What appears to be Dell‘s roadmaps for smartphones and tablets over the next twelve months have leaked, with mention of Windows 8 for tablets and both Android Ice Cream and “next gen” Windows Phone 7 for smartphones. According to AndroidCentral and WPCentral‘s sources, four new tablets are in the works: the Dell Gallo in April, followed by the Dell Sterling in Q4 2011 and the Dell Opus One and Dell Silver Oak in Q1 2012, all running Android 3.0 Honeycomb.
Meanwhile a Dell Rosemount Windows 7 tablet will drop in June 2011, followed by a Windows 7 tablet, the Dell Peju, in Q1 2012. Interestingly, the Gallo is expected to get a “handwriting” update in October 2011, potentially some sort of active digitizer as on the HTC Flyer.
In smartphones, on the Android side there’s the Ice Cream based Dell Hancock – with a dual-core CPU, 4-inch qHD display, 8-megapixel and 1.3-megapixel dual cameras and 1080p video support – in September 2011, followed by the Dell Millenium – with a 4.3-inch qHD display, 8-megapixel and VGA cameras, and DLNA support, along with 1080p HD video – in October 2011. Going by Dell’s tiny roadmap image, the Hancock will also have a slide-out QWERTY keyboard.
Finally, in Windows Phone 7, there’s an update scheduled for the Dell Venue Pro in Q2, for unspecified “additional features and enhancements”, and the Dell Wrigley, a “next-gen” WP7 device with a 1GHz CPU, 4-inch WVGA display, 8-megapixel camera and 720p HD support in mid-Q3.

Details of Microsoft’s various XOOM models have been released, with the initial Verizon version of the slate up against the WiFi-only MZ604 and HSPA MZ601/MZ603 versions. Meanwhile, Motorola Mobility CEO Sanjay Jha has defended the $799 pricing of the 32GB Verizon XOOM MZ600, confirmed earlier this week, saying that it’s the potential for 4G that makes the Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet more valuable than Apple’s iPad.
According to Jha, Motorola “felt that our ability to deliver 50Mb/s would justify the $799 price point. It is 32GB with 3G and a free upgrade to 4G.” Asked whether the Apple slate had indeed been the benchmark by which Motorola had planned the XOOM launch, he agreed that it was the current yardstick but that it was not necessarily the outright winner. “Being competitive with iPad is important” he said, “we feel that from the hardware and capabilities we deliver we are at least competitive and in a number of ways better.”
As for the WiFi-only version – which has WiFi b/g/n support but no 3G/4G – Jha said it would be “meaningfully cheaper” than the cellular-equipped versions. “The price is set by iPad at $599 and we will be right around there” he confirmed.

The Kno tablet has been one of the tablets that has teased for over a year now. The tablet has already seen a couple ship dates announced and then missed so we are all a bit skeptical at this point on the Kno. This is the tablet with two screens that is being marketed to students as a textbook replacement.
The dual screen Kno has a pair of big 14.1-inch screens and has a MSRP of $899. That seems high, but if the books the student needs are available digitally, the price may be better than buying printed textbooks. Back in January at CES we spent some quality hands-on time with the Kno.
The Kno has now been fingered with a new launch date and that launch day is claimed to be mid-April. The word comes from notifications set to pre-order customers. The real question is if these things do ship, will there be textbooks for it.

Who said that netbooks and tablets can not live in harmony? Toshiba doesn’t give up on the netbooks, In addition to his unnamed tablet, Toshiba has brought along two 10.1-inch Netbook at CES.
The first – a mini NB505 – it really is not surprising and is similar to one released overseas, has a processor Intel Atom N455 Processor, 1 GB RAM, Windows 7 Starter, and hard disk 250 GB. At $ 300, the cheapest netbook official Tosh, but we must say that the spotted rubber cap, available in five colors, this is a nice addition. At the higher end of the netbook – yes, there’s something – Toshiba, NB305 mini update with a blue cover and an aluminum dual-core Atom N550 processor. For $ 380, you get a 250 GB hard drive, 1 GB of RAM, and the same great keyboard and touchpad rubber combo. So, no updates Libretto W105, but hey, you can not say that Toshiba, mobile computing options are not department. For more photos hit the source link below.

Toshiba Libretto W105 is a napkin-sketch of concept suddenly brought to life. What if they made a sign with – wait for it – two screens How terrible it would be “Of course, no one expects large companies to produce such weird, ballsy device for except, perhaps, for a limited trial in the Convention, has never seen. But Toshiba went ahead and actually did it.
Dual-screen concept is not entirely new. Nerds hardcore gadget will mourn the lost Microsoft Courier, dramatically innovative two shielded pills from an aesthetic, as inspired by Moleskine, as the iPhone. Courier was canceled shortly thereafter was found, for unclear reasons. Other companies, in particular, Acer and Asus, have proposed concepts or prototypes, and then there is a massive textbook replacement Kno (two 14-inch screens!), To be released in the end …. One low-budget company has released dual-screen device in which one screen E-Ink, other Android tablets, although one that used it, it seemed both parties very much.
I did these things because the libretto is nice, irrevocably, inevitably unique, and fun. This limited edition device and it should be, at the price frankly ridiculous $ 1100. But! If you see this thing in the wild, demo, the dusty Best Buy face or on the coffee table from the undiscerning and high material gadget nerd, pick it up. Play with it. Within five minutes, ten minutes, an hour, he gleefully fun, amazingly bold. This is the best of the new winner for its sheer stubbornness. This is totally futuristic – one of the most interesting gadgets I’ve taken throughout the year.

Kiel research group led by the chemist, Professor Rainer Herges, was the first time directly in the management of the magnetic state of a single molecule at room temperature.
This document was recently published in the journal Science. Switchable molecule, which is the result of sub-project of the Collaborative Research Center 677 “function when you switch, can be used in construction of small electromagnetic storage units and in medical imaging.
Scientists from the University of Kiel designed molecular machine is constructed in a similar way to the record. The molecule consists of nickel ions surrounded by pigmented ring (porphyrin), and a nitrogen atom, which hovers over the ring, the arm on the turntable. “When we have a molecule with blue-green light irradiation, the nitrogen atom is precisely placed vertically to the nickel ion, like needles,” explains Rainer Herges. “This ensures that the nickel ion to be magnetic, as the connection of the two electrons will be canceled,” says Professor of Chemistry. Counter the effect of blue-violet light: the nitrogen atom increased, the electrons form a pair, and the nickel ion is no longer magnetic. “We can repeat this switching of the magnetic state of more than 10.000 times varied exposure to two different wavelengths of light, not wearing a molecular machine, or suffer adverse reactions,” Herges enthusiasm.
Switch found with a diameter of 1.2 nanometers, can be used as a small magnetic tank in molecular electronics.
First of all hard drive manufacturers are interested in this, if more capacity can be achieved by reducing the size of magnetic particles on the disk surface. Professor Herges also considers the use of a magnetic switch in the medical sector is possible. “Player of the molecule can be used as an agent for intravenous contrast MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) to locate the tumor, or narrowing of the arteries in the first test of Neuroradiology University Medical Center Schleswig-Holstein Department have been successful.”
If the signal to noise ratio is improved by the switching process, a smaller number of contrast agents for magnetic salt needed than currently in use. Furthermore, according to Herges, molecular machine can also serve as the basis for the development of new contrast agents for functions such as temperature, pH, or even of certain biochemical markers in the body in three-dimensional shape display. Rainer Herges lists the possible use of “the use of contrast agents, as it may be possible to find the centers of the inflammation, swelling, and detect tumours and visualise many metabolic processes.”

IOGEAR’s multi-link Bluetooth keyboard with touchpad (GKM611B) can switch between six Bluetooth wireless devices, simple management HTPCs, gaming consoles, smartphones and more.
IOGEAR’s has just introduced a wireless keyboard to control them all, and it’s amazing (if not creatively) the name of the keyboard Bluetooth Multi-Link with a touch panel, or GKM611B for brevity. While the device is cumbersome name, has a lot of slick features, including the ability to pair with six individual Bluetooth devices up to 30 meters, customizable keyboard shortcuts, and a relatively thin curb weight of 1.9 kg. red-headed stepchild of (though nothing against stepchildren or red for that matter), the company also debuted a new 2.4 GHz wireless compact keyboard (aka GKM681R), which we feel is safe to say, got his nickname courtesy of the diminutive 10.25 x 4.4 x 1-inch profile. Despite the size of the cock, “board packets optical trackball and 16 special keys. For those who are in the market for such things, the model of Bluetooth will be available in late Q1 to $ 79.95, and the range of 2.4 GHz will cost $ 59, 99, it is much cheaper than other clothes compact keyboards.

Back to Computex, CEO of Bigfoot Networks, told us that his next major goal was to motherboards.
The company has already infused with his killer E2100 gaming network card in the GPU, and here at CES, it is officially announced three partnerships with major authorities of the board. MSI, ASUS and Gigabyte are all aboard, with the latest to offer a new line of G1-Killer mobos later this year. ASUS will be dishing out ROG Rampage III Black Edition (see above), which will be presented at the combined E2100 LAN / Audio called called Thunderbolt, but your guess is as good as ours when it comes to processor specifications and compatibility. Prices and registration information remains a mystery to the whole spectrum, but it’s almost a guarantee that we will see more of these links or in the coming months.

You may remember something similar from back in the day, but LG is looking to commercialize the idea.
At the bottom of rodents has a clear (glass or plastic plates, we’re not sure), packed with five LEDs for the camera to see the image in the mirror. To kickstart the process of scanning for widows or Mac computer, simply press the scan button and cheers – software activation and output in the scanner to float above. With two lasers found on the top and bottom of the bottom, you can actually run your mouse in any direction and it will reach regardless of view – it will even copy to translate the page into editable text in a document editor. He also serves as a good mouse (duh!), with a scroll wheel and left, right and back buttons. Software, in case you’re wondering, could not be easier to use. Such as JPEG, TIFF, PNG and PDF files can be exported to your favorite social networking sites, and you have the basic features for editing scanned images at the time.
OCZ Technology Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:OCZ), a leading provider of high-performance solid-state drives (SSDs) and memory modules for computing devices and systems, will showcase the Company’s latest SSD solutions at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) at the Aria Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.
OCZ Technology has just busted a trio of new solid state solutions here at CES, so we will not waste time getting started. Your first is oriented, the MLC-based vertex 3 Pro, which converges very fast interface to SATA 6 Gb / sec. We have heard that it was built with the next generation of sand of the controller, which leads to 80,000 IOPS approach and 550MB/sec transfer rate show. Until next is Vertex EX 3, which also uses an interface SATA 6 Gb / s, but based on flash memory SLC. He is also able to push a similar read speed (525MB/sec and write speeds are not too shabby either), with both the EX and Pro are available in capacities of 50 GB, 100 GB, 200 GB and 400 GB.
Finally, the third generation Z-Drive is officially presented, with the Z-Drive “R3″ PCI Express is the first SSD company sandwich group PCIe SSD drive. It is designed for Level 0 / 1 data applications, and offers a performance speed of 1 Gb / sec and 135,000 IOPS. Those with a ridiculously deep pockets to buy up to 1.2 TB of storage on board, but, unfortunately, does not serve OCZ MSRPs to one of these guys.

Qualcomm / Epos ultrasonic pen handwriting demo at MWC 2011.
Revolution Netflix company LG-Lovin ‘is not only a vivid demonstration at Qualcomm MWC booth – the company also cut little room for the presentation of wild new ultrasonic pen which is able to decipher the writing on the paper directly to the phone, tablet or notebook computer. The kernel of this is simple: the handle can be fitted with a real ink pen or a simple thing, and there is a battery-powered transceiver inside. Using standard, is ready to microphones on a mobile device, your future phone, or pick up vibrations pills pin with a radius of about 30 inches.
Basic Epos software used to convert the vibration and coordinate information in text, and from there, “OLE application text may be used for the field results. We even had a brief demonstration of a prototype demonstrator for translation of applications that offer to write on paper next to the phone’s display and the phone itself in the English sentence, converted to text and then translate it into another language. It’s quite an impressive feat, and there are some fairly obvious use of scripts here – you can easily find art notes in class, where those who prefer to write memoirs on paper, will be by the same bullet point to log on to their laptops when they are scratched.

Mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras (ILCs) now make up one of the fastest-growing and competitive segments of the consumer digital camera market.
The Micro Four Thirds system got in first, Panasonic and Olympus haven’t had everything their own way. After a decent head start, Panasonic’s G-system and the Olympus PEN-series have been joined by Samsung’s small-but-growing NX range, and Sony’s innovative NEX-3 and NEX-5. All this competition has resulted in a rash of new releases from both ‘original’ mirrorless ILC manufacturers in recent months, as Panasonic and Olympus attempt to consolidate their early lead and grab as much market share as possible.
The best thing about the new Olympus E-PL2, the last of Micro Four Thirds what? 14 – 42 mm kit lens that comes with, apparently. This is 30 percent faster to focus, and on top of that, when given a much quieter AF. In addition, a new shooter has built-in flash, support up to ISO 6400, when extra help in the dark, a much higher resolution screen on the back of the need and when you press the photo wireless, Bluetooth key Correspondence to be done. Digital Photography Review found that to be a good performer on a par with the previous E-PL1, but a bit awkward to adjust exposure than E-P2. Yes, it is not very clear recommendations for this $599 shooter, which means that you can read the full text, if you’re still on the fence.
