The ASUS Eee PC 1018P was first reported back towards the end of February along with two other models, the 1015p and 1016p. Since then we haven’t heard much until now where some, what are believed to be exclusive, pictures have been captured.

The pictures show off the ASUS 1018p model. This particular model will run either Intel N455 or N475 processors, have Bluetooth connectivity and USB 3.0 connectivity too along with 10 hours of battery life. Recently, ASUS made the decision to embrace the USB 3.0 standard by including the port on all products. The 1018p is amongst the first to receive the USB 3.0 port as standard. The USB 3.0 ports can be seen on the right side of the netbook (pictured below) and are in the usual bright blue colour that indicates the USB 3.0 connectivity. [Read more…]

LG Optimus GT540

The last time we heard about the LG GT540 was back at CES in January. Back then the launch date of the phone was said to be April this year and then I don’t ever remember hearing of the phone since then.

Today the LG Blog in France gave an update to the handset and revealed it will be known as the LG Optimus when launched. The Optimus runs the Google [GOOG] Android 1.6 (donut) operating system.

Other specifications include 5 keys on the front of the device with 3 being physical and 2 being touch keys. The display on the LG Optimus measures 3 inches and has a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels. The processor running inside is a Qualcomm Qualcomm MSM7227 that runs at 600MHz. [Read more…]

Two new photoGPS models have been launched by Jobo that bring more capacity and more locations to the GPS tracking devices.

The Jobo photoGPS 2 and photoGPS 4 are devices that sit on the hot-shoe of a camera and track GPS coordinates each time a photo is taken. When transferring images to a computer and the GPS information from the photoGPS module, the details are then merged.

These two new models have more coverage in streets, municipalities and POI’s by 23%, 42% and 27% respectively. [Read more…]

HP Slate gets Hands-On time

We haven’t seen too much of the HP Slate other than a quick unveiling at CES, some information regarding the technical specs and pricing and finally a promo video showing off what it can do.

Conecti.ca managed to get some hands-on time with the HP Slate to see what it’s all about and in their words, if it could be an iPad killer.

Their mini review indicates that the HP Slate should actually be compared to a netbook as it essentially runs Windows 7, takes time to boot up, requires you login with a username and password and acts just like a netbook without a keyboard. [Read more…]

Apple iPhone 4G Pictures Emerge

Leaked pictures have arrived claiming to be the next gen iPhone which we believe will be called the Apple iPhone 4G or iPhone HD. Unlike the fake renderings of last week and previous iPhone HD/4G concept designs which of course are not real, these pictures “might” actually be the real deal.

Reasons for believing this is due to several pictures being revealed since January at separate times that show a device that looks almost the same in all instances. If you remember back in January just before the iPad announcement, some leaked shots were posted on the internet of the iPad that was locked down to a desk. If I remember correctly, Steve Jobs mentioned in his presentation the day after that they were the real deal. In that picture (posted below – top image with white squares), you might notice on the top right of the image just above the two white squares that there is a corner of a mobile phone. Compare that to the images found below and you might see a resemblance of the top right of the phone that has a rectangular button with two round buttons below. [Read more…]

Google Cloud Print – How Printers will be used on Google Chrome OS

Google [GOOG] have created an info-graphic that explains how Google Chrome OS will handle printing. The image above (and displayed larger below) shows the process of how Google are planning to work with printers.

The problem with printing on Chrome OS is that it’s cloud based and for that reason, the technology just doesn’t always communicate with traditional printers that require drivers to be installed to work.

While the emergence of cloud and mobile computing has provided users with access to information and personal documents from virtually any device, today’s printers still require installing drivers which makes printing impossible from most of these new devices. Developing and maintaining print subsystems for every combination of hardware and operating system– from desktops to netbooks to mobile devices — simply isn’t feasible.
