As those of you who've followed the issue of Dell's future Adamo XPS ultra-ultra portable system (a double ultra is in order given the fact that this thing is even thinner than Apple's MacBook Air) probably know already, the no. 2 US portable system manufacturer has been actively working on a device that will certainly embody the concept of “showstopper” and will bring Dell back into the spotlight.And now, as the launch date for Windows 7 is rapidly approaching, more information regarding this uber-cool, super-slim system is appearing, including some important leaked details that make this thing even more attracti... [read more >>] Leaving aside its specs, form factor and even amazing design, one thing's for sure about Dell's famous Adamo series of notebooks: the manufacturer went all out in its attempts to make people curious about what this thing was all about. And now it seems that Dell is at it again, this time posting a new teaser regarding a whole new member of the Adamo family, this time called the Adamo XPS.Unfortunately, this time around, the available information is so scarce that it leaves quite a lot of room for speculation. Practically, all we know for sure is that this future ultra-portable will be called XPS and that it will have a very thin f...

As you can probably figure it out, there wasn't much faith in this brand new short-range data exchange technology. However, Bluetooth has grown so fast that we cannot even conceive Bluetooth-less gadgets anymore and rumors of Bluetooth 3.0 specifications being released have already surfaced.According to Phonescoop, the Bluetooth Special Interest Group is going to announce its next version's specifications later this month (as in April 2009). As you can probably realize, Bluetooth 3.0 will have increased speeds (some say extremely in... [read more >>] Up until recently, pretty much all of the netbooks on the market had the same form factor, largely inspired by their bigger and more potent siblings, notebooks and, of course, by the particular model that actually generated the whole trend, namely Asus' Eee PC. However, Sony's Vaio P has managed to change all that, and it seems that other big names in the IT industry, who hadn't yet joined the netbook trend, are willing to follow in the Japanese company's footsteps.Hence, as Engadget points out, Lenovo has just posted on its official Flickr stream some hot photos of the company's future product. Unfortunately, we do... [read more >>] One of the most important steps in gaining as much market share as possible (on any market segment) is to establish your brand as a household name. And that's exactly what Asus has managed with its EEE family of products, everyone instantly associating these three letters with the image of an Asus netbook. However, the company has great plans for the EEE brand, thinking of launching all sorts of consumer electronics products under this name, including, apparently, an EEE phone that's going to be based on Google's Android platform.This rumor (at least for the time being) comes from an interview carried out by our col... [read more >>] Since CES 2009 is getting closer and closer, all sorts of semi-official announcements and rumors have begun to surface nowadays. We mentioned in certain earlier articles the Creative Zii, the Vaio P series and the mystery product from Archos (just to name a few), but none of those stories compare to this one, that can only be described as the “mother-load” of product leaks, since it involves pretty much the entire product lineup that one of the world's largest consumer electronics manufacturers, Samsung, will be showcasing at CES.Thus, one of the members of the AVForums, who goes by the name of ziffius, posted a full list o... [read more >>] One of the worst things brought about by the worldwide proliferation of the Internet and the almost instant access to information is the fact that the rumor mill is extremely easy to start and very, very difficult to stop. However, for the marketing departments of various companies, this situation is a gold mine, since, by using clever teasing techniques, they can create quite a high level of hype around a certain upcoming product (regardless of just how unimpressive the respective product might prove to be).Well, that's exactly what Creative is doing right now with the... Zii. Besides the fact that this name has a very familiar sound ... [read more >>] You know, sometimes it's not exactly easy for one of the world's biggest consumer electronics manufacturers to bow down his (collective) head in shame and admit that it has made a bad marketing decision. That's now the case with Sony, who, after doing pretty much everything in its power in order to avoid getting anywhere near the netbook subject, has decided to finally accept the popularity of these ultra-portable computing systems and launch one of their own. A few days ago, the company posted a teaser clip on their Japanese website, featuring an envelope-like form factor and some hints regarding mobility. And that was prob... [read more >>] |
