ASUS Eee Keyboard


While I'm not an asus fan, I love some of their products, and the Eee PC is one of my all-time favorites when it comes to hardware products, without giving a frozen apple on the company behind them. In this case, it's about the asus Eee line of products once again, but now we're not going to talk about netbooks or desktop computers, because the asus Eee Keyboard is a whole new product, in my opinion.
ASUS Eee Keyboard

Announced back at CES, the Eee Keyboard is a full size keyboard with a built-in computer, although the 5-inch interactive display/touchscreen doesn't look great to me, since it has a 480X800 resolution. Anyway, that's just one of my usual ramblings, since you can easily connect the Eee Keyboard to an existing display, and that's it - a decent computer inside a keyboard!

When I say "decent computer," I think about the following specs - an Atom N270 chip, helped by a 16GB SSD, 1GB of RAM, WiFi and Bluetooth modules, VGA / HDMI ouputs, as well as a few USB 2.0 ports!

Now, we only need to see this beauty in some store, since I think I just found a decent replacement for a laptop, because sometimes all I need to do while away from home is to browse the Web and write some emails, maybe a bit of messaging. If any of you manage to spot the asus Eee Keyboard on sale before I do, please drop a comment below!

Touch Book


have the macbook family, and we also have the iPod Touch multimedia player. All these come from Apple, of course, but this doesn't mean the Touch Book should also belong to Apple. I know, I know - for Apple, innovation is the game, but for Always Innovating, innovation is the name, before anything else, but if we look at the Touch Book, I can't say these guys aren't a few steps ahead of the crowd, either!

The best part of it all is that Always Innovating's product is simply great in theory - "Combines Netbook and Touchscreen Tablet; Provides Three Times the Battery Life at Under Two Pounds." 10 to 15 hours battery life? Come on, that's almost as long as my MP3 player! How did they manage to achieve this?

Well, we're talking about a device powered by an ARM processor from Texas Instruments, and according to its creator, "You can use it as a netbook computer, a hand-held game device, or a video player. You can even reverse the keyboard to prop it up on a table in an inverted 'V'. Finally, because it is magnetic, you can remove the keyboard and put the tablet on the fridge to serve as a kitchen computer or digital frame."

The price looks great, with only $299 for the base model, and early orders can already be placed at http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/store/.

MacBook Air: Apple’s latest laptop


The laptop took a new meaning with the newest invention of Apple. It is so thin it fits in a regular manila envelope.

In a speech in front of about 4000 attendees to MacWorld conference (San Francisco), Steve Jobs showed the latest model of laptops: MacBook Air.

With the theatrical style that characterizes him, Steve Jobs took out a regular manila envelope, legal size, and removed a real live Macbook Air. Jobs claimed he have made a comparison with all the current thinnest laptops.

The MacBook Air will be available in stores in two weeks and it will cost $1,799. The device has a slightly wedge-shaped profile. It weighs about 3 pounds, and sports a thickness of 0.16-0.76 inches. It’s 12.8 inches wide and 8.95 inches deep. The MacBook Air can get about 5 hours of battery life with wireless networking turned on.

Nokia announce new Eseries: Nokia E55 and E75


Business men and women across the globe rejoice! Nokia have fleshed out their Eseries business range with the announcement of two new phones ate Mobile World Congress; the much talked about Nokia E75 and it’s smaller sibling the Nokia E55. A firm favourite with professionals and companies alike, the Eseries gained popularity thanks to excellent reliability, excellent build quality, high end features and classy design. And the two newest additions to the range don’t buck the trend.

The Nokia E55 sports a candybar form factor with a semi QWERTY keyboard; an extra row on the keypad means that each button has two letters on it for, what Nokia claim, a faster to learn and quicker to use interface than a standard alpha numeric keypad. Messaging is at the forefront of the E55; Email is easy to read, manage and send directly from the phone without the need to connect to your home or office PC. The E55 also features extensive calendar and task management functionality meaning you can organise your personal and profesional life all in one pocketable device. Running Symbian series 60 means you can customise, install third party applications and make the E55 your own.

The E55 includes HSDPA and Wi-Fi connectivity giving you the fastest connection possible for web browsing and downloads with a fully functional web browser just a few clicks away. GPS with A-GPS support is also included. In terms of multimedia, the E55 has most bases covered with an MP3 player and video player plus expandable memory for extra storage, stereo Bluetooth to stream music to a compatible headset and a 3.2 Megapixel camera (which is nice as cameras aren’t always a given on Eseries mobile phones). One final feature that will really appeal to the business user is the battery life; Nokia reckon you’ll get up to 28 day standby time out of the E55 which sounds nothing short of incredible.
