HP Mini Classmate PC Breaks Cover at Computex

, Jun 4th 2010 Discuss [0]

Are you one of the many just getting out of school? Or, perhaps you've been out of school for years, but you still wait patiently for all those back-to-school specials for other reasons. It's a great time for deals, surely, but it's also a great time to see what companies are working on for their appropriate markets. For example, we've got here the HP Mini Classmate PC, which, as far as we can tell, looks crafted as much as possible to be for the kids out there in need of a laptop. Read The Full Story

ZTE V7 Maemo MID gets video hands-on

, Jun 4th 2010 Discuss [0]

ZTE's Maemo-running V7 MID showed up last month in render form at the Shanghai World Expo, but the company had a working prototype this week at Computex.  ARMDevices grabbed a hands-on with the compact, 4-inch WVGA handheld - which is based on an 806MHz Marvell PXA310 chipset and has a dinky little thumb-keyboard under the touchscreen - and to our surprise it looks pretty good.

, Jun 4th 2010 Discuss [0]

Computex may have been overrun with tablets this year, but we spared some love for Intel's Canoe Lake ultra-thin netbook reference design too.  Packing Intel's new N550 CPU - along with a 10.1-inch display, 2GB of RAM and HD video capabilities - it's 14mm thick and quite the feat of engineering.  NetbookNews caught up with it for a second video demo.

Innoversal Lattice Tablet Shows Off Pixel Qi Display at Computex [Video]

, Jun 3rd 2010 Discuss [0]

Pixel Qi seemed to be all the rage just months ago, but over the days since, it's all but dropped off the radar. Sure, it's still out there, showing off its amazing ability to display things in direct sunlight, but with the Notion Ink Adam tablet seeing some major delays, it seems that all the fuss over the great screen implementation died with it. But, there's other companies out there using the technology, and at Computex this year, one such company wanted to show off their new tablet. Read The Full Story

Inventec Dr. Eye Gives the Android Based N18 a Ridiculous Name [Video]

, Jun 3rd 2010 Discuss [0]

Inventec's N18, or N18C, has been shown off more than a few times over the last year, but it's always kept to the standard title: some numbers, and a letter thrown in for good measure. Model numbers are a great way to name a product, but it's definitely better to give it some clever title. We might draw the line at Dr. Eye, though. It's a lot more unnerving than it probably needs to be. Read The Full Story

The tablet market is gradually growing, but if DigiLife have their way it'll go hand in hand with pico-projectors.  Charbax over at ARMDevices has been prowling the Computex floor, and has come up with the DigiLife iOne, a 10-inch capacitive touchscreen Android tablet that also has an integrated VGA-resolution pico-projector.

Huawei S7 shows up at Computex for some praise

, Jun 3rd 2010 Discuss [0]

If there's one thing Carrypad's Steve Paine knows, it's tablets, and so when he suggests the Huawei S7 "might just be tablet of the show" at Computex, we sit up and listen.  First spotted back in May, the S7 has a Streak-like form factor but squeezes in a 7-inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen, Android 2.1 and all the Google apps, together with voice call functionality.

Aiptek 3D Records HD Video in 3D for Those on a Budget

, Jun 2nd 2010 Discuss [0]

Computex is proving to be quite the interesting experience this year (not that it isn't every year). We've already seen quite a few cool things come out of Taiwan over the last couple of days, and while a 3D camcorder may not be at the top of your list of things to be looking for, we've got to at least admit that it's interesting, especially considering that high-definition video capturing part.

Thermaltake Challenger Pro Keyboard Packs in a Cooling Fan for Long Nights of Gaming

, Jun 2nd 2010 Discuss [1]

Cooling fans aren't new to the PC market. For most rigs, especially the high-profile gaming units out there, they're pretty much a necessity. Long hours, and constant usage can make any system overheat if it's not checked at constant intervals. But, we'll go ahead and admit that we never expected a keyboard to get the cooling fan treatment. Well, here's one after all. Read The Full Story

, Jun 2nd 2010 Discuss [0]

Yes, there are people out there that play video games for fun, and still there are others that play for money. Lots of money, actually. It's a pretty lucrative business decision, if you've got the chops to cut it against the cut-throat adversaries out there. Luckily enough, there are companies like Gigabyte out there who care enough to produce peripherals for the gaming elite, and that's why the Gigabyte M8000X is so special: it's got features to make any professional gamer out there a happy camper.

, Jun 2nd 2010 Discuss [0]

Intel have finally attached a timescale to their Moorestown based tablets and smartphones, suggesting that we'll need to wait six to twelve months before picking up one of the Atom Z6xx devices.  The processors bundle together 1.5GHz through to 1.9GHz CPU cores with HD-capable graphics, and according to Intel we can expect 8-10 hours of battery life in the average tablet.
