Why no Mobile Love from the Eee Team?

Posted on 31 August 2009

If you’re following the netbook scene closely you might have seen that an EeePC roadmap has been leaked (full info at the eeeuser forum) showing a range of 1005HA devices and an 1101HA.

If you want the […]

Did Nokia just beat Intel to the MID Market?

Posted on 28 August 2009

Entertainment, Location, Communication and Productivity along with the highest quality internet experience possible on fast hardware and a focused operating system, in the pocket. That’s what Intel is aiming at with their MIDs and that’s pretty much what Nokia, with the help of Texas Instruments, have just launched with their Maemo-based N900. It’s clear that the high-end, consumer and web-focused MIDPhone market will have more than one player and there’s still a long way to go before the N900 can be marked as a solid product but based on the […]
