iPad, Meet the WePad

Yes, there’s actually a product on its way to the market that is called the WePad. Looks like they have misunderstood the whole ‘competing’ thing — you are supposed to compete to be better at the good things. No one wants you to come up with a name as bad or worse than the iPad. Let’s not compete there, shall we? On that note though, the iPad jokes are fading (because they are getting old really fast) and people are finally using the word without flinching twice at the thought of it and saying it out loud.

Intel Phasing Out First Generation Atom Chips

March 9 2010 Categorized Under: Peripherals Tags; , , , , , No Commented

This was an inevitability ever since newer models started coming out. Intel has finally decided to phase the first generation Atom chips. The ones to go out first are the Atom 230 and Atom 330 chips, the ones that came first. These two chips will be off the market by the end of this month. Intel had designed these for the first wave of low power netbooks and nettops. These saw extensive use and are still on market. They will be replaced by the latest crop of Atom chips from Intel — the Atom D410 and the D510, both of which are Pine Trail generation chips and have Intel GMA 3150 graphics integrated within them.

You what I like about the recent years when it comes to home entertainment? NVIDIA Ion! That’s right, the combination of Intel’s Atom an NVIDIA’s ION is the perfect combination that gives you extremely low prices and pretty high performance. And things just got better too, thanks to NVIDIA finally getting around to making the ION 2 official. We are already seeing the ION 2 pop up on several devices and here we have something that should please anyone who is looking for a slim, stylish (relatively), quite and powerful rig to use as an HTPC. This is the Shuttle X325, a slim nettop that looks a good thing in the making.

This netvertible belongs to the ToucNote series and is called the T1000. <Insert obligatory Terminator joke here>. No relationship to a superintelligent A.I. network called SkyNet has been found.

Sick of tablet news already? Well, you need harden up because the world is currently in the mood for them and Apple is not going to be spared its fair share in the blame. A pretty hefty share at that.

Whilst you were drooling/hating/scratching your head at the iPad, there was a new company that was getting ready to announce its own tablets. This is back where Apple gets its stuff made — China and the company hails from Nanjing. It is called Motom and it currently seems to have 3 separate tablet devices in offer.
