ExoPC Slate could give that iPad a run for its money with Windows 7

That Apple iPad has been called “an (insert portable gadget here) killer” and this ExoPC Slate could be an iPad killer if Apple wasn’t Apple.

The screen is about 0.8 inches smaller than the iPad, but it does have “full browser support with flash courtesy of Windows 7 on an Atom N270 at 1.6GHz, with 2GB of DDR2 memory and a 32GB SSD with SD expansion”. Unfortunately, the battery life is not as strong as the iPad as it can only go for four hours without charging.

It is available now with non-multitouch capacity for $780, but that will change in March for $599.

There is a new E-Reader on the market and it comes from OPPO, its name is exactly Enjoy – because most likely you will enjoy your reading sessions better.

As you can’t do much for a design of an E-Reader, they’ve decided to KISS – keep it simple stupid – and add a few buttons on the right and left side, as well as below the screen. The most notable features is the use of Android as the OS, and the good price tag of $300 which doesn’t make it expensive nor cheap, it’s just in the right spot.

Garmin Nuvi 1860 GPS

The Garmin Nuvi 1860 was announced to the public a few months ago, but it will only become available for purchase in the upcoming weeks, in the UK.



For Garmin this is pretty much a special GPS because it includes a couple of features they don’t usually make use of, like a camera with geo-tagging capabilities, and a wireless WiFi connection with a browser to surf the web. Anyhow, the Nuvi 1860 will run a Linux OS and boast a 4.8-inch screen size.

Thankfully there is an extra after the purchase, which is a 1 year subscription for free, to access their nuLink services like Google local search, traffic, events, and other. Price is close to $800.

Apple Being Sued by Chinese Manufacturer for iPad Design

Now this is a kind of news that made me laugh out loud,So,i thought i should share it with you too...



Normally you would think that Apple would be doing all the suing from a little-known company for some infringement or patents violations. This time it is the other way around. A Chinese company called Shenzhen Great Long Brother Industrial Co. is reportedly suing Apple for the iPad design, a patent which they claim they had already filed for a P88 tablet last May 2009.

While it seems like an impossible task to get back at Apple on US soil, it looks like Apple will join Google in having a tough time penetrating the consumer market over at China. Remember, China has a good number of subscribers but I bet some of Apple’s iPads will make their way there anyway; with or without Apple’s licensed distribution!

AirMouse comes straight out of Minority Report

Clearly, someone at Deanmark really enjoys Minority Report, or else they would have never come up with this glove interface that Tom Cruise was using in the opening sequence. The sensors are on the thumb, index finger, and middle finger, for crying out loud! Steven Spielberg might sue.

This AirMouse (not to be confused with the one that Logitech makes) is completely wireless, uses and optical laser, and can run for a week on a single charge. It is also very accurate, as it can align with the ligaments of a user’s hand and wrist.

Deanmark, a Canadian company, is planning to release the mouse this year for about $129. Too bad it doesn’t come with that cool and curvaceous transparent screen that Tom Cruise was using.
