Pixel Qi isn’t the only company at CES showing low power displays that can easily be read outdoors. While Pixel Qi’s solution allows you to turn on the backlight for a full color LCD experience or turn it off for a low power, high contrast grayscale screen, Qualcomm’s Mirasol solution is a color display that’s viewable in […]

OpenPeak introduces OpenTablet 10 with transflective display
While I was busy checking out OpenPeak’s 7 inch Android tablet yesterday, the company was busy announcing a new 10 inch model called the OpenTablet 10.

Hands-on with the LG P210 12.5 inch portable notebook
The LG P210 is one of the first thin and light laptops with a 12.5 inch display. But that’ not its only claim to fame. The little laptop also has one of the smallest screen bezels around, and a super-slim design. I spotted the P210 at the Microsoft booth today, and it’s a nice looking […]
OLPC XO tablet features a Marvell CPU, boring design
The folks at One Laptop per Child appear to be taking a different approach toward their next-generation hardware. In fact, the next XO product won’t be a laptop at all. Instead it will be a tablet. And instead of designing the tablet in-house like it did the original XO Laptop, OLPC is working with chip […]

Samsung’s crazy laptop with transparent display might ship this year
Samsung was showing off one of the coolest pieces of technology I’ve ever seen in real life at CES this year: A laptop with a fully functional semi-transparent OLED display. In other words, you can see what’s on the display, but you can also look right through the screen to see what’s behind it. The […]
MSI Wind U160 unboxed – Video
MSI announced a handful of new 10 inch netbooks with Intel Atom N450 processors in January. The MSI Wind U160 is probably the most attractive of the bunch. I got a chance to play with one for a few minutes at CES, but Johannes at NewGadgets.de did me one better and he got MSI to […]
First look at the MSI Wind Box DE220 nettop
I got a chance to check out the recently announced MSI Wind Box DE220 nettop while I was at CES earlier this month. And then I kept forgetting to upload the pictures. So here you go. The small form factor desktop PC comes with a choice of a single core 1.66GHz Intel Atom D410 or […]
