CES: ARM demos Cortex-A9 chip - the heart of future Apple devices?
Those nice processor designers over at ARM are using giant trade show CES to exhibit their forthcoming Cortex-A9 chip reference design - and eyes on site tell us the chip more than holds its own against the 1.6GHz Atom processor it’s put up against.
The Cortex-A9 does seem slightly slower than the Intel Atom - but consider this: the ARM chip runs at 500MHz compared to the Atom's 1.6GHz.
Why should this be of interest to you? Apple's iPhone as well as many competing devices (including the just released Nexus One) are presently powered by ARM processors

Apple's iPhone, iPod success threatens flash memory drought - iSuppli
Apple’s continued success with iPhone and iPod sales continues to drain global flash memory supplies, according to industry analysts at iSuppli.Analyst Carlo Ciriello has gone so far as to warn that Apple’s continued hunger for the component - potentially to also see use in the much-vaunted Apple tablet device - could cause a global shortage of flash memory."If Apple Inc. even comes in close to its forecasted run-rate, there will definitely be shortages of NAND flash in 2010," he warns. It may not go so far, but the analyst does anticipate limited availability of flash memory in the year ahead while manufacturers tweak their production facilities."With inventories having been brought d

Apple has now confirmed itself to have purchased mobile advertising company Quattro, prompting Paul Feng, Google's Group product manager, to write: "When we announced our planned acquisition of AdMob in November, we noted that the mobile advertising space is highly competitive - with more than a dozen mobile ad networks.”

Orange France boss confirms iPhone tidal wave, data surge, but happy to invest in infrastructure (AT&T?)
Apple’s fortunes in France mean that the iPhone accounted for an impressive 77 percent of mobiles sold with a contract by France Telecom’s Orange brand across the holiday season, confirmed the head of the company.
The immense popularity of the device has caused demands for data usage on the carrier's network to climb exponentially - but the message to O2 (in the UK) and AT&T (in the US) is that Orange isn't scared to invest in boosting network capacity, the company chief explains.
Orange is owned by France Telecom, whose CEO, Didier Lombard told French business paper, Les Echos, that his company’s end-of-year sales reached a ‘historic’ level, with iPhones flying out of Orange doors.

CES: Microsoft's Ballmer ups the Apple ante with HP tablet tease

Tablet teasers: Steep learning curve, component costs estimates
We’re all ga-ga on the Apple tablet right now - even competitors just can’t seem to keep their excitement to themselves as they introduce a raft of products they hope can out-innovate Cupertino. Two fresh reports add yet more insight into Apple’s tablet tease, with one website claiming the device will be completely unlike anything seen before, with a “steep learning curve” for users navigating the UI.
Cult Of Mac this morning informs us the new Apple device “probably won’t” feature a 3D interface, but will offer some new form of user control - with a tipster telling the Leander Kahney-run website that we should be prepared to put some time into learning how to use the tablet.

CES: Apple tablet - no Intel inside, says The Street

Liquavista shows off low-power, color e-paper display
This one's still a ways away from landing in an actual e-reader (although that prototype above does made an admirable attempt at redefining the bezel), but Liquavista's latest stab at a color e-paper display is at least ready enough for a demo video, and it doesn't exactly disappoint. Unfortunately, Liquavista isn't offering much in the way of firm details, but the display is supposedly "ultra-low power," sunlight-readable and, as you can see for yourself after the break, it seems to be fairly speedy when it comes to browsing and scrolling.

Samsung Apps opens home theater devices to software developers

Freescale, Adobe and Movial team up for Flash 10.1 on i.MX platforms
What goes better with a brand new Freescale smartbook reference design than a little Flash? An actual price and a release date, maybe, but Flash isn't too shabby either. That, naturally, comes courtesy of a little help from Adobe, who worked with Freescale and Movial to get Flash 10.1 up and running on Freescale's i.MX51 family of processors -- which, incidentally, power a range of other mobile devices in addition to smartbooks you can't buy. Still nothing in the way of demos or anything, unfortunately, but Freescale says that the first devices ready to support Flash 10.1 will indeed be smartbooks.

Samsung TL210 and TL205 bring DualView to entry level shooters
Most manufacturers have yet to offer even one camera with a front-facing LCD, but that hasn't stopped Samsung from adding two more models to its growing range. Having started the DualView antics with its TL220 and 225 variants, Sammy is now augmenting the line with the TL205 and 210 which, in spite of their lower numbering, possess a feature the older cams do not. Using the new hardware, you'll be able to compose video as well as stills on the 1.5-inch front LCD, an added bit of functionality that should go over well with the target audience of party-loving hipsters.

Samsung's WiFi-enabled CL80 adds touch of AMOLED to 14MP sensor

Samsung overhauls camcorder line, has something for everyone
Keeping up the torrent of digital imaging announcements, Samsung has now updated pretty much every cam in its range, and we've picked out the highlights for you:
The C20, C24 and M20 are a trio of ultra-stylish handhelds, carrying on the C-series lineage, which regrettably means a scant 720 x 480 resolution to go with your Touch of Color. The less fashion-conscious M20 gets a CMOS sensor that stretches all the way up to 1920 x 1280/60p, while all three share Samsung's famed Active Angle Lens.
The F40, F43 and F44 bring a super duper 52x optical zoom, but again record at a disappointing 720 x 480. Really Samsung?

iGUGU Gamecore hands-on

Nokia 'Mystic' leaked, collides E72 heritage with Centro-esque design
Here's a bit of confusion for the eyes: a new Nokia hand has surfaced at the Vietnamese tech site iTech.vn which marries the traditional E-series candybar form factor with a big dash of Palm Centro-style face buttons. There aren't many details so far, other than the 5 megapixel camera around back and the spooky fact that the phone is temporarily going by the "Mystic" moniker. While that legendary keyboard looks delicious as ever, we can't say we're digging much of the rest of this handset's looks -- or lack of expanded functionality implied in the form factor -- but we'll reserve judgement for when we know more and get a chance to play with this in person.

Mad Catz adds mice to Cyborg PC gaming line, (doesn't) blend human and mouse DNA
Rabid feline news now, with the erroneously spelled peripheral maker announcing "a new range of premium Cyborg gaming mice" expected to be in(side?) consumer's hands by Spring 2010. We feel like we can confide in you: we also assumed Mad Catz had finally done it, actually blended human flesh with a traditional gaming mouse to create a new class (and species!) of PC gaming peripheral. Alas, no - it's just the addition of four mice, ranging in price from $50 to $130, to their currently keyboard-heavy existing Cyborg PC gaming lineup.

CES: Apple tablet - no Intel inside, says The Street
Recall we noted an earlier story estimating Apple’s tablet component costs, but voiced uncertainty at the inclusion of an Intel Atom processor?

The analyst reckons he knows because of chats with Apple’s design manufacturing partners, and it suggests a little more grist to the mill pertaining to the shadowy activities of Apple’s PA Semi teamin fact, the report states just that:

FLO TV and Mophie team up to bring mobile TV to your iPhone
If you'll recall, FLO TV showed off a proof-of-concept for getting its mobile TV service onto the iPhone back in November of last year. At the time, it required a somewhat unwieldy attachment, which has now melted away with the inclusion of Mophie into the deal, who will integrate the FLO TV hardware into its popular Juice Pack. Both companies are pretty psyched about the synergy of having one device both receiving mobile TV and doing the consequently necessary battery life extension. You'll find their collective announcement after the break, and products can be expected in the first half of the year.

Toshiba introduces ZX900 Series 55-inch and 65-inch Cell TVs for the US

Still, the processing power is what's really on display here, and Toshiba claims that it's packed 143 times the processing power over existing televisions. That processing makes way for Toshiba's Resolution+ upscaling, a 480Hz frame rate (completely ready for 3D), and some home media server capabilities as well. The centerpiece is the Net TV applications, which include Netflix, VUDU, CinemaNow and Pandora, and there's 802.11n WiFi and 1TB of HDD for streaming and storage.

Tablet teasers: Steep learning curve, component costs estimates
We’re all ga-ga on the Apple tablet right now - even competitors just can’t seem to keep their excitement to themselves as they introduce a raft of products they hope can out-innovate Cupertino. Two fresh reports add yet more insight into Apple’s tablet tease, with one website claiming the device will be completely unlike anything seen before, with a “steep learning curve” for users navigating the UI.
Cult Of Mac this morning informs us the new Apple device “probably won’t” feature a 3D interface, but will offer some new form of user control - with a tipster telling the Leander Kahney-run website that we should be prepared to put some time into learning how to use the tablet.

New line of LG plasma HDTVs feature NetCast, slim design
The fact that LG presented 39 new LCD HDTVs today and only eight plasmas is telling of the times, but videophiles are just happy to still have the option to choose picture quality over features. For you Mr videophile, LG has eight new plasma models from 42-inches to 60-inches. The new TrueSlim frame has a bezel that is only .9-inches and wireless capabilities. The PK950 (pictured above) and PK750 both feature NetCast, which is LG's name for its streaming services that including Skype, Netflix, VUDU, YouTube, Napster DivX and Ya

LG presents 39 new LCD HDTVs, most with NetCast, some with 3D
Yes, this press releases is pretty crazy, the shear number of LCD HDTVs is impressive enough, but the various models offer just about anything you could want. The top of the line LE9500 Series (pictured above) is LG's first LED 3D HDTV offering, but is also ultra slim with a 8.5mm bezel, has optional wireless HDMI set-back box, Local Dimming, 480Hz, THX Certification, NetCast (VUDU, Netflix, DLNA and just about every other streaming service including Skype). In fact the only bad aspect of the LE9500 is that it is only available in 47 or 55-inch variety. The lineups goes down from there and there's something for everyone and you'll

LG reveals Full HD 3D projector, Skype-enabled HDTVs and more at CES
The show floor finally opened up here in Vegas today, and just as we knew they would, the product announcements are flowing hot and heavy. LG's one of today's biggest players, unleashing a whole bevy of new kit that truly spans the gamut of consumer electronic sectors. Kicking things off is the CF3D, which is hailed as the planet's first Full HD, 3D single lens type projector. As for specs, you'll get 3D auto picture calibration, a twin engine, two HDMI 1.3 sockets, 300 ANSI lumens and a single USB input, while the XGA HX300G won't do much of anyone outside of traveling salespeople much good. Moving on, there's a little confirmation of the Skype news that we caught wind of yesterday;

New LG BD590 Blu-ray player sports a 250GB hard drive
Like the LG BD390, the new LG Blu-ray player has WiFi, BD Live, VUDU and DLNA, what's new is the 250GB hard drive. Now the first thing we thought of when we heard LG was including a hard drive was Managed Copy, but there's no mention of it in the press release. What is in there though is the ability to download VUDU movies, pictures, music and more to it. This is especially useful if your Blu-ray player isn't well connected since it allows you to sneaker net your content or to copy it over and play it back later. There's no mention of price or availability, but this guy does have two little brothers, the BD550 and BD570, that feature many of the same internet features, but don't have a hard drive.

Check it: LG just mentioned that Windows Mobile 7 will be in handsets this year. This would be the most official recent affirmation we've seen from any top-tier company of the 2010 date -- but no, they're not showing any hardware running it here, so it remains more of a magical, world peace-creating concept than an actual product.

Toshiba, however, is going Big Love for its new 11.6-inch T115 and 13.3-inch T135 ultraportables, which can both run AMD Neo, AMD Turion or Intel Pentium SU4100 processors. Nothing absolutely blazing, but at the $450 starting point (for AMD) you're hardly past a netbook cost for something considerably peppier. The laptops, which measure less than an inch thick and weigh 3.5 and 3.9 pounds, respectively, offer up 9 hours of battery on Intel and 6 hours on AMD, with the ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics in the latter providing some decent low-power video decoding (including Blu-ray, if you have an external drive). Prices scale up to $700, with a 320GB hard drive and 4GB of RAM at the high end.

Everybody knows that Apple's default headphones aren't the best, and while many would argue that those from Bose aren't exactly top-notch either, they're surely a step up. What if you want Cupertino's inline controls and some over-the-ear isolation from Framingham's most famous foreign-sounding speaker company? That's what Freddy Deeble wanted, and that's what he achieved.

Orange France boss confirms iPhone tidal wave, data surge, but happy to invest in infrastructure (AT&T?)
Apple’s fortunes in France mean that the iPhone accounted for an impressive 77 percent of mobiles sold with a contract by France Telecom’s Orange brand across the holiday season, confirmed the head of the company.
The immense popularity of the device has caused demands for data usage on the carrier's network to climb exponentially - but the message to O2 (in the UK) and AT&T (in the US) is that Orange isn't scared to invest in boosting network capacity, the company chief explains.
Orange is owned by France Telecom, whose CEO, Didier Lombard told French business paper, Les Echos, that his company’s end-of-year sales reached a ‘historic’ level, with iPhones flying out of Orange doors.

Gegenüber dem Vorgänger tx2 hebt sich HPs TouchSmart tm2 alleine schon äusserlich positiv ab: er ist dünner, leichter und in robusteres Alu gehüllt. Neben dem Gehäusematerial hat der tm2 von den neuen Envy-Laptops auch das umstrittene Unibutton-Touchpad übernommen. Ein großer Pluspunkt: der kapazitive Multitouch-Screen kann sowohl mit den Fingern als auch mit einem Stift benutzt werden. Weitere Specs: 12,1-Zoll großer Bildschirm, Intel Core 2 Duo-Prozessoren, optional ATI Mobility Radeon-Grafikkarte und eine 6-Zellen-Batterie, die neun Stunden durchhalten soll. Die Kollegen von Engadget-US waren beeindruckt und hatten au

ASUS Eee Keyboard gets a price and launch date
We saw it clear the FCC a few months back, and retooled slightly shortly thereafter, and it looks like ASUS' Eee Keyboard is now finally nearing an actual release. The latest official word is that it'll roll out sometime in February, and run between $499 and $599. No more last minute spec changes from the looks of it, which means you can expect the usual Atom N270 processor, 1GB of RAM, a 16GB SSD (upgradeable to 32GB), and a built-in battery that promises to last for four hours -- and, of course, that 5-inch touchscreen.

D-Link just dropped a bunch of new 802.11n gear here at CES -- a couple of new routers and the intriguing Rush accelerator pictured above, which is basically a powerful 4x4 access point.

As for the routers, there's the new D-Link Touch, which sports a three-inch touchscreen for configuration and simultaneous dual-band 2.4 and 5GHz support for up to 450MBps transfers, and the Pocket, which is designed as a quick'n'dirty travel router.

Unsere US-Kollegen hatten das Teil bereits auf dem Schoß, ihr Urteil lautet: Ordentlicher Klang aber etwas zu groß geraten und daher eher für 17-Zöller zu empfehlen.

Apple-Patent deutet auf 3D User-Interface hin
Apples jetzt veröffentlichte Patentschrift mit der ID #20090303231 widmet sich einem multitouch interface for manipulating three-dimensional virtual objects, passt erstaunlich gut in die iSlate-Spekulationen der letzten Wochen und ergänzt die bislang verfügbaren Puzzleteile zum Apple-Tablet. So führt der Patentantrag die bereits im Dezember 2008 vorgestellte Idee eines “Multi-Dimensional Desktops” weiter aus und harmoniert prima mit Weiterlesen

Michael Jackson 'This is It' PS3 bundle makes it a better place for you and me
This is it! And by "it" we, of course, mean corporate synergy, as Sony Pictures Entertainment and Sony Computer Entertainment Japan reach across the cultural divide to bring America's late King of Pop to the island of Japan in the form of a bundled Blu-ray and "Special Pack" PlayStation 3 SKU. But this bundle isn't as off the wall as you may imagine. It won't heal the world or rock with you, but if MJ fans wanna be startin' somethin' with the PS3, you really can't beat it. Your ¥33,500 nabs you a Blu-ray of last year's behind-the-scenes cash-in and a 120GB PS3 Slim in a "limited offer" package beginning January 27 - sorry, no choice of black or white. Oof, that last one was bad.

Canon's EOS-1D Mark IV gets unboxed, high ISO modes tested

Google Phone mit Multitouch nur noch eine Frage von Tagen?

Das allseits mit großer Aufmerksamkeit bedachte Google Phone Nexus One hat eine Menge Mankos, aber der größte dürfte fehlendes Multitouch sein - mit mühsamen Einfingerübungen ist heute für kein Smartphone noch ein Blumentopf zu gewinnen. Am Rande der Nexus-One-Präsentation ließ sich Android-Chef Andy Rubin zwar gerade einmal zur Bemerkung hinreißen, man "ziehe in Erwähnung" Multitouch aufs Google-Phone zu bringen, der Rest war, wahrscheinlich juristisch angebrachtes Schweigen, ob der Patentlage. Aber es gibt auch Hinweise darauf, dass Multitouch auf dem Nexus One nur noch eine Frage von Tagen ist: D

Man, we'd usually say it's been a hot minute since we heard from iLive, but when you're pushing a full year, that's just a woeful understatement.

We won't bother detailing the lower-end gear, but a few of the highlights include the iTDP610B bar speakers with built-in DVD player -- which touts a motorized door that opens to reveal the iPhone dock and to load and unload a DVD-- and the iHP310B micro audio system.

HP refreshes ProBook and EliteBook lines with Core i7 processors and just about everything else
HP has six new professional laptop models in the mix, with Core i7 processor options across the board and plenty of other high-end accouterments. The ProBook models, the 6440b (14-inch) and 6540b (15.6-inch), have a starting price of $949, while the gunmetal aluminum-clad EliteBook 8440w and 8540w start at $1,299 and $1,499, respectively. Finally the more traditional platinum aluminum 8440p and 8540p start at $1,099 and $1,249. The differences between the six models might seem minimal to the untrained eye, but high marks like the spill-resistant drains in the EliteBook models, 24 hour battery option on the 8440p / 8540p might help make sense of the endless configurations that will be available among these models.

Slingbox 700U coming from a TV provider near you
Yeah, we don't believe the headline either, but it's exactly what the Sling Media press release states. Maybe we're just cynics when it comes to cable and satellite providers, but with TV Everywhere and Fancast Xfinity out there, it's hard for us to imagine our provider doing something as cool as connecting this sleek 700u to a standard issue HD DVR. We only wish we could grab this from the store, plug only a USB cable into our set-top box and start streaming video around the internet -- apparently the box self configures itself.

Tmobile's got a nationwide 7.2mbps HSDPA network that is compatible with the 3G radios on phones from Europe and Asia. Compared to AT&T who has a different radio frequency for 3G and are still working on the 7.2mbps network, that's pretty solid. They also have the lowest-priced unlimited data plans of any US carrier which helps the Nexus One come in $500-$1000+ less over the two year contract (the difference in the phone cost is $20) than the iPhoneand even the Verizon Droid.
Will AT&T lower their prices to compete with Tmobile?

Will Tmobile's lower priced plans for Google's Nexus One push down iPhone?
Tmobile's got a nationwide 7.2mbps HSDPA network that is compatible with the 3G radios on phones from Europe and Asia. Compared to AT&T who has a different radio frequency for 3G and are still working on the 7.2mbps network, that's pretty solid. They also have the lowest priced unlimited data plans of any US carrier which helps the Nexus One come in $500-$1000+ less over the two year contract (the difference in the phone cost is $20).
Will AT&T lower their prices to compete with Tmobile?

Samsung's Diva S5150 and S7070 delight, blind
Shiny, quilt-look phones are an admittedly limited market -- but considering that Samsung announces on average 17.2 quadzillion phones a week, it makes perfect sense that they'd devote a whole line to this kind of over-the-top foolishness. We spent a couple minutes with the S5150 flip and S7070 touch phones today -- the first two members of the Diva series -- marveling at just how truly frilly these trinkets are. The gilded S5150, in particular, dazzles the eyes with a concealed LED display (yes, LED, not LCD) and an amazing sheen that could probably be used as a defensive weapon to blind an attacker in a pinch. In terms of UI and functionality, you're not going to find anything new here -- but then again, that's not really w

HP Notebook Projection Companion stuffs a little bit of projection into a little bit of a projector
Stepping across the not-so-fine line between regular projectors that you'd bring home to your parents and those rebellious pico affairs, HP's Notebook Projection Companion offers up to 60-inches of LED-based projection at a range of up to 8.5 feet. It pumps light at 100 lumens and an 800:1 contrast ratio to put an SVGA 858 x 600 image up against the wall. The projector works with a standard VGA plug, and cuts a rather striking figure in its brushed aluminum shell.
We spotted the "Companion" doing its thing in a relatively dimly lit room, and it certainly is a jump beyond a pico projector -- it's almost completely usable, in fact. We'd still probably prefer a large laptop screen for watching a movie, but if you've got to share a presentation or an experience, you could probably

HP Mini 5102 has optional handle and touchscreen; the drive to succeed
HP's netbooks can have a tendency to really creep up in price as you pile on the specs, but you can't fault them for options. Particularly this new Atom N450-based Mini 5102, which is aimed at business and education use. You can tweak the 10-inch laptop with a WSVGA or WXGA screen, Broadcom HD video acceleration, and just about any OS you could think of: FreeDOS, SUSE Linux, Windows XP and Windows 7 (Starter and Home Premium). You can also squeeze a capacitive multitouch screen into the 0.9-inch form factor and take your pick from a 4-cell or 6-cell battery. Like we said, lots of options.
As far as fit and finish, the laptop isn't that far divergent from the Mini 5101, which certainly isn't a bad thing. We love the quality, no-frills

HP TouchSmart tm2 convertible tablet slims down and spruces up
No hard feelings, tx2, but there was always something just a little "behind the curve" about your design and feature set, and we're kind of glad HP decided to go all-new with its TouchSmart tm2 followup. The 12.1-inch laptop is powered by new Intel Core 2 Duo procs and even discrete ATI Mobility Radeon graphics if you're man enough, and claims 9 hours of battery life off its standard 6-cell. Most importantly, the capacitive multitouch screen is finger and pen friendly. The physical design takes some cues from HP's new Envy laptops, including the controversial unibutton touchpad and lovable aluminum build, and seems decently thinner, lighter and stronger than the tx2. The laptop should be out on January 17th with a starting price of $949.

OCZ unveils ultraslim USB 3.0 external SSD, Vertex 2 and new PCI-e SSDs

HP debuts a clutch of new, eco-friendly displays
Companies love to fly their "green" flags, regardless of whether or not manufacturing (or, indeed, operating) consumer electronics can ever truly be eco-friendly. That said, HP is quick to remind us that "white is the new green," in this case the low power, mercury-free, solid state White LEDs featured in the HP Compaq LA22f (22-inch) and HP Compaq LE19f (19-inch). Otherwise, the HP ZR22w (21.5-inch) and HP ZR24w (24-inch) are LCD displays with integrated 4-port USB hubs. All of these bad boys feature HDCP compliant DVI inputs, VGA, and optional USB graphics adapter for up to six simultaneous displays. Pretty sweet, right? No word on a price or release date, but you'll know as soon as we do -- promise. PR after the break.

If one looks at performance levels, the models offering 64, 128 and 256 GB of storage space are among the expected average: 170 MB/S in writing mode and 200 MB/S in reading mode. They are nevertheless interesting thank to additional features. In addition to the SATA II interface, they will offer a USB 3.0 port, so one could transform them temporarily or definitely in an external storage uni. Prices remain unknown unfortunately.

The WirelessHD Format Evolves
In order to follow recent innovations and get prepared to the future evolution on for TVV, the WirelessHD format, while remaining rather confidential, evolves. The new version will still work on frequencies around 60 GHz, but the transfer speed will be boosted to top 10.28 Gbits/s. It will then support TVHD in 1080p format, as well as 4K (4x beyond the resolution of 1080). Among new features, there is also a low-power mode dedicated to portable devices, but the transfer speed drops then to 1 Gbits/s.Last but not least, we should remember that this wireless format is working on a very small range, and its main goal is to replace all wires to interconnect TV, decoding boxed, BD player, Home Cinema sound systems and multimedia storage units.

Towards New Velociraptor Models
If we are often reporting about SSD and their performance and rapid evolution, it will still take years before SSDs reach price/GB close enough to disc-based HD to really compete on all segments of this market.According to different sources, Western Digital is working on its high-end disc-based HD, aka Velociraptor:
The new models should offer twice the current storage space to reach up to 600 MB. In order to further improve performance, the cache will now be of 64 MB. If on the performance wise, the velociraptor can not compete with the fastest SSD, its 10,000 rpm rotation speed, 600 GB storage space, and a lower price tag when compared to current 256 GB SSDs, it should offer a relatively long lifetime to the forthcoming Velociraptor.

Equally impressive: ARM's fine taste in websites. Head on past the break for the video.

Marvell has a new smartbook design on display here with its Armada 510 processor under the hood, and it's one of the skinniest we've seen yet.

The unit was built by an unnamed ODM who is currently shopping it around to manufacturers (or perhaps someone's bitten already, who knows), and we're getting a ballpark $200 pricepoint and a promise of about 4 hours of battery life with regular use. Apparently the big trend with these low-power ARM processor-based laptops is to trim down on battery size and therefore cost, and so we'll have to see where the market settles on preferred batter life: 4 hours might be too few, but a

Asus bringt USB 3.0 aufs Bambus-Notebook
USB 3.0 ist zweifelsohne keine schlechte Technologie, einzig die Unterstützung sowie Umsetzung ist aktuell noch mangelhaft. Da der kommende Standard von keinem Mainboard-Chipsatz offiziell unterstützt wird, müssen sich die Hersteller der fertigen Produkte speziellen Chips zuwenden, die jetzt auch in Notebooks USB 3.0 lauffähig machen.

Syabas Popbox hands-on
The Popcorn Hour lineup had (and still has) a huge following, but it remains one of the most under-appreciated media streamers on the market from a mainstream perspective. We get the feeling that all of that's gearing up to change, with Syabas demonstrating its highly marketable Popbox here at CES. We were able to swing by and take a look at the product tonight, and we've got to confess -- it'd be a pretty stellar add to any home entertainment setup. The box was small, light and stylish enough, and the actual user interface was drop-dead simple to navigate. It hooks up with any networked media (the demo was playing back content from a NAS drive), and it even pulls down metadata from IMDB for films. We briefly watched a couple of 720p clips

Parrot's AR.Drone seeks us out, destroys us as we go hands-on
Wondering what it's like to fly the Parrot AR.Drone we covered earlier this evening? So were we, so we headed straight toward the thing at tonight's Unveiled event. Speaking with representatives with Parrot they were unfortunately tight-lipped when it came to the details, but did at least confirm that the only connection to the device is WiFi. In theory, any device that supports 802.11 can connect to the Parrot to send controls to it and, interestingly, download video from the camera on the nose. The first such device is the iPhone and while the reps

Tablet will 'definitely be on Verizon', other mobile networks
According to Computerworld, the Apple tablet won't be tied to AT&T exclusively. It will be available on a variety of networks. Verizon? Definitely!
"The tablet will be supported by multiple [mobile] carriers," said Brian Marshall of Broadpoint AmTech, citing unnamed sources he said were close to the situation. "Verizon and others," he continued. "Definitely Verizon. I've been told that's a certainty."
That echos claims last year by Businessweek and others that were saying that "Apple was talking to Verizon about the tablet and iPhone lite".
We're hoping that it is sold on the open mar

MSI Wind U160 hands-on
We told you MSI was going to bring its Wind U160 to Vegas and we just some alone time with it. The design is obviously inspired by a Sony VAIO, with the glowing power light nestled in the hinge, though we wish they had mimicked Sony's matte lids -- the U160's glossy mocha-brown lid loves it some fingerprints. We're impressed with the thinness of the netbook and it felt pretty light in our hand. Unfortunately the chicklet keyboard doesn't feel as solid as the one on the Wind U135 and it's got some serious trampoline bounce. As for the internals, we've been told it will pack an 1.6GHz Intel Atom

Nexus One previewed with Flash 10.1 beta: careful what you wish for (video)
You've heard of the Flash 10.1 beta right? And you've definitely heard of the Nexus One. So it's no surprise to see Adobe riding Google's coattails by demoing its Flash beta preview on this so-called superphone. Be sure to check out the animated ad for dog food to fully realize what a future of Flash-capable devices will really look like.

Spring Design Alex hands-on
Spring Design was poised to take the official wraps off of its dual-screen, Android-based ereader this Thursday, but we were able to catch an up close and personal glance at the device today here at CES Unveiled. Highlighted over at the Marvell booth (understandable given the choice of processor), the reader was intensely thin and remarkably snappy. We had some gripes with the speed of the Nook, but every action we took on the Alex was relatively lag free. We even downloaded a book and watched it open up immediately, and the touchscreen respons

Hands-on with the Boxee Box
It looks just as small in real life and not only that but Boxee was sporting the new double sided remote. The usual suspects are on the front, but on the back is a full qwerty keyboard for searching for your favorite shows. The remote felt great in our hands and was as pleasant as any thumb keyboard to type on. We really wanted to get some video of the new UI in action, but the TV wasn't connected up just yet, but don't worry, we'll swing back around.

Garmin's CES leaks confirmed, please try to act surprised
It wouldn't be a CES without a little leakage, and there hasn't been any shortage this year. Garmin's lineup of prize winning thoroughbreds sneaked out last night, and rather than close the barn doors the company has flung them wide open, confirming all four things:
Voice Studio: As expected, this app will let you record your own navigation voiceover, meaning you can do fun things like say "right" when they should go left, and "turn around" when they should keep going straight. Garmin not only confirmed it, but you can download it right now! Happy pranking.

Parrot's AR.Drone helicopter brings military-style amusement to the iPhone
Sure, the iPhone does a commendable job with heavy-duty 3D acceleration for intense virtual reality gaming, but funk that noise -- these guys want to bring you the real thing. Parrot -- better known for its Bluetooth accessories -- has introduced the AR.Drone, a WiFi-enabled remote control helicopter that takes its commands from the iPhone or iPod touch of your choice. The wacky toy has a pair of on-board cameras, one to help steady itself and the other to beam a live bird's-eye view (almost literally, if you pretend for a moment that this is in fact a bird) from the captain's seat onto your phone's screen. Parrot's mainly pushing the hardware here -- it's offering up a host of open source goodies to help developers learn about the pr

Ceton's quad CableCARD tuner for Windows Media Center gets a price
We love Windows Media Center but without access to our favorite HD content it just isn't that interesting. So obviously we got excited when we first learned that Ceton planned to release a PCI-E card that would allow us to record four HD shows at once with a single CableCARD, but the question has been, how much? Now we knew it'd be cheaper than the $1200 that ATI would charge us for four digital cable tuners but according to Dave Zatz the yet to be announced price is $399. In addition, he has learned that Steve Balmer will demo the ca

Samsung Moment being trialed with Mobile DTV
You know the old saying -- as LG does, so does Samsung -- so it doesn't come as much of a surprise that Sammy's swinging in today with a ATSC Mobile DTV announcement following LG's a few days ago (of course, it helps that both companies worked were actively working on the technology for a couple years, too). There are some interesting parallels here; LG basically transplanted a boob tube tuner into its Lotus, while Samsung elected to take its Android-powered Moment and retrofit the new c

ASUS NX90Jq hands-on: dual touchpads unite!
At long last we can say we've experienced a laptop with dual, gargantuan touchpads. The new NX90Jq has squandered a large amount of base real estate on massive, plastic touchpads, and we're digging it -- even if we don't totally understand it. Of course, if you've ever plugged two USB mice into a computer at once, you know exactly how these two pads work in concert, which is to say they don't. Outside of that we've got some real design chops on display, and a nearly disturbing but ultimately pretty impressive mirror back. We've got a video and some more hands-on impressions on the way.
