Rugged computers generally look like a cross between the Michelin Man and some sort of inflatable life-raft, so it’s nice to see a notebook that wears its shock-resistance discretely.  To be fair to the competition, the Getac 9213 is described as “business rugged”, which means while its full magnesium allow chassis and case, and shock-mounted [...]

Earlier on today we told you about Viliv’s Korean prices and specifications for their upcoming S7 convertible touchscreen UMPC; now we have word on the international versions.  Not only will these offer the same Intel Atom Z520 1.33GHz processor, but there’ll also be a “flagship” model with a 2.0GHz Atom processor (likely the Z550), a [...]

UK carrier Orange may not have secured the Palm Pre, but from the sound of it they don’t really mind; their next high-end device is far more unusual than a simple slider smartphone.  The carrier has revealed that it will be exclusively offering LG’s GD910 Watch Phone in the UK this August, complete with capacitive touchscreen and [...]

Sony’s VAIO P was never the netbook many people expected it to be – its unusual screen aspect, stand-out form-factor and high sticker price meant it never quite competed with the regular Atom N270 netbook crowd – so the company is back with a far more mainstream alternative.  The Sony VAIO W is an “internet [...]

Magellan have officially launched their latest PND, the Maestro 4700, a little over a month since it was spotted clearing the FCC.  The 4700 has a 4.7-inch touchscreen together with voice command and Bluetooth with a noise-canceling microphone.

Dell Japan have officially announced the Vostro 1220, the budget notebook we saw leaked earlier this month.  The 12.1-inch 1280 x 800 notebook uses processors from Intel’s Centrino 2 range, together with the GM45 Express chipset, weighs 1.52kg and promises up to 9hrs runtime from the larger 6-cell battery option.

Jabra have announced two new wireless headset systems aimed more at deskbound workers wanting to cut their phone cords than true mobile users.  The Jabra GO 6400 (shown here) and PRO 9400 use Bluetooth and DECT respectively, and come complete with a base station with an integrated 2.4-inch capacitive touchscreen display.

We’re not entirely convinced by the name 22Moo, but now that iPhone OS 3.0 supports third-party peripherals we’re sure we could find some bag-space for their GameBone Pro controller.  Intended to be used with an iPhone or iPod touch, the GameBone Pro hooks up via Bluetooth or Apple’s dock-connector, and has an 8-way D-pad plus [...]

AT&T have announced the Motorola Karma QA1, an entry-level slider with full QWERTY keyboard and homescreen access to Facebook and MySpace.  Aimed, unsurprisingly, at teenagers and young adults, the Karma has a 2.5-inch 240 x 320 display, 3.6Mbps HSDPA, a microSD card slot and 2-megapixel camera with video recording functionality.
There’s also A-GPS, and AT&T load their Navigator [...]
