Archos 5 Internet Tablet
This tablet computer, equipped with a 5″ touchscreen, bridges the gap between a smartphone and an UMPC. It’s not a fully functional mini tablet pc, though, it’s intended for web surfing only. The display has a resolution of 800×480. It’s equipped with a Wifi connection. No word on 3G, but it should be possible to [...]
The Ultimate Gaming Laptop
Could this be the most powerfull gaming laptop ever? Check out some of the specs:
Intel Core 2 Extreme Quad Core QX9300 CPU
8GB Ultra Speed DDR3 1333MHz Ram
500GB HDD or 128GB SSD (I’d go for the 500GB)
NVIDIA Geforce 9800M GT graphics with 512MB DDR3 memory
Blu-ray drive (seems pretty useless for a gaming computer at the moment)
15.4″ [...]
Waves iGTR Portable Amp
An electric guitar is nothing without an amp, and if you really wanna rock you need some effect boxes. This usually means a big setup complete with cable spaghetti. This portable amplifier and effects processor is a lot more convenient. It’s about the size of a portable audio player, battery-powered and has three modulation effects [...]
Open Source UMPC
Most UMPCs (ultra mobile personal computers) run on Windows Mobile or something similar. The Pandora, however, is different. It is powered by Linux (probably a modified Debian distribution, but not certain yet). The device is still in development but should be available soon. The following image is a rendering of what it will look like:
The [...]
New Gigabyte UMPC
Gigabyte’s new UMPC, the M528, has finally received its price tag. It will cost $750 when it gets launched in Taiwan. The computer will have an 800Mhz CPU, 800×480 resolution touch screen, an autofocus camera, 4 gigabytes of storage space, GPS navigation and 3G network capabilities.
To me, this looks more like an oversized cellphone. A [...]
Asus EEE PC 900 comparison
The following video compares the new Asus EEE PC 900 with the older 700 model. The most notable difference, of course, is the larger display. Also demonstrated is the multi-touch system, wich means you can operate the touchpad with 2 fingers at the same time.
Another significant difference is the upgraded storage. The 700 had only [...]
Asus EEE Desktop PC
One of the most talked about gadgets of the moment is the Asus EEE laptop, a cheap, small and light laptop. Because of its popularity, Asus decided to design an EEE desktop computer, the EEE Box. No picture is available yet, but it’s supposed to be about the the size of a book.
The computer will [...]
FC Mobile Portable Console
Here’s another more or less useless gadget. This portable gaming console can play original NES games. That’s right, you can put those old, huge cartridges in it to play them. Why this is such a bad idea? One, a NES cartridge is twice the size of the console itself. Two, there are plenty of emulators [...]
Really tiny portable harddrive
Wow! Now that’s what I call a portable harddrive! And it’s got a decent capacity: 500 Gb! I have a 500 gig external harddrive on my desk and it’s the size of a book. This drive is aimed at mobile users and is entirely bus-powered. Unfortunately, it has only Firewire connectors (Firewire 400 and 800), [...]
iPod Shuffle Killer?
iPod killers have been announced before, and even though this one isn’t exactly competition for the full-size iPod, it definitely is for the iPod Shuffle and maybe even for the iPod Nano! The Sansa Express is a 1 gigabyte MP3 player with oled display and FM radio that plugs directly in the USB port, like [...]
