Rich Miner is the Group Manager for Mobile Platforms at Google and he thinks that Android will outsell the iPhone. I’m not saying it won’t, I mean they have 4 device manufacturers to Apple’s one.
These two new eBook readers coming out of Taiwan should start offering up some better prices and more competition to the Kindle and other players like it thus driving down the price. Personally I’m not much of a reader, which is kind of funny all things considered, so this whole market is lost on me, [...]
They came, they saw, they failed. Linux PC’s just didn’t sell enough units in stores to warrant restocking them in stores. That means that as soon as your local stores run out of stock of their Everex computers, you won’t be seeing them again.
It’s a little bigger, but the concepts are the same. It has an 8 or 10 inch screen, a fair sized keyboard and is based on Intel’s Shelton platform with processors ranging from 1 to 1.5 Gigahertz.
It has a 1.86GHz Intel dual core mobile processor (its model number is T2130 which signifies a new Core 2 Duo chip, but it could be the older Pentium D chips). It also has a half gig of RAM, 120GB HDD, a DVD Burner, gigabit Ethernet and more.
Apparently HP thinks so, they’ve taken it upon themselves to contract out 2 million units to Wistron. In case you’ve already forgotten, the 2133 is the Eee-like notebook that HP is going to start selling later this year.
This newest version of the Linutop ups the processor to a 500MHz Geode, it also has a half gig of RAM and a gig of flash storage. Even better yet, there is a VESA mounting bracket built into the thing so you can mount it to your favorite LCD monitor.
Alas, one of the other major PC manufacturers is getting into the UMPC space, well not really, it might just be semantics, but I’d call this and ultra-portable, not a UMPC. It’s the Compaq 2133 and its being made to compete with the Asus Eee, although hopefully it won’t have the same superbly generic hardware [...]
It’s being called the “One” laptop and will be launched at the Education Show in Birmingham on the 28th. It will be Linux based, have a 3 hours battery life, and WiFi.
Not much is known about the mysterious competitor from Acer, but we know they ordered 1 million of them from contract manufacturer Wistron. On top of that we know that they will have 7 or 9 inch screens and will cost about $470.
