The HS1 series will measure just 1.8 inches with 16, 32, and 64GB capacities and will use single-level cell NAND flash memory. Read / write speeds are spinner-like 100MBps and 50MBps respectively and [...]

I swear that some people spend more time typing on cell phones than they do on their computers. That would certainly explain why I-O Data has created this tiny Bluetooth 2.0 keyboard designed specifically for mobile phones.
I honestly can’t see how something this small would be very benificial to someone. It will cost a whopping [...]

Thinking of a new Eee PC or maybe Wind laptop? Hold up, Dell’s about to loose this baby on the sub-$500 mini-laptop world. All we’ve got are these pictures for now but the specs can’t be far behind. Even the name “mini-Inspiron” comes from the file name of the Dell-supplied pics. However, if what [...]

PixelQi, an OLPC project spin-off headed by Mary Lou Jepsen, certainly has its work cut out for it with the OLPC XO-2, due in 2010. Not only is the laptop supposed to support dual touchscreens and consume a mere 1 watt of power, but Mary Lou is also promising better readability, multitouch, and potentially even [...]

Oh, snap. As if it weren’t official enough already, the subnote war is on. According to a Computex invitation from ASUS, the outfit is planning to not only showcase the Eee PC 901, but also a brand new variant that will likely go mano a mano with the 10-inch MSI Wind. We quote: “[ASUS] would [...]

Onkyo has made an interesting entry into the super-stylish wireless desktop market with their ridiculously good-looking KM-2W keyboard and mouse. They both feature a brushed aluminum surface in a gun-metal color, but I have to say it is the keyboard that has my attention.
Going from images alone it is easy to distinguish that the 106-key [...]

Technology and scaled down computers are finding their ways into more and more ubiquitous items in our lives. From RFID clothing tags and eBooks (Kindle) to running monitors (Nike/iPod) and even cars that respond to your voice (Ford Sync). Why not get a daily does of information stimulation while you have your morning brew? That’s [...]

MSI has been teasing us with its Atom-based laptops and desktops for some time now, so it’s only right that they finally give it up and let some journalist rip open a Wind for some straight-up circuit porn. Confirmed on the board are the aforementioned Atom 230 processor, 1GB DDR2-533 RAM, a 160GB SATA drive, [...]

Good news for fans of eyesores and obnoxious advertisements: the world’s biggest LED billboard is currently being constructed in Times Square in New York, and it’s going to sell you stuff or punch you in the face with lights trying. The gigantic sign stands a whopping 212 feet high, weights 250,000 pounds, and has 12 [...]

There’s nothing worse than watching TV when suddenly a really bad show or infomercial comes on and the remote is nowhere to be found. It is at this point you begin to ponder whether or not your couch can actually eat objects. The problem is that remotes are rather small, and can easily be misplaced [...]

Earlier in the year, well-known electronics manufacturer Asus actually split into three separate divisions. One of those divisions (now known as Pegatron) has a dedicated design department called PEGA who recently created 8 different interactive concept products under the theme of ‘Between On&Off’. One of those concepts was this Look@Me keyboard for instant messaging which [...]

Digital Camera 101: As manufacturers continue pushing the Megapixel Myth by stuffing more and more pixels onto rapidly shrinking sensors, the outcome is poor performance on top of poorly lit images of increasingly low quality. Now OmniVision, the largest CMOS image sensor manufacturer today, says they’ve solved the pixel size problem though backside illumination (BSI) [...]

It looks like those wanting something a bit more capable but just as brightly-colored as Willcom’s most recent candybar phones could soon be getting their fix, as the company has just announced its new Willcom 03 smartphone, which packs a bundle of features into an eye-catching package. Up front and center on this one is [...]

While it likely won’t hold onto the (slightly dubious) title for long at the rate mini-projectors are cropping up these days, Hong Kong-based Earth Trek has nonetheless gone out and proclaimed its new 90-805R projector to be the “world’s smallest” and, indeed, it is small. Measuring about 4 by 2 inches, the projector can apparently [...]

Touting it as the World’s Fastest and Largest Capacity 2.5-inch, MLC-based (256GB) SSD with SATA II Interface, Samsung has a pretty neat solid-state drive in its hands.

You never really know what all will emerge from a simple interview, and thanks to a recent sit-down with Canonical chief executive Mark Shuttleworth, we now know that a build of Ubuntu tailored for ultraportables (or subnotes, as it were) is just around the bend. According to Mr. Shuttleworth, the aforesaid software will be announced [...]

For the frequent travelers, the weather will always affect your traveling schedule. It’s always a need to learn the weather of a few days ahead.
