That’s right peoples! You can get your Firefox Mobile Alpha working already. Well, there are some minor limitations for now. Like we heard a few days ago the Alpha will be first available for the N810 from Nokia. What we didn’t know then but it’s clear now, is that you can install the mobile browser on your PC, Mac or Linux operated computer. Sure it’s not the final thing, and sure we are a long way to go towards the final Firefox Mobile! But why not play with it if some of it is already available.

Lenovo H210 is a new desktop PC that was officially announced yesterday. The low-end computer has a starting price of $400 without monitor, and is already available to order.

Being an entry-level PC doesn’t mean it can’t have special features, and in this case the H210 has to offer 2 uncommon functions:

- face recognition to save time (?) instead of typing a password
- and an automatic brightness control thanks to a light-sensor

Where is this world heading too? I mean sure netbooks are popular but eventually a better product will be created. When it comes to portable tiny computers I’m going to assume we’re going to have smaller and smaller laptops with possibly holographic LCDs. Leaving Sci-Fi gadgets aside , I really can’t understand why a person would choose to get a PC box like the Shuttle D10 ten which would have a 7 inch incorporated touchscreen LCD in it. Why not get one of the Eee clones available today? (more…)

Not exactly the most portable devices, all-in-one PCs come in handy. They will save you some desk space and they will always be ready to go. Sony has launched three new all-in-one Vaio PCs which we’re going to inspect.

The Vaio JS, in the picture above, is a huge desktop. It has a 20.1 inch screen which has a 1,680 x 1,050 resolution. There’s a webcam above the screen and a speaker bar below. The Vaio JS has a 3.0GHz Core 2 Duo E8400 processor, 4GB of RAM, an integrated Intel GMA 4500HD graphics card, a 500GB and a standard DVD burner. The PC will cost around $1,000 if you’re interested.

The Vaio LS has a floating mirror design which resembles the Vaio LT19U. It has a 24 inch display which can deliver a 1,920 x 1,200 resolution. Inside you will find either Blu-ray or regular drives, up to 1TB of hard drive space, and an HDMI input. Pricing starts at $1,600 depending on what you choose.

The last PC is Sony’s Vaio RT. It’s an even bigger model. It has a 25.5 inch LCD and inside it has an Intel Core 2 Quad CPU, up to 8GB of RAM, a 512MB GeForce 9600M GT graphics card and up to 1TB hard drive. A Blu-ray drive comes as standard and the RT has a pair of TV tuners and both HDMI in and out.

The LoCO2PC PC from Akhter looks like an LCD monitor. Well a rather big one. And it’s supposed to be an environment friendly all-in-one PC too. Inside there’s a Celeron dual-core or a Core 2 Duo processor, SXGA (1,280 X 1,024 ) resolution, a 250GB hard drive and 802.11b/g WiFi. The whole “mechanism” uses 55 Watts while in use and only 3 Watts when in sleep mode.

This PC will certainly leave its mark on your wallet. Depending on what you choose to arrange inside you will be paying from $975 to $1,156 to get one.

Well that’s surely no wonder! Microsoft is inflating Vista Sales and HP declares publicly in an APC Magazine. As you remember, Microsoft XP got canceled officially more than a month ago with some computer sellers. XP comes now only with netbooks and UMPC officially.

I guess this is for all Apple haters out there. Psystar, or the company selling PC with Mac OS, has called Carr & Ferrell, or the lawyers that already managed to squeeze $10 million from Apple and $60 million from Microsoft in similar cases before, to defend them against Apple, or the company pissed off at Psystar. Well pissed enough to sue Psystar for all they’ve got.

Thinking about getting a new laptop are you? Well today seems to be a laptop announcements day. We’ve seen the new Vaio lineup and we’ve heard about the future Dell-E prices. We also know Lenovo has some new laptops to look at. In the mean time we found another rumor around. It appears that Intel will start offering quad-core processors in August. So hold your laptop buying horses. You don’t want to miss an Intel quad-core do you?

Pioneer Computers, Australian PC makers are taking orders as we speak on systems equipped with a 2.53GHz Core 2 Extreme chip, the QX9300. And Sujan Kamran, Intel’s regional marketing manager in Singapore said earlier that “we’re bringing quad-core to mobile in August”. If by we he meant Intel, well, this rumor is almost confirmed.

I am no designer or artist to actually need a tablet PC, but if this dual touchscreen laptop gets real anytime soon, I’d sure love to take one home. We would be a perfect fit.

V12 Design is an Italian design agency which apparently developed this concept over four years ago. If that’s all true, how come no one managed to actually create it?

The prototype in the picture is called Canova and it was “developed for creative types”. It was made of stainless steel and carbon fiber. And here’s the interesting part. V12 is working with a US manufacturer for the second generation of the Canova. This laptop is coming in about 16 months and I am sure it will be a fantastic PC

There’s going to be multi touch input, a haptic feedback keyboard, a built in microphone for voice recognition and probably much more.

The only question is who’s going to release it? What’s the US manufacturer involved? Remember Computex 2008? Asus had a similar prototype displayed. Are we in for a race to the first dual multi touchscreen laptop?

Remember the OS X USB device developed by EFiX? We’ve talked about this tool for laptops a while back ago. Using it you will be able to install a fresh copy of Max OS X on your PC and once you have done it you could use it without having any compatibility problems. Or so they say. There wasn’t any price mentioned for it back then but it appears things have changed.

It looks like MSI and their Wind are taking the path to the Dark Side. Remember how Asus started pissing everyone off by labeling their Eee trademark on whatever gadget as long as it was small and computer related? We have the Eee mini laptop line, the Eee Monitor, the Eee Box, the Eee Stick. Are we to see the Wind Monitor, or the Wind Stick? Because the Wind Desktop PC is here.

I understand the need for a laptop to be really strong while really easy to move around. What’s the point in creating a really portable desktop? Besides dropping the price? I’m not going to take it with me am I? Sure I will get a few more inches of free space around my workplace, but do I really need it?

Let’s see what MSI has in mind for their Wind desktop line. The mini desktop should sell anywhere from $200 to $300 and it will be released in Asia and Europe in July while the USA will get it in September.

The full specs aren’t available for now but the Wind desktop should pack a 1.6GHz Intel Atom, up to 2 GB of RAM, up to 160GB hard drive, WiFi and a DVD drive.

Want one? Yeah, me neither!

Apple’s MacBook is a proof to what thinking outside of the box means. It’s a very reliable laptop for a multitude o situations. What it isn’t is a tablet PC. Although tablet PCs have their popularity among a certain share of the market, Apple hasn’t created any tablets (yet).

Axiotron took a MacBook and converted it into a tablet called the Modbook. What they simply did is remove the keyboard, mouse pad and LCD and replaced them with an LCD digitized display and a pen to work on that new surface. This is not a touch screen so your finger won’t work.The price for which such a piece of equipment retails is $2.279. Too much you say? I agree.

I could give you specs but I won’t because this machine uses everything from that original MacBook. Axiotron haven’t changed anything under the hood and everything is still there working as it should. The OS is still a Mac OS X with no modifications other than adding the pen drivers.

So I think a better move would be waiting for an official Apple tablet. I am sure they aren’t ignoring that segment of the market. I’d certainly wouldn’t pay extra for turning my MacBook into something I can’t fully use. What do I mean? I would miss the keyboard, and I’d hate the fact I can’t switch from landscape to portrait or the fact that the new LCD is not as mobile as expected from a tablet. And if you really really need that tablet PC, you’d better get an extra one instead of turning your Apple into a mutant. That way you will benefit from both worlds. The artist in you will definitely choose!
