Asus launched the Eee PC this year and it created quite a bit of interest. They are now releasing a new slim desktop PC which will be named the Nova P22. The P22 is a Core 2 Duo desktop computer. The processor is the E6320 and the slim Nova PC sports 1GB DDR2 RAM. The hard drive is fairly large too which is a 160GB SATA. The DVD-RW is a slot drive allowing that to slim the whole size down too. Wireless runs at 802.11n and there are plenty of ports on it for DVI, USB, sound, power and wired Ethernet.

Not a bad little system with that power and ideal for many who are restricted in desk space. The PC also has a stand to hold the Nova in a similar way to the Wii.

Engadget managed to take LG’s new UMPC for a spin over at CES. The LG has a nice keyboard, a touch screen with stylus, can transfer data at high speed using HSDPA networks. The screen is a nice size too at 4.8 inches (wide screen). This particular model is aimed at Europe, Asia and Canada, but not the US. No doubt a similar version will be made available for the US though.

This particular model was running Vista. Hopefully with Vista’s SP1 soon to be released it will run quite nicely.

The LimePC will be launched during 2008 and claims to be the next era of personal computing. It will work by allowing users to keep the small iPod-size device with them which permits them to connect to whoever they want and the way they want. From what the brief LimePC website page mentions, it appears to be built around a community which could well be a FaceBook type web 2.0 app in your pocket. Not only will it allow for a community type operation, it will also allow for you to choose what you want on your device and what needs to be carried around with you.

On the security side of things the device uses LimeConnect which is a secure data delivery platform. Apart from this information there isn’t much available yet. As soon as we receive more details from the LimePC people we will let you know exactly what it will do.

This gadget is a USB Edge mobile device which connects direct to your laptop’s USB port. It connects right to a EDGE/GPRS or GSM networks across the world due to it being quad band (850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900MHz). When using EDGE it can receive data at 236.8 kbps which is sufficient for an almost broadband type connection on the move.

All you need to make sure is that your network provider offer a good chunk of data as 236.8 kbps could burn a hole in your pocket if you are not careful.

The USB Edge with antenna costs $199.99.

Not only a 4GB flash drive is crammed in there though. It also has a laser pen in there too although it’s not as powerful as TechLasers 125mW green laser.
