Sanyo has announced another fiendishly-complicated looking GPS system with an unusual name.  The NV-SD585DT ‘Gorilla’ has a 5.8-inch touchscreen, 4GB SSD and a 1-Seg digital TV tuner.  There’s also an ECO driving mode, as seen recently on Digitalcube’s U7 GPS.

It only really took Vista to make thousands of geeks look more fondly at Windows XP, and so Microsoft’s announcement that it would be maintaining the last-gen OS for use on low-power netbooks was well received.  The devil, of course, is in the details, and that’s an area Microsoft excels in: one of their more [...]

Industrial design student Gregory Siegal is sick and tired of people taking photos and leaving them languishing in random folders on their PC.  His LifeMap concept takes the form of a super-skinny touchscreen PC that can use geographical data and tags to display different timelines and memory sets.

Sony have been granted a patent for a portable, handheld device that uses a haptic feedback system.  However, unlike the traditional so-called haptics available on a number of cellphones, which basically vibrate the handset whenever you press its touchscreen, the Sony system uses an array of individually controlled “tactile pixels” that physically press through the display.  [...]

HP’s TouchSmart PC may not have MultiTouch but it’s still proving popular; despite the $1,249.99 starting price tag I’ve heard many people say they plan on picking one up.  The 22-inch high-definition desktop was meant to launch on July 13th, but according to HP’s online store the IQ504 model and IQ506 model are actually shipping today.

Kohjinsha are no strangers to the pages of SlashGear, and given their track record of producing interesting ultraportable tablets it’s little surprise that they’ve had a try at Atom-based ultraportables.  The SC3 and SX3 are two compact convertibles, the former with a 7-inch 1024 x 600 touchscreen and the latter with an 8.9-inch 1280 x [...]

Panasonic are readying their own Atom-based UMPC, although the device will bear little resemblance to the slick, compact handhelds we’re used to.  Fitting into the company’s ToughBook range, the as-yet unnamed ultraportable will be a touchscreen-based ruggedized tablet, using rubber covers and a protective casing to keep the UMPC functional in extreme conditions.

Onda’s VX777+ PMP is, quite obviously, designed to resemble the iPod Touch.  That’s clear, but then plenty of manufacturers give a nod to Apple when it comes to the drawing board; more important, then, is what functionality it brings to the table.  Pride of place at the top of the spec list is a 3-inch [...]

If you read the first part of our Microsoft Surface Blogger Day report, you’ll know that SlashGear has been hanging out with the Seattle company’s nifty MultiTouch table.  You’ve hopefully had a chance to watch the videos of Surface in action - exploring cellphone details, playing multi-user games, exploring media and more - and, if [...]
