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.

If you’ve been waiting for the Sony Ericsson Satio, you’ve been waiting for quite a while. Lucky for you the wait is over. It’s now readily available at Sony Style stores in the US. You can get it unlocked for $650. It’s been awhile as this phone was announced almost a year ago.

After such a long wait, the specifications are pretty much mid-range at this point. The 12-megapixel camera has to be the main factor.

Here’s the latest USB 3.0 portable hard drive on the market. A-DATA has announced that it has started to ship the NH01. Nice to see more USB 3.0 devices surfacing finally. Thanks to the USB 3.0 interface, it will give you data transfer speeds up to 88MB/s on USB 3.0 and 28MB/s on USB 2.0.

The NH01 will cost you 70 Euro (or $95) for the 320GB version, 88 Euro (or $119) for the 500GB version and 110 Euro ($149) for the 640GB model.

By now printers should be easy to set up and use, but they aren’t. Usually you have to install software and drivers before you can do anything. Well, now HP Makes it easier. HP has officially introduced laser printers that offer the HP Smart Install technology, which promise “Plug and Print” capability, throwing the traditional CD for installation out the window.

All you need to do is plug the printer into the computer via USB, and the software is loaded automatically. No more hunting for your printer’s driver CD when you get a new computer. We love it. It makes live much easier.

You spent $500 for your tablet already. You probably won’t mind another $410 to add some color to the exterior. That’s right, ColorWare is at it again, this time coloring your new iPad in whatever combination you can dream up.

You can make your own design, with separate colors for the back, logo, and home button, but no matter what you choose, there’s no getting around that hefty $400 service charge. It’s either that or you can pay $910 for a new, painted 16GB model. The 64GB model is $1110.

The Lenovo C200 all-in-one was shown off at CeBIT awhile back, but now it’s official, with an 18.6-inch 16:9 display with a dual-core Atom D510 processor and optional next-generation Nvidia Ion graphics. The C200 is one of the first products featuring the HD-capable next-generation Ion.

The starting price is $399. That’s will get you a 1.6GHz Atom D410, 160GB of storage, no touchscreen, and Intel’s lesser integrated graphics. The upgrade options are: up to that dual core Atom D510, a touchscreen (no multitouch), 4GB DDR2 RAM, and a 500GB HDD.

If you’re looking for an affordable GPS watch to wear while jogging and such, Garmin has just announced the Garmin Forerunner 110 GPS watch. You get some decent features for the price.

The watch can be used for up to eight hours in GPS mode and three weeks in standby mode. The Forerunner 110 features Garmin’s HotFix technology to quickly acquire and hold satellite signals. You can upload your stats to Garmin Connect, and it can hold up to 200 hours of data.

Everyone needs to use coasters for their drink. It’s just the right thing to do. And these motherboard coasters are the perfect geek way to protect furniture from your Mountain Dew or Red Bull. Made from recycled electronic motherboards(obviously).

Get on board. A set of six will cost you just 12.99. No one likes messy furniture and every geek loves to look at motherboards.

The Sony Dash “personal internet viewer” is finally available for pre-order directly from Sony. It will cost you $199 and it’s good that you get one now while you still have money, because Sony will be shipping them out “on or about” April 15th at which time you will be short on cash.

We were not very excited about this one until we learned that it could stream shows and movies from netflix. Now we like it a whole lot more. All things considered, it should be worth the asking price.

Plextor has been in the optical drive market for years now. The company is branching out and has announced a pair of new SSDs that are available. The SSDs are the 64GB PX-64M1S and the 128GB PX-128M1S.

Both of the drives use non-volatile NAND flash memory and Marvell controller chipsets. The drives are both 2.5″ form factor units and use the SATA II interface. Plextor ships the SSDs with Acronis True Image software for backup and recovery.

Pioneer is one of the biggest names in home theater and home audio not to mention the popular products the company has for vehicles as well. Pioneer has unveiled a pair of new AV receivers that are 3D ready and reasonably priced.

The new receivers include the VSX-820-K and the VSX-520-K. The 820 is Works with iPhone certified. Both receivers can receive music streamed from Bluetooth phones or MP3 players with an optional Bluetooth accessory selling for $99.99.

The FCC has approved the Acer beTouch E110. The Android-powered smartphone will be compatible with AT&T’s 3G network (850/1900 MHz), but that’s no guarantee that it will be launched by AT&T. It could arrive on Rogers Wireless too.

The Acer beTouch E110 is equipped with a 2.8″ QVGA touchscreen display, GPS capability, a 3.5mm headphone jack, social networking, Acer web widgets support, a 3.2-megapixel camera, 256MB ROM, 256MB RAM and a 416MHz ST Ericsson PNX6715 processor.

The MSI Air Keyboard is an HTPC keyboard/mouse that fits in the palm of your hands. Think of it as a Wiimote with keyboard.

It has a QWERTY layout, ergonomic back and includes LB and RB shoulder trigger, just like a game controller. The Air can also be used as a mouse thanks to an internal accelerometer. So just like a Wiimote, you aim the device to control an onscreen cursor.

3D is a real pain in the ass. First, all of this new fancy 3D equipment is costing you a lot. But it’s not just the price. Your receivers can’t pass 3D signals because they aren’t equipped with HDMI 1.4. Here’s some more bad news. Only one of Sony’s 4 new receivers supports 3D.

The 7.1 channel, 110W STR-DN1010 will be Sony’s “affordable” 3D receiver. It will cost you $500 when it becomes available this June. It’s the first to support HDMI 1.4 3D pass-through technology over 4 HDMI ports.

Acer has a number of new Windows Mobile and Android devices to choose from. Among them are the Acer neoTouch P300 and neoTouch P400 which run Windows Mobile 6.5.3, the former featuring a 3.2-inch WQVGA touchscreen and slide-out QWERTY keyboard.

The Acer beTouch E110 and E400 run Android (1.5 Cupcake and 2.1 Eclair). The E110 has a 2.8-inch QVGA touchscreen and the E400 has a 3.2-inch HVGA touchscreen. All feature 3G and Bluetooth, while the E110 lacks WiFi b/g. And all have a 3.2-megapixel camera together with GPS and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
