Dell’s 23-inch 1080p LCD monitor
With all the super hectic movie chaos that are taking place these days, one’s monitor can never be enormous enough to feed to our flaming desires for in-house movie screenings. Well if that’s the case, I’m sure reading the news about this huge 23-inch LCD monitor will make a lot of people a lot happier. As the title suggests, Dell now presents you with its 23-inch S2309W 1080p LCD monitor, hot from the oven!
Modern laptop users demand 7609WU DLP WUXGA projector from Dell
Just after having heard the shocking news about Dell and its most petite LCD projector, Dell has gone and done it again. Shortly after its sibling’s birth, the 7609WU DLP WUXGA projector is introduced. With its astonishing 1920 x 1200 WUXGA Native Resolution, most people will find it hard to complain about not seeing every detail of the picture.
The long anticipated Nokia 5800 launch
If you happen to be a Nokia fanboy, like I am, you will definitely be interested in the following update as to the exact date the Nokia 5800 (The “Nokia Tube”) will be launched.
After being put on hold for quite some time (a year and a half, to be exact), some “unknown yet reliable” source has revealed its launching date will be October 2, 2008, just as Reuters had reported. It may or may not be true, but let’s just keep our fingers crossed! (Hey, it’s Reuters reporting it. We should be able to place a certain degree of trust on that information!). Nokia may not be the earliest to jump on the touchscreen-mobile-phones bandwagon, but it certainly isn’t late because there is still demand for touchscreen phones, as can be seen from the craze surrounding the Apple, LG, and Samsung touchscreen phones.
8 megapixel cameraphone with GPS from Samsung
Yup! You read it right. Albeit this is not the first 8 Megapixel phone from Samsung, the news of Samsung’s 8 Megapixel M8800 Bresson aka Pixon struck all mobile phone lovers when it was announced on September 25th, 2008. As a matter of fact, Pixon is relatively different when compared to the first 8 megapixel Samsung i8510 INNOV8. The Pixon has no keyboard but instead features a 3.2 inch touch screen display with an on-screen keyboard. The Pixon is not a smartphone, which probably will irritate some people. Nevertheless, lacking the features of a smartphone, Samsung has definitely found a way to somehow to make up for this by providing rather amazing specs for a non-smartphone.
Google Books on booksellers’ websites
Seeing how Google has taken over almost every web service, it is no longer a shock to hear updates on Google’s vast range of products.
Google has caught my attention with its latest enhancement on Google Books. In its efforts to further increase the usage of their Google Books service, Google has worked with major online booksellers such as Books-a-Million and Borders.com to allow previews of books on their own websites. This means customers will be able to enjoy the convenience of previewing books of their choice without ever having to leave the retailers’ sites. This is a very useful service, particularly for the retailers, because they wouldn’t need to develop their own systems for previewing books on sale.
Motorola’s WiMAX USBw 100 adaptor
With all the latest news that are circulating around concerning WiMAX and what it is capable of doing, I’m sure a lot of you geeks out there would want to try it out. However, getting a WiMAX signal also means that you will need to spend exorbitantly just to buy a brand new laptop or desktop that’s equipped with a WiMAX signal receiver. Well, worry no more! Here comes Motorola WiMAX USB dongle to the rescue.
Acer to compete in the UMPC market

Several reports indicate that Acer is planning to release laptops specifically targeted at the low cost market. The upcoming Aspire and Slim Gemstone Aspire are sized at 8.9-inch and 12.1-inch respectively and are expected to be released in May or June. The 12.1-inch model seems to be of particular interest to me as it has a bigger screen compared to the Asus Eee PC 900. If pricing and other features of the Slim Gemstone Aspire are the same or better then Acer will definitely offer some competition against Asus.
These new notebooks will both be sporting the new Intel Atom processor, which is also going to be implemented in Eee PC’s, which are expected to launch this June. The operating system used will be either Linux or Windows XP. Customers will also have the option to select either a standard hard drive or SSD storage. Pricing is expected to be between $300 and $450, whereas the Eee PC 900 is expected to retail for around $600.

RelatedAsus feels pressure as HP intro’s Mini-Note
Asus has decided to release the 8.9-inch Eee PC in the second half of April, instead of the originally planned May/June launch. This decision, which comes at the eleventh hour was due to the recent announcement of competing UMPC’s, the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC and a soon-to-be released model from Acer.
The early launch of the 8.9-inch Eee PC will mean that it will be released without the Intel Atom processor. The original launched models will will use Intel’s older-generation dual-core ULV processors, but Asus is still expected to ship its Intel Atom processor based 8.9-inch Eee PC in June. Changes in prices and the exact release date of the 8.9-inch Eee PC are yet to be confirmed.
