The line between a netbook and a notebook used to be pretty straightforward, but with Intel’s increasingly powerful Atom processors and NVIDIA’s ambitious Ion-powered Optimus graphics, the distinction is more blurred. Typifying this new breed of netbook is ASUS’ Eee PC 1215N, a 12.1-inch Seashell-series machine that could well be considered a true ultraportable despite its roughly $500 price tag. Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.
The Windows 7 tablets continue to trickle out, and after the mediocre showing of CTL's 2goPAD, can TegaTech's Tega v2 do any better? The 10.1-inch multitouch slate runs an Intel Atom N455 1.66GHz processor, with 2GB of DDR3 RAM and GMA 3150 graphics, and the first units are already filtering out; long-standing tableteer Rob Bushway has been playing with one, while Pocket-Lint have another.

The Windows 7 tablets continue to trickle out, and there's good news and bad. The good news is that, if you've been waiting for a 10.1-inch slate with a capacitive touchscreen, Atom N450 processor and 2GB of RAM, then CTL can help: their CTL 2goPAD is on sale now, priced at $499. The bad news is that it isn't all that great.

Intel may have had its first $11bn quarter, but that doesn't mean it's resting on its laurels. In the company's financial results call, CEO Paul Otellini specifically referenced Apple's domination of the tablet category with the iPad, and said that Intel would "use all of the assets at our disposal to win this segment."

Unlike Toshiba, Acer has been more tentative in its Android netbook adoption, offering a few dual-booting machines - the Acer Aspire One D260 being one of the most recent - but no Android-only versions. Now, though, they're committing to Google's open-source OS a little more; according to DigiTimes, the company intends to make all future dual-core netbooks dual-booting between Windows 7 and Android.

It's fair to say we've waited quite a while since the last HTC Shift mod; the dual-mode Windows Vista/PDA ultraportable tablet was last seen flirting with Windows 7 before its quiet demise. Now some of the guys over at xda-developers are hoping to resurrect its usefulness with an injection of Mac OS X.

Eking's M5 UMPC has been a few months in coming, since its first teasing photos on Chinese forums, but the 5-inch ultraportable has finally dropped for a review over at UMPC Fever. For the equivalent of around $772 you get an Intel Atom Z515 1.2GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, a 16GB SSD and 3G, along with a backlit, full QWERTY keyboard. That's expensive, especially when you make the inevitable iPad comparisons, though Eking have added in a few neat touches.

The stand-out hardware at IDF 2010 last week was probably Dell's hybrid netbook/tablet, the Inspiron Duo, but that's not to say there weren't other gadgets lurking at the show which were also interesting. Carrypad spotted the NFS N-Pad, a Moorestown based tablet demonstrated running Android.

Intel's tiny chip ambitions have been revealed, thanks to a roadmap forecast slide the company prepared for IDF 2010 this past week.

Intel love whipping out low-power ultramobile devices, since they know that they - like the Dell Inspiron DUO - get all the attention at shows like IDF 2010. On stage today they've had a fair few to play with, too; Aava's smartphone got a brief flaunting, together with a gaming-centric handheld and a few different slates (as well as Neofonie's WeTab).
