Nintendo’s non-traditional interface for the Wii console lends itself to any number of odd controller hacks and designs, and the latest is this prototype Wiispray can. Part of Martin Lihs’ final thesis at Bauhaus-University in Weimar, Germany, the can-style casing contains a dismembered Wiimote coupled to a nozzle button. It can be used to manipulate an [...]
Leaving it tucked in among the various models of Eee, ASUS has also brought this full-sized notebook prototype to Computex. While at first glance it seems to be notable for its impressively deep forehead, the reason for the blocky brow is a built-in pico projector that can be used for impromptu presentations. The projector unit swivels [...]
Not much detail as yet on this one, but ostensibly it appears to be a prototype or reference design for a UMPC with a 3D screen. The display panel itself apparently can be used without needing special glasses, and is the collaborative product of Masterimage and KDC, of whom Telson are an affiliate. As for [...]
AMD know better than to launch a new processor without a few slick prototypes to demonstrate it with, and the most eye-catching at Computex has been this dinky UMPC.

We usually leave cellphone news to our sister sites PHONE Magazine and SlashPhone, but the Android handset - complete with compass-navigated Street View [...]
Looks like Dell aren’t content to see rivals sweep through the budget ultraportable market, and want to pick up some market share themselves. The company has confirmed - but only just - that it’s working on a “mini Inspiron” with no official name, spec list or pricing details. However Michael Dell himself told Brian Lam [...]
We’re still waiting for the full details from Vincent at the Google IO Keynote, but we wanted to share these first live photos and video of the latest touchscreen Android prototype. Things have certainly moved on since the last version of the OS we saw: back then Google basically asked us to look past the slightly [...]
If you’re looking for a laptop that nobody else will have - and that will interest everybody - ignore the MacBook Air, any Tablet PC or even Alienware’s super-strength gaming notebooks. Instead, stick a bid in for this Xentex prototype currently up on eBay: at first glance it looks like it should be a mockup, but [...]
