750GB hard drives by Seagate
Seagate has leaked its information on its new upcoming 750GB Barracuda drives. Available in both PATA and SATA configurations, these drives are based on new perpendicular recording technology ranging from 200GB to 750GB in capacity.

Motorola’s Mesh Networking With 802.11s Standards-Ready MeshConnex(TM) Networking Technology
Motorola today announced that its proven MeshConnex networking technology will support the final 802.11s meshing standard being developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (IEEE). Due to its
flexible architecture, Motorola customers will be able to configure their MeshConnex powered products to be compliant with the 802.11s standard via over-the-air software downloads. Motorola's MeshConnex technology powers a wide variety of the company's products, including its Mesh Enabled Architecture (MEA(R)) and MOTOMESH(TM) multi-radio broadband systems.
When WiFi hot spots are "meshed," they turn into a powerful, interconnected network that can blanket a campus, downtown or entire city with wireless broadband access. Mesh-enabled access points not only deliver WiFi to users, they also act as router/repeaters for other access points in the network. The result is a self-forming, self-healing wireless broadband cloud that reduces the cost of backhaul, deployment and system engineering.

Acer and Webaroo
A company called Webaroo is expected to annouce a deal with Acer to sell laptops preloaded with a snapshot of the internet, in its 40GB harddrive. The internet cache is stored in an offline search. I believe this idea is not that much useful, especially getting your hard drive stuffed with all the unwanted information, since we all have Internet connections all the time.
Lamp and computer together
V12 made this computer, that doubles as a basic table lamp. It's kinda interesting, you would still wonder what is the hardware inside it. But it sure is more interesting than a micro hi-fi.
Kanguru’s 16GB,32GB and 64G Flash Drive Max
If you think a 2.5 inch hard disc with 60GB capacity isn't small enough, try the Kanguru's 64GB Flash drive max, for $2800. It runs on USB 2.0 interface and boasts a 9MB/sec read and 5/MB sec write speeds. There are smaller capacity models, 32GB and 16GB, for $1500 and $800. About $100 for 2GB, that must be pretty insane!

Fujitsu’s Creative UMPC Concept
Fujitsu is showing off its unique take on the UMPC at the Japanese Design Exhibition in Milan this week. It's tiny and small enough to fit your pocket. The design of the UMPC does reminds you something like a Gamboy Advance SP, doesn't it?
Apple allows its users to run Windows
Well, nothing much to comment about this, but we all know the latest Mac runs on Intel x86 type processors, so that means it would work for both Mac and Windows, its just great that Apple have implemented this idea now, just like how a PC would have a Linux and Windows bootup.
SideShow to be included in Windows Media Center remote controls
Microsoft will include its SideShow technology in its Windows Media Center remote controls. This allows users to visually access a PC’s electronic programming guide (EPG). It can be connected via WiFi, Bluetotoh, Zigbee, Z-Wave, Ethernet. Since Windows Vista is launching in 2007, this maybe another obsolete feature by then.
