This seven-inch, 800 x 480 device from Eken is selling for $680 RMB in China. That’s $99.53 to us. Seems like a bargain until you look closer. It has only 2GB of storage, which can be expanded to 32GB with SD.

Some other features include a VIA 8505 processor, two hours of battery life on a single charge and has Android 1.5 installed. So really, it isn’t much of a bargain after all. Oh well.

There are many instances when computer users want a very small desktop. You don’t always need lots of power for some uses, but cramped space is often a concern on desktops and in entertainment centers.

VIA has pulled the wraps off a new SFF Pc called the VIA ARTiGO A1100. The small machine measures a scant 5.7″ x 3.9″ x 2″ for a total space of 44.46 cubic inches. That tiny machine is not much bigger than your average cell phone.

Toshiba America’s Jeff Barney confirmed awhile ago that there was a tablet coming from the company in early 2011. Now Jeff has given some more information to Reuters. He says that there won’t be just one, but at least two of them and they’ll be out before the year is through. The first will be a premium model running Windows 7, about 10 inches in size and with two screens.

The second runs Android at a lower price. Nothing further on specs. Both are for “media consumption” according to Barney. He sees slates as “expansive like netbooks.” You can take that to mean that they won’t take away from the company’s laptop business.

The Alex eReader was popular during CES and has been the source of a legal battle between Spring Design and Barnes & Noble. If you have been waiting to get your hands on the Alex, you can now do just that.

The Alex is now shipping for $399. That price is $100 off the price of the much more capable iPad, which may make some that have been waiting for the Alex lean more to the iPad. The Alex has dual screens.

Sanyo has announced two camcorders in their Xacti range, the DMX-CG100 and the DMX-GH1. Both are capable of full HD video recording (1920 x 1080) but come in two different form factors. The DMX-CG100 is available in white lead-red (that’s really the name) and blue with the vertical form.

The DMX-GH1 is a more conventional form and is available in silver, pink and blue. They’re equipped with 1,440 ten thousand pixels CMOS sensors and will accept SD multimedia cards up to 64GB. Built in memory is just 50MB.

If you’re looking for something a tad more Earth friendly in a monitor, this may be for you. Mitsubishi Electric has released a new addition to its Diamondcrysta WIDE family of monitors, the RDT232WLM. This new model features a 23-inch TN panel as well as an ECO Mode that will lower power consumption by as much as 35%.

That’s pretty decent my eco-loving friends. It’s available in black or white and has a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, a 5ms response time, a brightness of 250 cd/m2, a 1000:1 contrast ratio (5000:1 DCR), D-Sub, DVI and HDMI outputs, and a couple of 1W speakers.

Hori’s HP3-87 adds an 11.6-inch screen to your PS3 using a wraparound structure. It includes stereo speakers, two headphone jacks, and composite or component input options. The resolution is 1,366 x 768, so it will handle the 16:9 signal with its 500:1 contrast ratio, 7ms response time, and 200 nits of brightness.

Those in Tokyo can get it on May 27, when the HP3-87 goes on sale for ¥26,040 ($276). We aren’t sure when it will have an international release, but hopefully soon, so we can get our PS3s portable too.

There’s no palm trees, no coconuts, and it won’t play Hawaii 5-0, but this might just be the LG Aloha. Until now we haven’t seen any official pictures of the LG Aloha, but some people think that this may be it.

There’s no way to know for sure, but this one is supposedly called the LU2300, while we heard that the Aloha is the C710. The specs are pretty sweet though boasting a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, Android 2.1, 3.5-inch AMOLED display, 800 x 480 WVGA display, a 5-megapixel camera, GPS, Wi-Fi, 720p video and an Optical trackpad.

Both Dell and HP were late getting into the netbook market. The two companies ultimately offered netbooks, but by that time, they were not the most popular machines in the segment. Major computer makers were also lamenting the fact that price of the netbooks drove profits down.

DigiTimes cites sources that claim both Dell and HP are set to reduce their investment s in the 10-inch netbook market. These sources claim that HP may even vacate the market altogether.

The BeoVision 10-46 is the latest HDTV from B&O. You get 46 inches of viewing real estate, plus “a new and exciting LED-based, 240Hz LCD panel” and unnamed “sophisticated motion compensation technologies” that apparently feature “a yet unseen level of smoothness.”

Wow. Sounds “swell”. Look for this one to be unveiled on April 14 in Denmark and to go on sale this summer. The price? A cool 54,990 DKK (or about $9,940).

You don’t need a fancy pair of glasses to spot all the 3D TVs and monitors zooming in and out of our periphery. Now it’s Acer’s turn. Acer will be launching its new Gaming GD245HQbid 3D monitor for those in Japan tomorrow.

The monitor will cost you 45,000Yen (or $486), which we suppose is a decent price if we had any 3D games to play on it. This 23.6-incher features a 1000:1 contrast ratio and a 2ms response time. Looks like 3D glasses are sold separately, so…so much for that decent price.

If you’re looking for a decent budget netbook, the ASUS 1001PX is worth a look. It features a carbon fiber type lid and packs either Windows XP, with a 160GB hard drive and a 5-hour battery life; or Windows 7 with a 250GB hard drive, a larger 6-cell battery and 9-hour battery life.

Looks like the Windows XP version will cost about $325 while the Windows 7 version will run you $400. Both netbooks have the same specs otherwise.

Despite all evidence to the contrary, you can play your music and have the speaker look good at the same time. The Panasonic SC-SP100 Audio System looks like it will deliver exactly that experience.

It’s compatible with both the iPhone and the iPod, with a total power of 20W and consists of a 2.5 inch Dual Passive Radiator and 2.5 inch sub-woofer. Some other features include synchronization with your PC and that unusual stylish shape. It will cost just $115.

Folks that work in harsh environment like fire fighters, field workers and oil field workers need a device that is strong enough to survive life in the field. Drop your iPhone and the thing is probably dead. Rugged phones however, can withstand drops and tumbles.

AT&T has added a new phone to its line for users needing a rugged handset called the Airo Wireless A25is. The device meets MIL-SPEC 810-F/G. It can survive repeated drops form as high as 50-inches, up to 95% humidity, and harsh vibrations for up to 1000 miles.

Disney fans will want to check out this new phone from Himfr, the DM005SH. The phone features 22 diamonds in several sizes, all arranged to make the Disney logo. Aside from diamonds, the DM005SH has an 8-megapixel camera and a 3.4-inch FWGA display.

It’s branded with the Disney name engraved on the phone’s keyboard and comes with pre-loaded Disney themes. No word on price, but rest assured, it won’t be cheap thanks to all those diamonds.
