In just a couple of weeks the iPads will start appearing in owner’s hands, ready to take on the world. Maybe take on the web, as that is one of the tasks the iPad is well suited to perform. I have been using tablets to surf the web for years, and I can state with [...]

The iPad needn’t strip you clean of your cash. If you own an MSI Wind and are into modding, you can turn your trusty old netbook into an iPad lookalike with some software trickery and a little bit of rewiring. If all you’ve want is that big touchscreen and the iPhone-esque user interface, you should [...]

It’s a beautiful day that called for heading out and working in the local coffee shop. I’ve been here about an hour working on the ThinkPad X100e laptop. I’m getting a lot of questions about the X100e, and it makes sense to do a brief Q&A session to shed further light on [...]

The Viliv S10 Blade has been here for a few days and I am forming some definite opinions about the netbook to share. Like any mobile device, there are things I like and others I don’t. As a refresher, the S10 Blade is a convertible netbook from Viliv, the Korean company that specializes in handheld [...]

I love my netbook, but there are times when I feel the pinch placed upon me by the paucity of the machine’s specs. Sure, most netbooks come with a good amount of storage, but you lose out on an optical drive, which can seriously impact your ability to watch movies or install software. Even worse: [...]

A couple of months back, Dell CEO Michael Dell casually pulled a new Android tablet out of his satchel and began to demo it for eager tech journalists. Dell’s got a history of nonchalantly debuting Dell Mini products this way — he handled the announcement of the Dell Mini 9 netbook in just the same [...]

A picture is worth a thousand words and the awesome infographics that GigaOM runs are worth millions. I love how a good infographic can tell an entire story with no words, just the graphic. The Rise of Netbooks tells such a story, that of the phenomenal growth of the lowly netbook. A simple glance shows [...]

Reports of the death of wireless USB are premature, as the Warpia Easy Dock proves. The Easy Dock is a way to hook either Windows notebooks or MacBooks up to a full desktop configuration, wirelessly. A keyboard, mouse, monitor and other peripherals are connected to the Easy Dock, which then connects to the notebook wirelessly [...]

Although a lot of different computer manufacturers have leaped, both feet in, into the very netbook market segment that Asus created, the South Korean company with the curiously surrealist motto still manage to keep on their toes, continuously expanding their Eee PC netbook line-up with attractive variations on the rote netbook spec.
Asus’ latest, the Eee [...]

You have likely heard about the lawsuit Apple has filed against HTC claiming patent infringement. Kevin offered a good analysis of the suit and what it claims HTC is doing that uses Apple technology from the iPhone. Basically Apple doesn’t like what HTC is doing with Android on the phones it is selling in the [...]

Intel outed the Atom N450 platform for netbooks near the end of December last year. Athough you can still find plenty of netbooks with the older N270 and N280 CPUs, the new N450 — and now N470 — offer slightly better performance while reducing power consumption. The energy savings comes from Intel’s Atom moving from [...]

My house is like a mini gadget store. One day, I could be using a Windows netbook and the next day finds me pecking on a MacBook. When I get a phone call, multiple handsets often ring at the same time — up until last week, there were three active phones, along with several lonely [...]

Our readers are no doubt a group of hardcore tech addicts who always strive to get the most out of the mobile gear they use. This applies especially to netbooks and UMPCs, as those devices often have less powerful engines under the hood and it can be a chore to get the best performance out [...]

Viliv showed off its S10 Blade touchscreen netbook at last month’s Consumer Electronics Show, but kept mum on pricing and availability. Here in the U.S. the device is now available for pre-order through Dynamism with a starting price of $699. That’s the lowest configuration available and although the S10 supports 3-point multitouch, it won’t work [...]
