Dell's Adamo XPS is certainly a striking piece of tech - any notebook that thin is going to grab our attention, and that's before you add in a spytastic touch-strip to open it - but it turns out the company had even more ambitious plans initially. PC World managed to score some time with some of Dell's Adamo XPS prototypes, including versions with multitouch LCD trackpads and even a zero-profile touchscreen keyboard. Read The Full Story

Sharp's Mebius NJ70A is still too rich for our blood - $1,000 or thereabouts is simply too much to pay for a netbook, no matter how slick its touchscreen trackpad - but that doesn't mean we're not interested in lapping up all the information about the distinctive ultraportable that we can. UMPC Fever have acquired one of the Atom N270 netbooks and promptly shot a video unboxing. Unboxing video after the cut Read The Full Story
