Lenovo Ideapad U1 Tablet Runs Android And Windows 7, Includes A Dock With Keyboard
The problem with any good tablet, or any touchscreen for that matter, is the lack of a physical keyboard and docking station. Plus you need a reasonably light operating system that doesn’t drain battery life and won’t drive you nuts when it comes to completing a task.
The Ideapad U1 from Lenovo is a tablet meets desktop computer thanks to its dual OS and optional docking station. When docked the Ideapad U1 can provide a full blown Windows 7 experience. When undocked (tablet form) it utilizes the Android OS, 2.2 to be exact.
Lenovo is promising an 8 hour battery life between charges thanks to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 1.3Ghz processor and 10.1-inch HD multitouch screen. There are also dual cameras (a 2MP front facing and 5mp backwards facing), weighs less than 2lbs and measures .51-inches thin.
There’s no word on a price, though it looks like this product will be specifically offered in China with a comparable version set for a US release due in the future. Two price options will be available, with the more expensive one including the dock and keyboard.

Motorola Atrix Launch Date Leaked…Maybe
The Motorola Atrix 4G (check out our hands-on) on AT&T easily is one of the hottest phones to come out of CES, with its dual-core processor, the very cool laptop dock and the even cooler HD dock, which basically turns your smartphone into a mini-desktop computer with Firefox browser.
But one thing we didn't get out of CES was a launch date. It's possible we have that now, thanks to a leaked internal AT&T screen showing March 1, 2011, and the SKU of 65230. (There's a much bigger pic showing all this and a whole bunch of specs after the break.)
We say this launch date is "possible" above because AT&T routinely launches phones on Sunday -- March 1 is a Tuesday. That doesn't mean it's not the date, but it also breaks from tradition. That said, it also matches what Android Central Forums member BloodiedWraith mentioned a day ago. Right now we'll leave this as "possible," but it's starting to look good. Thanks, anon!
Akai SynthStation49 Full-Fledged iPad Keyboard Dock
The Akai SynthStation49 isn't available for purchase yet as it is still pending certification from Apple, so we don't even know what its price point will be. While we have seen a ton of different synthesizer software for iOS devices, this one throws in the keyboard and dock MIDI controller as well, making it a kind of "all-in-one" package for musicians everywhere, if not entirely mobile.

Sony’s 3D OLED Glasses Tell Story Of Tron Future
Looking suspiciously like something out of Tron, the new Sony 3D OLED Glasses have me wondering if some accident in the near future doesn’t change the course of humanity, making everything look like Tron. Forever.
Good, now that’s off my chest, I can tell you the grey, black and very light blue color scheme on Sony’s head mounted OLED glasses isn’t very fortunate. In fact, it looks like R2D2 and a 12 year old got together and designed these.
There is, however, much reason for joy and celebration on the technical side. With two OLED screens and a total resolution of 1280×720, there’s room for both HD and 3D with these babies, and they also come with simulated 5.1 surround sound and connection to most gaming and media devices through HDMI.
Just a prototype for now, Sony promised they’ll have a talk with R2D2 and the 12 year old, motivating them to double their design efforts in a quest for market release by the end of 2011.

CellPhones Vertu Ascent Ferrari GT Branded Phone
Red and black hand sewn leather? Is it a car? Is it a Ferrari?
No, it’s a phone, but it is inspired by Ferrari, and carries its brand, alongside the Vertu logo. The Ascent Ferrari GT is Vertu’s latest Ferrari branded phone, and all leather aside, it’s made out of forged titanium finished with matter black PVD.
The sides of the phone look like an engine block, geometrically embossed and passed through by symbolic engine tubes until it screams Ferrari. The battery cover is made from yet another material – ceramic.
Instead of information on costs, we know only 2011 Ascent Ferrari GTs will be made.
Vertu have extended their partnership with their latest phone the Ascent Ferrari GT. The new phone is based on their latest Ascent and was inspired by Ferrari. The phone is made of forged titanium with a matte black PVD finish with red and black hand sewn leather of the same source as Ferrari’s interiors.

Gadget Reviews Casio Tryx Camcorder With 360-Degree Swivel Frame
Available starting Aplit, for $250, the Casio Tryx is a 1080p cam that has the looks of a transformer phone bot more than those of a mid-tier camcorder.
In fact, the design is innovative even by phone standards, with a full 360-degree swiveling frame that surrounds the 3 inch 460k pixel touch screen.
Did I mention this camcorder is almost all screen real estate? It looks more like a media player. But the frame allows for a lot of comfortable and innovative grip variations, and obviously it can be used as a kickstand, which turns the Tryx into a -you guessed it – media player.
With a 12.1MP back-illuminated CMOS sensor, the Tryx should shoot very good 1080p video, and with a 21mm lens, it’s got a wide angle of view that doesn’t scream prosumer camcorder. Rounding out the features are touch focus and shutter, slow-mo video, HDR and 360 degree panoramas.

Gadget Reviews Motorola Xoom 10.1 Inch Tablet Running Android 3.0
Honeycomb tablets are dropping from the skies like honey from heaven, what with CES 2011 and all wrapping up over the weekend. Actually, like honey from a broken bees nest being ravaged by a berserker bear.
Sweet bears aside, Motorola’s new Xoom will run the Android Honeycomb 3.0 on a 1GHz dual-core Tegra 2. With a 10.1-inch screen and 4G connectivity, 1280 x 800 resolution, and 5 megapixel camera capable of recording 720p, a little less than the tablet’s 1080p playback capability, this one will be highly prized and sought-after following its Q1 launch.
But wait a minute, 4G will only come as an update in Q2, making early adopters bitch and moan in anticipation. Other connectivity options are 802.11n WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1 and EDR. With the battery capable of playing video for 10 hours straight, the 32GB of onboard storage will prove to be too little for movie buffs and other dangerously fringe social categories.

CellPhones Reviews Sony Xperia Arc Is Sexy Phone Time (video)
Licensing the Android platform was single handledly the best thing Sony Ericsson could have done for their mobile phone business. The Xperia Arc might be the next best.
As alluded to it’s an Android phone. That screen, it measures 4.2-inches, is multitouch and boasts a resolution of 854×480 pixels. The body of the Arc measures 8.7mm at its slimmest point. Storage comes by way of a microSD card slot and under the hood is a 1Ghz processor. In terms of optics there is an 8.1 megapixel sensor that can capture HD video (HDMI output for TVs) and has a f/2.4 for low light situations.
The Arc will ship with Android 2.3 sometime in late Q1 or early Q2 of this year in most markets.

Notebook Reviews Beautiful Switchblade Gaming PC From Razer
Just when we though Razer had reached the limit of complexity for peripherals, and they would outdo their latest keyboard, which had 139 gaming specific buttons, give or take, here they are making a move into the gaming PC market.
And it’s awesome. The Razer Switchblade is a small laptop with a touchscreen and a dynamic flash keyboard, which as far as we know is completely innovative, at least in the PC realm. The keyboard reconfigures not only its functionality, but also its look based on game concent. Keys are different depending on what you’re playing, with the in-game icons for various actions actually making an appearance on your keyboard, lighting up individual keys.
Unfortunately it’s just a concept, but Razer promises at least some degree of realizing it, as a consequence of “working with selected partners to design and launch products based off the Razer Switchblade concept design.”

Gadget Review Razer Onza Still Looking Good, Still No Release Date
I saw the Onza back in June at E3. I saw it last year at CES. I played games on it both times, and both times was impressed. Today was no different. So why the hell can’t they finalize and ship the damn thing already?
I have no idea, though the company seems convinced it isn’t quite done yet. But it’s nearly there, supposedly! Considering pre-orders start in just two weeks, it has better well be, because the Onza is one fine looking controller. And that’s not even including the four extra buttons on it.
No, I played with the Razer Onza today and had a heck of a time. My shooting was accurate, the feel was spectacular, and while the face buttons are clicky (like a mouse) instead of the standard mushy gamepad buttons, they just worked. Without a doubt anyone can pick up the Onza and instantly play as good as with a standard 360 controller, and with just a few minutes, I firmly believe that it will improve gameplay.
It does this in a few ways. First, the analog sticks are tighter, which does two things: makes them more precise and makes them stop faster when released. The triggers are also tighter, and require less pull to press, enabling faster shooting. And, of course, four programmable buttons (two secondary bumper and two rear buttons) mean never having to move a thumb off a thumbstick.
In limited practice, I’ve found that the Onza works great. It’s one of the few peripherals I can’t wait to get my hands on and really test extensively, because it has the potential to overshadow Microsoft’s design significantly. Even if it remains restricted by a wired connection, I can easily see gamers going back to a cable for better controls. I mean, who needs batteries, recharging kits and throwing all that money away anyways? Wires for the win!
Cellphone Review LG Crystal View
LG are known for their original and creative phone ideas and the LG Crystal is another unique design. This is the first mobile to have a completely transparent keyboard. The phone, not being too dissimilar to the Samsung Tocco Ultra, consists of a touch screen user interface combined with a slide down keypad. The main difference from the Samsung though is that the crystal has a completely touch sensitive keypad as well. There are no separate keys with just a flat, see-through surface with numbers etched in.
The main display, as well as being touch screen has a very high resolution 800 x 480 pixels and 16 million colours as well as the actual size of the screen is quite impressive also being 3” diagonal. The features on this phone are also pretty cool such as the ability to draw a character on the screen to access your music, inbox, etc even if they are a slight bit gimmicky. But you can’t help but feel that with a price of up to £350 SIM-free LG could have given you something a little more special.

But you can’t help but feel that with a price of up to £350 SIM-free LG could have given you something a little more special.
One problem that I have found after a couple of weeks of use is that when texting, you have the option of an on-screen QWERTY keyboard which is good and easily accessible but sometimes it locks up and you have to exit your text to unfreeze the phone.
Although the transparent keypad looks snazzy and is a great show off at the pub the original and cool design took all of 10 seconds for the novelty to wear off and for the £350 phone to slip into my pocket to be used just as I used my old, reasonably priced one.
To conclude, the new LG Crystal is a cool new design that could definitely be developed and the features are all quite neat concepts with a pretty good camera. The only drawback with this original mobile is the massive price tag associated with a phone that doesn’t quite give me all I wanted for the money I splashed out.
Battery – Standard battery, Li-Ion
Camera – 8 megapixel camera (3264×2448 pixels) with LED flash, autofocus and night mode, this mobile phone also has video and a secondary video-call camera

Gadget Review Notion Ink Eden UI for Adam tablet demo
This is a subjective thing for me – I still can’t get over the fact that there is too much of a body padding around the display. It doesn’t affect the Eden UI in any way however. The thing I like most about it is that you can have three app windows visible simultaneously. This is very common to have content related to each other across the applications like writing a text document and peeking up information from the browser or moving back and forth between spreadsheets and calculator. This then means app windows are tall rather than wide and this, I think, is not ideal.
There are other options of course to navigate through opened apps like jump lists, etc. and you should see them for yourself. The question that I have in my mind now is how Eden UI will work with the well-spoken Android Gingerbread or rather even what version Adam will be able to update to?

Gadget Review ThinkGeek JOYSTICK-IT Sticks To Any Tablet, Adds Tactile Gaming (video)
Just when we thought Fling could stand alone as the only tactile gaming controller for the iPad and other tablet computers, Thinkgeek goes and tosses out the JOYSTICK-IT.
This another Thinkgeek original product, which is further emphasized by the devices old school look and milled-aluminum construction. Much like the Fling you just stick it to the screen any where the virtual joystick appears in the game of your choosing, and you’ll be able to game like it’s 1989. We’re not sure how it sticks to the screen, but Thinkgeek says that it’s “removable and reposition-able”.
Hit the ‘leap’ for a video demo.
Notebook Review Samsung Series 9 Laptop Is Bringing Sexy Back To The PC
Despite it being a PC, we’re absolutely in love with Samsung Series 9 laptop. I measures a svelte .68-inches at its thickest point and weighs a mere 2.9lbs. If this thing isn’t a Macbook Air killer, then we don’t know what is.
Much like the aforementioned competing Apple product, the Series 9 lacks an optical drive, but does sports an Ethernet port, USB ports, headphone jack, HDMI output and a Core i5 2537M processor under the hood. There is also a 128GB SSD for storage, 4GB of RAM, a 13.3-inch LED display, speakers with sub and a backlit keyboard.
Samsung hasn’t yet announced an official launch date, but we’re hearing the price will be in the $1,600 ball park.

Gadget Review Palm Pre 2 is out in Canada for with 3-year plan
Palm has released Pre 2 in mass availability ahead of CES 2011. This may not be a surprise and Palm has done well catching this week and a half before the holyday shopping season is over. Just one word of warning for those of who will lay their hands upon shiny new Pre 2 in the morning of January 1 – this smartphone comes with a three-year contract. At least now it does. Price is respectively low – at $99 in Canada from Rogers, which is the only carrier selling Pre 2 at the moment of writing, it couldn’t be cheaper, but three years of plan does’t make it a pleasant present which is what really matters right now.
Anyway, it’s a phone, so for a moment we will leave contract aside and remember ourselves what Palm Pre 2 is like as a phone. There are not many smartphone companies left out there who develop their own operating software. Pre 2 runs HP webOS 2 and its performance is yet to see, but there is no doubt that it’s a steady evolution of the original version. So is the hardware. At first glance it is hard to even tell Pre from Pre 2. Their size is almost identical, basic shape is also right there, display has remained of the same size and resolution, so has form factor and it still has its awesome touchstone charging dock. We don’t have any processor figures or RAM/ROM capacities unfortunately, but this is the matter of time. Here is the rest of the specs.
Palm Pre 2 specifications:
Operating system: HP webOS 2
Display: 3.1-inch 320 × 480
Camera: 5 megapixel with LED flash
Form factor: slider
Input: multitouch display, physical QWERTY keyboard
Storage memory: 16 GB
Wireless: Bluetooth 2.1, GPS, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g, mobile hotspot up to 5 devices
Connectivity: USB 2.0, 3.5 mm headphone jack
Battery life: 5 hours talk, 350 hours standby
Dimensions: 2.35 × 3.96 × 0.67 (59.6 × 100.7 × 16.9)
Weight: 5.1 oz (145 grams)

Gadget Review JVC TH-BC1 And TH-BC3 Soundbar With Hidden iPod Dock Sound Off Read

Both the TH-BC1 and TH-BC3 deliver superior sound quality, provide connectivity to the latest home entertainment devices and are simple to set up and use.
For the best possible sound experience both new JVC soundbars offer SRS StudioSound HD™, comprised of SRS TruSurround HD™ and SRS TruVolume™. SRS TruSurround HD processes up to 6.1 channels for playback over two speakers or headphones and uses proprietary algorithms from SRS Labs to optimize bass performance. SRS TruVolume eliminates volume fluctuations when switching from one source to another.
The entry level JVC TH-BC1 offers easy setup and is a 60-watt (30 watts per channel), two-channel SRS StudioSound HD front surround soundbar with built-in FM tuner. The TH-BC1 features an analog input and two digital audio inputs (optical and coaxial) and a subwoofer pre-out.
The TH-BC3 adds a push-open dock for iPod®/iPhone® and HDMI 1.4 – two inputs/one output.
It features HDMI CEC connectivity, 3D ready video pass through, stand by pass through and ARC (Audio Return Channel) for easy setup and usability. The TH-BC3 also adds a composite video output for enjoying movies via iPod®/iPhone®.
The TH-BC1 will be available in January 2011 for $149.95 and the TH-BC3 will be available in February 2011 for $249.95.
