Blimey, could Camangi actually be serious about selling their WebStation Android tablet? We’ve scoffed a little at the hitherto-unknown company’s intentions of having the 7-inch WiFi tablet on the market by December 2009, but a new site and a freshly launched Camangi Market (for apps friendly to the slate’s hardware and sc (Read More)

Electronic versions of the classic Etch-a-Sketch aren’t particularly unusual, but so far this is the first time we’ve seen Arduino-controlled knobs with physical resistance and a proper shake-to-clear integrated into such a project. The Hack-a-Sketch takes a Lenovo ThinkPad laptop and adds the usual two Etch-a-Sketch rotar (Read More)

We made no attempt to disguise our confusion about what looked like a poorly orchestrated teaser campaign for the Camangi WebStation Android slate earlier this year, but neither did we deny that there’s still a space in our heart (and on our shelves) for the first affordable example of just such a device. Camangi’s site – (Read More)

We’ve covered a few modded Sony VAIO UX-series UMPCs over the years, but it’s rare to see all the headline tweaks combined into one machine. Happily one member of the Micro PC Talk forums has done just that, taking a humble 2007 UX490 and not only switching out its SSD, WiFi and other basic components, but completely repla (Read More)

Perhaps we’re naive, but we’d have thought that the sort of people who get early access to unannounced mobile phones would also have a decent camera, but perhaps it’s the thrill of the unknown that causes heavy hand shake. No matter, you’re looking at a blurry image of the Motorola Motus, the company’s mid-rage Android sma (Read More)

We’d forgive you for having forgotten about C-motech’s Mangrove UMPC; after all, the market for a 7-inch touchscreen tablet running Windows Mobile 6.5 is hardly vast. Still, we were interested to see the unit at Qualcomm’s event today, though its tubby form-factor was a whole lot less impressive when sat next to the Quanta (Read More)

Remember Archos’ triumphant announcement last month that the Archos 9 PC Tablet was finally arriving on store shelves? Well, that joy looks to have been seriously premature; while the Archos 9 may have gone up for order on October 22nd – priced at £449.99 ($748) or thereabouts – it’s not expected to ship for another few we (Read More)

Remember the Qualcomm mirasol ebook reader prototype we we exclusively showed you yesterday? One thing we weren’t allowed to photograph – something Qualcomm rectified today – was one of the more interesting attachments they envisage potentially figuring highly: a snap-on gaming controller. The mirasol team won’t confirm a (Read More)

We were hoping Qualcomm might whip out Lenovo’s upcoming Smartbook at today’s event, but unfortunately the diminutive all-day ultraportable is still being nursed for an official CES reveal. Instead, the company had Quanta’s functional Android Smartbook prototype and a non-working Smartbook/Tablet concept out for us to play (Read More)

Ebook readers are arguably coming of age, but don’t assume e-ink – and the push to produce color e-ink panels – have won the game quite yet. SlashGear met up with Qualcomm’s mirasol team today to discuss their latest display news, and while you might remember the technology from their early 1.1-inch single-color panels, th (Read More)

An UMPC with the perfect size for the purse of our other half. Because it runs Windows XP on an Intel® Atom™ processor, you can enjoy unbridled web browsing, movies, music, (Read More)

Apple’s plans for advanced on-device advertising have prompted more horrified editorial, this time courtesy of the New York Times. The surprise is earned by the Cupertino company’s patent application for an “enforcement routine” whereby on-screen adverts can not only seize focus from the current activity – whether that be (Read More)

Following speculation earlier this month that the CrunchPad web-surfing tablet had been held up – or potentially canned – after mounting production costs, project head Mike Arrington has reconfirmed that the slate is on course for release.
