Although nothing official has been announced about the Apple Tablet (to probably be called the iSlate), there are still a number of rumours floating around which still suggest it will be announced this month. The latest information says that the engineers and companies working on the project have all dropped off the map in the same way the same companies did back in early 2007 when the first iPhone was being prepared for launch.

The drop off the map is described by Josh Gruber as a “cone of silence” and sees Apple going in to meetings with potential partners with no prototype or presentation where potential partners are asked if they were interested “if they were to create a new platform”. [Read more…]

Over in Germany the ASUS Eee PC 1001P has just been made available for pre-order costing ‚¬249 which is the equivalent of about $357 USD.

What it does come with is a new Intel Atom N450 processor that is due to launch January 6 which is also the official launch of the Eee 1001P netbook. [Read more…]

When we first wrote about the best netbooks available a few months back the ASUS Eee 1005HA was at the top of Amazon’s netbook charts. Another check today shows that the netbook still holds the top spot firmly without any signs of shifting from the top spot. A lot of this is due to it being a good all-round netbook that has a fantastic battery life, good sized screen and looks great.

The ASUS Eee 1005HA can run for 10.5 hours on a single charge. It runs the latest Windows operating system (Windows 7 Starter), had 1GB of RAM along with an Intel Atom N280 processor running at 1.66Ghz. [Read more…]
