We’ve seen a lot of super-slim, super-sexy nettops from Chinese PC maker Giada recently. But the company also makes netbooks — albeit slightly less inspiring ones. Johannes from NewGadgets.de got a good look at the Giada VIVA-NE200 at CeBIT earlier this month. You can check out his hands-on video after the break. In a nutshell, […]
ibis Reader: eBook reader for the iPad already available
There are well over 100,000 apps in the iTunes app store. While they’re designed for the iPhone and iPod Touch, these apps will work on the iPad the day it starts shipping (which should be in just a few weeks).

Commodore keyboard PC: The Eee Keyboard doesn’t have much to worry about
One upon a time, the Commodore name was synonymous with PCs that fit snugly into a (bulky) keyboard. And if one guy has anything to say about it, the Commodore name will rise again. Commodore USA is a new company that’s working to get the rights to use the name for a shiny new PC-in-a-keyboard. […]

LG X300 notebook display uses Corning “Gorilla glass”
Corning is probably better known for making glassware and ceramics than computer components. But apparently Corning is branching out. The LG X300 thin and light notebook is the first computer to feature Corning Gorilla glass in the display. Gorilla Glass is described as “an environmentally friendly alkali-aluminosilicate thin sheet glass” for portable displays. The glass […]
Fujitsu MH380 dresses up in pink — looks even sillier
The Fujitsu MH380 netbook features a distinctive design with a tiny touchpad and a large circular area for scrolling. But apparently Fujitsu decided the netbook’s red and black color scheme wasn’t eye-catching enough, because now the MH380 is available in pink… with hearts strewn across the lid. Seriously. Under the hood, the pink MH380 hasn’t […]
