to the X200, and there appear to be no other Tablet PCs on the map. Yes, [...]
Just when you thought you’d seen everything, some industrious geek goes out and does something new. Citrix, the desktop and server virtualization company, has gone and done something, which I think its just great. They put Windows 7 on an iPad.

VentureBeat did a little interview with JooJoo headmeister Chandra Rathakrishnan to see if there was still a heartbeat left within the controversial Tablet project. According to Rahtakrishanan, the JooJoo is sort of on schedule to be put in customers’ hands by the end of February. The quick little interview contains a few more nuggets as [...]
TechCrunch has unearthed a concept video of Google’s ChromeOS running on a Tablet. Yes, that’s concept video as it shows ideas and concepts not execution. The video was found on a Google Chromium Project Page that contains a series of, yep, you guessed concept pictures. The Tablet looks almost JooJoo size in the concept, if [...]
It’s no surprise that the iPad couldn’t live up to all of the rumors that were being flung around. It’s a good thing that Steve Jobs toned things down a bit and put the iPad into perspective. Here’s a three minute description of the iPad from his point of view.
Thought these got killed on Wednesday, but looks like we didn’t stake them in the hearts, shoot them in the head, nail ‘em with silver bullets, or whatever it takes to take down these brain-eating, unkillable Apple Tablet rumors. First up, I thought the rumor about Apple partnering with Verizon was bashed with a baseball [...]

Acer Taiwan president Scott Lin stated straight out he has no plans to go head-on against the iPad based on the strength of its music and app stores. Kudos to Lin for understanding the game. Going against the iPad doesn’t just mean competing against the device. It also means going against its ecosystem, same problem [...]
Sliding keyboards aren’t exactly one of my favorite designs, but I give c0ff33 on the InsanelyWind forum credit for taking it in what I think is a smart direction and trying to get it done on his hacked MSI Wind tablet. Nothing to see of the slider just yet, but he’s got the display with [...]

I’m normally not a fan of interface overlays to make Windows work on a mobile PC. Inevitably, there’s a need to dig beneath the overlay, sticking you with a desktop-based interface. However, I think the ExoPC Slate with 8.9″ multi-touch screen may have remedied that problem by taking the overlay concept a necessary step further. [...]
At CES, we got a chance to sit down with folks from DisplayLink, as well as some other great bloggers, and find out what DisplayLink USB video adapters can do for us. For me, it offers something I haven’t been able to properly experience in years: an extended monitor on my Tablet PC. Let me [...]

Amazon reversed course on its spat with Macmillan Publishing and in a message has said that it will offer Macmillan’s books at the higher price. Amazon wants to charge $9.99. Macmillan wants a higher price of $14.99. Amazon had pulled all of Macmillan’s books last week as a counter move, but I guess that strategy [...]
This will prove interesting for those who follow Dan Lyons’ alter ego, Fake Steve Jobs. Om Malik caught up with him after the iPad event and Lyons doesn’t seem all that impressed with the iPad. Of course in his real life Lyons is a tech journalist for Newsweek. But as Fake Steve he pens some [...]
Talk about product placement. Stephen Colbert pulled an iPad out of some pocket or the other to read the nominees for best song of the year at the Grammys Sunday night. I’m sure that cost a pretty penny. Via TUAW
