Intel putting some ultra-thin laptop CPUs on hold to gauge demand?

Rumors of Intel delaying processors to avoid stepping on some of its other processors' toes? Stop us if you've heard this one before. This latest instance concerns some unspecified ultra-thin laptop CPUs that Intel has reportedly now put on hold until the third quarter of the year and, according to DigiTimes, a launch then will still depend on what demand looks like at that point. All of this is supposedly at least due in part to Acer's decision to shelve some of its ultra-thin laptops that would have used the processors, and instead focus on thin-a

Windows Phone 7 is the new name, 'Series' gets voted off island

Regardless of how you feel about Microsoft's rejuvenated mobile push this year, hatred of the "Windows Phone 7 Series" moniker has been nearly universal -- it's too long, it trips you up every time you try to say it (seriously, just listen to any of our podcasts), and the "Series" bit doesn't make a whole lot of sense anyhow. Happily, Microsoft has heard the world loud and clear on this one, officially changing the name today to the simpler, happier, more logical "Windows Phone 7."

Seiner Ansicht nach handelt es sich beim iPad nicht um einen großen iPod touch, sondern um eine neue Geräteklasse, die für viele Anwender ein Ersatz für ein Notebook sein kann. Mossberg kritisiert allerdings auch fehlende Schnittstellen. So sucht man einen USB-Port für den Anschluss einer Digitalkamera vergebens.

First Looks: Speck PixelShield for iPad

Speck's first case for the iPad is an unexpected combination of two different concepts: its prior PixelSkin rubber cases for iPods and iPhones, and a purse. PixelShield ($40) is a cool rounded rectangular sleeve with a large iPad pocket on one side, covered by a flap, and a small rubber Speck logo on the back side. A handle on the short edge of the case lets you hold the iPad vertically while walking, with a suggestion from Speck that the iPad be…

iPad sales predicted to top 7.1 million in 2010 alone

Apple could sell as many as 7.1 million iPads in 2010 alone, iSuppli estimated today. Analysts believed that a strong wave of early adopters and those simply drawn to a tablet design should be enough to push millions of iPads each quarter this year. It would be enough to at least temporarily overcome the lack of Adobe Flash and could actually be conservative if Apple upgrades features or cuts prices quickly, the study creators said.

iPass? The best present and future alternatives to the Apple iPad

When Steve Jobs introduced the iPad he was quick to shake his finger in the nose of the other devices out there attempting to fill the gap between cell phone and full-sized laptop, and in particular those market-dominating netbooks. In Apple's opinion, the iPad may be the gadget for surfing the web, watching movies, reading books and running apps, but it's surely not the only game in town. And if you aren't sold on the iPad, but happen to be someone who's looking to buy a secondary computing device to use while traveling or while simply lying on the couch, your choices at the moment come down to netbooks and well, more netbooks. And that's not such a bad thing, especially if

Growth in netbooks has fallen by extreme levels in the first few months of the year, IDC has found. Netbook shipments will still have grown 33.6 percent year-over-year to 4.8 million PCs, but the growth is far less than the about 872 percent that was seen a year earlier. The decline is such that IDC now believes that most were attracted to the category solely for the price, which usually falls below $500 and lately has made $300 more common.

Defective graphene sheets look poised to succeed silicon

As circuitry gets smaller and approach the effective limitation of silicon's computing power, and Moore's Law begins to look like it has an expiration date, we get closer and closer to needing an alternative. Graphene is held to be the answer; sheets of carbon a single atom thick that could be stacked and composited to create processors. Two professors at the University of South Florida, Matthias Batzill and Ivan Oleynik, have found a new way to turn those sheets into circuits by creating nanoscale defects. These strips of broken atomic rings wind up having metallic properties, thus making them act like microscopic wires. IBM is al

Toshiba UX600 series: first HDTVs certified Windows 7 compatible

Here's something you don't see every day: a Windows 7 certified 55-inch TV. Toshiba's 120Hz UX600 series is just such a beast, the first on the market to receive official Microsoft certification thanks in part to DLNA support over Ethernet or WiFi. The logo's a nice touch that takes the guess work out of the purchase equation for the average consumer looking to stream media to the living room. Just don't let us catch any retailers slapping a "Compatible with Windows 7" sticker on the bezel ok; this ain't no Best Buy laptop.

iBooks app meets App Store, produces US-only iBookstore offspring

Get ready to welcome some amazing wood grain effects into your lives, future iPad owners, for the iBooks app has just landed at the App Store. Proudly proclaimed as being "designed exclusively for the iPad," this app gives you direct access to the iBookstore, which will offer free samples of books ahead of purchase and a brand new way for you to channel money into Cupertino pockets. Built-in search, highlighting and bookmarking features are augmented by text-to-speech functionality and ePub format support. Funnily enough, iBooks will only support DRM-free ePub files sourced from outside the iBookstore, but no mention is made as to whether

Dell Latitude E6410 / E6510 finally make it to US

Remember that pair of Core i5 / i7-packing Dell Latitudes that popped up in the UK this week? Well, they've made it across the pond, processors and all. Only one purchase choice at this point for the 15.6-inch E6510 -- a Core i7-720QM and a $1,681 base price -- but the 14.1-inch E6410 gives you a little more variety and a $1,014 starting tag. It's not like you were going to spend that money on ThinkGeek's or Blizzard's fake wares, anyway. [Thanks, Douglas]

WSJ iPad subscription officially $17.29 per month -- is Murdoch insane?

So we now have the official price for the WSJ iPad app: $3.99 per week with a monthly credit card charge of $17.29. For that you get subscriber-only content areas such Business and Markets with access to a 7 day archive that can be downloaded and read at any time. It also offers personalization features and the ability to save sections and articles for later reading. And hey, it's actually a bit less than the rumored $17.99 rate. Here's the catch: a subscription to both the print and online versions of the Wall Street Journal will currently set you back just $2.69 per week (plus 2 weeks free) for a monthly bill of $11.67 eleven dollars and sixty seven cents.

Magnetic waves distort the brain's ability to make moral judgments, tell which way is north

Morality isn't a topic discussed 'round these parts too often, but you mix in the geniuses at MIT and a boatload of magnets, and well -- you've got us interested. According to research conducted by neuroscientists at the institution, people's views on morality can actually be swayed by interfering with activity in a specific brain region. Past studies found that the right temporo-parietal junction (TPJ) is extremely active when people think about the intentions, thoughts and beliefs of others, and in the new project, gurus disrupted activity in the right TPJ by "inducing a current in the brain using a magnetic field applied to the scalp." The result? The subjects' ability to make moral judgments requ

Nintendo 3DS to feature 3.4-inch Sharp parallax barrier display?

There aren't many mass production options on the market when it comes to glasses-less 3D displays for Nintendo's forthcoming 3DS handheld gaming console. And according to early leaks from Japan, the Nintendo 3DS is supposedly built by Hitachi and Sharp using a parallax barrier system. So guess where this new 3.4-inch, 480 x 854 pixel display is headed? While Sharp doesn't say for sure, it's a good bet that this parallax barrier 3D LCD will be fronting the user interface on the 3DS.

iPad development is accelerating at a fast enough pace that it's already eclipsing Android and BlackBerry, a Flurry study found Thursday. Of all the new app projects started in the past three months, 22 percent were for the Apple tablet. The explosion of interest shrunk the proportion of interest in Android from 18 percent in 2009 to just 10 percent in early 2010, while the BlackBerry's slice of development dropped from four percent to just one.

MacNN found the new interface easier to navigate, with an uncluttered and intuitive layout.
