By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Mar 11th 2009 No CommentsGigabyte’s M1028 convertible touchscreen netbook has cleared the FCC, complete with Intel Atom N280 1.66GHz processor, up to 2GB of RAM, a maximum 250GB HDD storage and optional 3G and/or WiMAX data connections. Listed under the product name Gigabyte M1028 CafeBook, rather than “Touch Note” as we’ve seen before, the manual also lists the display as 8.9 rather than 10-inches; we’re presuming that’s an error rather than an actual spec-change.
Slimline Acer Aspire One ZG8 AO530 clears FCC
By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Mar 10th 2009 No CommentsThe slimline version of the Acer Aspire One netbook has cleared the FCC, suggesting that it’s scheduled for a US release. Hardware specifications are unclear from the filing, but according to earlier reports include Intel’s 1.6Ghz Atom N270 CPU, 1GB of RAM and a 160GB hard-drive. The FCC filing does indicate a 3G SIM slot, however, suggesting that the netbook will have integrated WWAN broadband.

By Chris Davies on Thursday, Mar 5th 2009 No CommentsThe next model in Samsung’s UMPC range, the Samsung NP-Q1EX, has been revealed, after the 7-inch touchscreen device was spotted at the FCC. Dropping the QWERTY thumb-board from the Q1 Ultra, the Q1EX gets a slimmed-down casing, VIA’s 1.2GHz Nano ULV U2500 processor and Chrome9 HC graphics, 2GB of 667MHz DDR2 RAM and an integrated SiRF Star GPS receiver.
Toshiba TG5-E01 clears FCC: clamshell TG01 smartphone?
By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Mar 4th 2009 No CommentsA Snapdragon-based Toshiba smartphone has cleared the FCC, but it’s not the TG01 we’re already familiar with. In fact, while Toshiba and the FCC have seemingly used the TG01 for their photoset, the user manual for the device – which is called the Toshiba TM5-E01, though that’s presumed not to be the final product name – suggests it’s considerably thicker and most likely a clamshell handset.
ASUS Eee PC 1004DN with DVD burner clears FCC
By Chris Davies on Monday, Mar 2nd 2009 No CommentsWhen ASUS brought their Eee PC 1004DN along to CES 2009 back in January, they were careful to point out that the optical drive-toting netbook was only going to launch in Europe and China. Unfortunately they obviously weren’t as clear with their own staff as they were with the press, as the 1004DN has been spotted clearing the FCC.
LG LBA-C300 Bluetooth keyboard for cellphones: ideal for watch phone
By Chris Davies on Friday, Feb 6th 2009 No CommentsThe FCC have passed an LG mobile peripheral, the “LG LBA-C300 Bluetooth enabled Qwerty Card”, which at its most basic can be used as a wireless keyboard with LG cellphones. However the LBA-C300 also has its own integrated display, and as such allows users to read new messages, and compose replies, without needing to take out their handset.
10-inch Acer Aspire One D150 clears FCC
By Chris Davies on Thursday, Feb 5th 2009 No CommentsThe 10-inch Acer Aspire One D150 has cleared the FCC, suggesting a US launch could be imminent. As well as the hardware of the netbook itself – which began showing up for preorder late last week - the FCC have also published the quick-start guide which walks new owners through the ports and connectivity options – WiFi and Bluetooth as standard – of their new machine.
Obama calls for digital tv switch to be delayed
By Shawn Farner on Friday, Jan 9th 2009 No CommentsYou’ve probably heard about the looming switch from analog television signals to all-digital signals. At the end of the broadcast day on February 17, televison stations will stop broadcasting their analog signals. Or will they? Barack Obama is calling for an extension to the February 17 deadline. More after the jump.
FIC CW001 10.4-inch netbook clears FCC
By Chris Davies on Thursday, Jan 1st 2009 No CommentsWith the netbook segment over-saturated with options, it’s proving difficult for manufacturers to differentiate their machines. Sadly FIC’s 10.4-inch CW001, freshly revealed by the FCC, doesn’t quite manage it, with the same old Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz processor, up to 2GB of DDR2 RAM, 2.5-inch SATA-II hard-drive and an ExpressCard slot. Unfortunately, contrary to some reports, there’s no integrated optical drive (which would have at least given the CW001 something to crow about).
