I am back in full after a weekend of writing lab reports and studying for tests (yes school has started yet again…) and its time to summarize some of the news items we missed over the last few days.
First of all, according to his friendfeed Chippy is in Amsterdam where he will hopefully bring us a hands-on report about the new Opera-enabled Archos Media tablets. I’m sure he will have something up soon.
Second we have new netbooks. They are popping up all over the place – we have the NB105 from Toshiba Mexico and then the BenQ Joybook Lite. Feature wise the Toshiba has an 8.9 inch screen, the Benq has a 10 inch. Both have a 1.6Ghz Atom processor. Nothing new really. More design choices for the consumer.
Specifications here for the NB105 and here for the Joybook.
Third we have some news on netbooks we already know about. People are starting to receive their Mini 9 from Dell, and there is even an unboxing video. Looks good. We also have some info on the temperatures of the Lenovo Ideapad S10 which apparently gets quite hot compared to other devices.
Mini 9 unboxing here, Lenovo S10 heat “map” here.
Jenn over at Pocketables has received a Kohjinsha SC3 extended battery and the results are not good. The battery has twice the capacity but only allows you to run the device for about 3.5 hours. Not very mobile. Read more here.
To end this roundup we have the Menq International’s EasyPC E760 which runs CE and has a 7inch 480×272! Spectacular! And its only $89. No thanks
Looking forward to the upcoming week!
