By now everyone interested in tech-related issues knows that Google wants to enter an important market. The company is ready to offer a new OS to everyone that owns a computer. Google OS, which we showed you yesterday, will be available to every laptop, desktop or netbook out there. And today we have the first leaked shots of the new OS.

Apparently a very minimal Chrome OS has been offered to a company that supplies parts for Acer and someone took pictures of it. On the other hand, these photos could have easily been photoshopped, and we have to suspect they were forged just as we do with every other leaked pictures. Let’s see if Google will deny anything!

Expect the Intel Xeon Processors 5500 Series to live up to its billing as Storwize Inc. has optimized their STN-OS operating system software to fully leverage the Intel Xeon processor 5500 series powerful hardware capabilities. Storwize solutions are deployed at hundreds of customer locations worldwide enabling organizations to achieve significant and immediate ROI by dramatically reducing their cost of storage and associated infrastructure footprint, power, cooling, and administrative costs.

Double-digit storage capacity growth and the current economic climate are forcing IT organizations to reduce costs and increase the efficiency of their entire infrastructure. IT organizations are looking to data reduction solutions to reduce their primary and secondary system costs and shortage of electricity for power and cooling, as well physical data center space. But, customers’ biggest concern is the impact data reduction may have on storage and application performance.

“Storwize takes advantage of the intelligent performance features in the new Intel Xeon processor 5500 series to deliver advanced capacity optimization solutions,” said Christos Georgiopoulos, general manager Intel’s Developer Relations Division. “We’re excited to work with leading software vendors like Storwize to bring the benefits of these processors to a broad set of customers.”

How would you go for a mini-mini-Inspiron from Dell’s laboratories? You know, the Windows Mobile powered small device that can take phone calls besides being a reliable computer? Or is it going to be an Android phone. There aren’t any yet? Or is it going to be a open source Symbian Dell phone? Or will they stick to computers and peripherals?

That’s all possible according to the man, the founder of Dell, Mr. Michael Dell. Read below what he had to say about a possible Dell phone. We’ve already drawn a conclusion above but make up your own mind.

Om: Any plans for mobile phones or smartphones?

Dell: We are certainly looking at the whole smartphone category, but I wouldn’t expect anything anytime soon.

Om: With the emergence of Google’s Android, and with Symbian OS and Microsoft Mobile already on the market, do you think that makes it easier for Dell to get into the phone business?

Dell: What you’ve got [are] industry-standard platforms upon which applications are being built and ecosystems are being created, and that kind of building-block architecture gives us all sorts of opportunities.

Om: You can be a big game-changer in this market, right? You can decide to work with Android or Symbian. Is there a desire on your part to work with one over the other?

Dell: We’re not ready to publicly disclose our plans there…we’re kind of working on that.

What we have from Dell is a probably maybe right here. No more conclusions for today. Should Dell make a smartphone, MobileWhack will be there to cover it.

I am kind of tired of everyone out there trying to get their new Eee PC in. I mean this niche is already covered from my point of view. No point in coming up with more versions if you aren’t getting anything new. After all Asus had their way with the market until competition realized they actually can manufacture mini laptops.

Today we are looking at the 10 inch LuvBook laptop from Mouse Computer. Before looking at the specs we will start with a short rhetorical question; why name your LuvBook U100? Here’s what this MSI Wind LuvBook brings to the table:

• 1.6GHz Atom processor,
• Windows XP,
• 1GB of RAM,
• an 80GB HDD,
• a 10.2 inch WSVGA display,
• 1.3-megapixel webcam.

Price you ask? Just 59,800 Yen which is about $570. I’m not even going to bother to tell you what you can get for a similar price.
