15:22 Jonney Shih on stage talking about gaming…hold you horses for a few minutes!   We’ve just been handed the images of the devices. (Thanks Netbooknews)   15:32 Still waiting for that tablet ‘news.’  The 12” Eee Pad looks rather huge. Comes with a docking station apparently. 10 hours battery life (It’s going [...]

This could get confusing. We’ve just picked up the press release for the Asus conference and there are three different tablet devices being launched here. Eee Tablet sounds like an e-book reader. The Eee Pad is coming in two flavors. 12” with a CULV CPU and Windows 7 Home Premium and 10” with Windows 7 [...]

The tablet featured first in the press conference but there were no product announcements. We’ve actually left the event to head on out to the ASUS press conference. The tablet has the “ability to allow is to enjoy nearly all the content that we would like to enjoy on a computer today” says Jen-Hsun Huang, [...]

I just stopped by the ARM room at Computex to pre-register for the press event and they kindly gave me a press pack which gives a hint about what they’ll be talking about. This is interesting because the press pack and press release talks almost exclusively about Android 2.2 as if nothing else mattered right [...]

Today is day Zero (many of you reading this will still living out Sunday but it’s already Monday here) and the action starts in just a few hours with a press conference from chip designer ARM. We’re not expecting anything new to be announced in our area because the Cortex A9 (multi-core ARMv7 architecture) is [...]

Computex is one of the biggest and definitely the most important trade show of the year for mobile computing. Not only is it located in the heartland of notebook, netbook and mobile computer design and manufacture but it’s an event that I get additional access to through our friends at Intel. I’m part of the [...]

This won’t take long. What we’ve got here is a Moblin build that has picked itself up from being stopped-dead in it’s tracks buy a huge corporate direction change. I imagine that partners that were working with Moblin before MeeGo was announced are pleased that they can finally get back to work in optimising their [...]

Wondermedia are a subsidiary of VIA Technologies that launched their product, an ARM-based platform for low-power computing appliances, this time last year.

We’ve had a few emails and ‘heads-up’ from people about potential issues with the Enso Zenpad but because of the lack of resource here to investigate , we  just haven’t been able to give you any reliable information. I’d like to point your attention to Engadget now though so  if you’ve ordered a zenPad, please [...]

In a press conference today, Intel presented their processor range for ultrathin laptops. Naturally, many of us want to know if the processors will reach down into the tablet space so I put the question forward to Mooly Eden (right.) It was given a surprising answer. Intel will disclose a special tablet solution at Computex. [...]

It’s a question I’ve been looking for an answer to for a long time. There are plenty of tablet manufacturers that are in the dark too. Why doesn’t Google allow Android Marketplace on non-phone devices? It’s crippled the Archos 5, the Camangi Webstation, the Compaq Airlife 100 and many other devices. There are also OEMs [...]

I don’t believe that anyone can seriously say that the iPad could work as a full computer replacement for someone who would consider themselves a mobile professional — [...]
