The Apple iPad is the first blockbuster tablet computer. While companies have been pumping out Windows tablets for the last 10 years or so, none has gotten as much attention as the iPad, and while I don’t have the sales numbers, I’m not aware of any other model that sold 300,000 units on the first […]
Lenovo Skylight smartbook launch date pushed back to July
When Lenovo introduced the Skylight smartbook in January, the company said it would come to market in April. But Laptop Magazine is reporting today that it won’t be available in the US market until July. At first glance, the Skylight looks like an oddly shaped netbook with a large keyboard, enormous touchpad, and super-slim design. […]
Video shows what you can do with an Eee Keyboard — but not when you can buy one
Asus has been teasing us with a computer-in-a-keyboard called the Eee Keyboard since early last year. The computer has yet to make it to market, but Asus did put out a short promotional video this week that shows just what you would do with a device like the Eee Keyboard. Basically, the Eee Keyboard is […]
MSI Wind L1300, L1350 now available for purchase
A few days ago MSI added a few new mini-laptops to its lineup. And while I’m still having a tough time figureing out how the L1300, L1350, and L2300 are different from the MSI Wind U130, U135, and U230, one thing seems to be clear: You can now go ahead and order several of the […]
CTL to launch a $499 2GoPC Slate this summer
Like virtually every other PC vendor on the planet, the folks at CTL are preparing to launch a tablet this summer. But there are a few reasons this one might actually be worth checking out. First, CTL has been working with Intel’s Classmate PC netbook reference design for the past few years. That includes several […]
Apple introduces iPhone OS 4.0 developer preview
Apple introduced the next generation operating system for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad today. It won’t be available to the general public until this summer, and iPad users won’t get the update until this fall. But the company launched a developer preview today, which makes sense since it will give developers time to create […]

A few weeks after launching the Samsung N150 Corby netbook with bright new color options in Italy, Samsung is bringing the new colors to the US. You can pick up a Corby netbook in “Bermuda Blue,” “Flamingo Pink,” or “Caribbean Yellow” from Amazon or Best Buy. Amazon is selling all three colors for $319.99 + […]
Intel to launch next-gen ULV processors later this year
Last time I checked with Intel, I was told that the company planned to launch updated versions of its CULV (Consumer Ultra Low Voltage) chips in the third quarter of this year. These processors typically end up in thin and light notebooks with 11 to 15 inch displays such as the Asus UL20A, Acer Aspire […]
Apple may be working on a smaller iPad
Thinking about picking up an iPad, but put off by its 1.5 pound weight and large 9.7 inch display? It looks like you might have a chance soon. DigiTimes reports that Apple may be working on a 5 to 7 inch model that will cost around $400 or less. One of the biggest complaints I’ve […]
You don’t have to remove iPad, netbooks from bags at American airports
I noticed a story making the rounds yesterday about how the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) had decided that travelers would be able to keep their iPads in their bags while passing through X-Ray machines. And I kind of ignored the news… until I noticed that it’s not just iPads, but all electronics smaller than a […]
