MSI has been in the netbook market for a long time now and for a while early on the company had one of the most popular netbooks around with its U100. Netbooks are everywhere today with models for companies that don’t even sell computers traditionally.

MSI has unveiled a new limited edition netbook to commemorate the millions of Wind netbooks sold globally. The special edition is the U135 and it runs the Intel Pine Trail N450 CPU. The machine will come in silver, charcoal, ruby, and sapphire colors.

On the same day that Apple is slated to announce its much hyped tablet, Archos makes the news with some whispers of an Archos 7 tablet powered by Google’s Android operating system. The Archos 7 is much like its smaller relative, the Archos 5 and features a 7″ touchscreen display with a 800 x 480 resolution.

Some other specs include at least 8GB of storage, an SDHC memory card slot, Wi-Fi, GPS and pre-loaded Google apps. Look for it to arrive in March from 180 Euros and up. Look for Apple’s tablet to hit later today and laugh.

Looks like the ASUS DR-950, the company’s newest 9-inch E Ink, touchscreen reading device will be arriving in April. ASUS has confirmed that it’s currently looking for content partners, but plans to have the e-reader in consumer’s hands by spring.

The price will be about £250 (or $354). We like it, with it’s 2 or 4GB or internal storage, Wi-Fi and 3G. But we are more excited about the OLED color DR-570 which is coming soon.

Averatec in Japan has announced two brand new All-in-One PCs, the AVA8325E7BD and AVA8325E7SM. The AVA8325E7BD has 3GB of RAM with a 320GB HDD, while the latter has 2GB of RAM and a 250GB HDD.

Both feature an 18.4 LCD screen at 1680 x 945, Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium and a 1.5GHz AMD Athlon X2 3250e Dual Core CPU. Both models will be released at the end of the month for the equivalent of $774 and $996.

Our excitement over the eee Keyboard has grown stale after waiting so long for it, but the Cross PC U510 might be a good alternative. The Cross PC U510 packs in a 1.6GHZ Nvidia Ion, 2GB RAM, 250GB SATA hard drive, with a 5-inch TFT touchscreen embedded on the surface.

Some other features include Wi-Fi, handwriting recognition, and 3D graphics. It has to rely on external power though, having no battery. It can be connected to a normal display, HD TV, and projectors , but no support for dual displays.

Hitachi’s new LCD TVs from the Wooo range are the L26-HP05 and L22-HP05 and can be expected on March 3rd in Japan, retailing for €845 and €995. Both models have a 250GB hard drive for your TV recording needs and BS/110°CS digital TV tuners.

Some other features include a 1,366 x 768 resolution, 400cd/m2 brightness, and DLNA compatibility. Refreshingly, there’s not a hint of 3D support, which we kind of admire.

Do you love TV and radio? Want them in your netbook? Of course you do. Onkyo is launching some new netbooks that feature an AM/FM tuner and a digital terrestrial tuner card for receiving digital TV. The C411A6 has a miniB-CAS system so you can connect cable or an external antenna to the F-type connector for TV viewing. There’s also a recording feature using “PureSpace”.

The C411A5 has a miniPCI chip with an AM / FM radio tuner built-in. You can record your favorite shows with this one too. The PureSpace app sends signals directly to the “PDAP (Pure Direct Audio Path)” so don’t worry about alerts not being heard.

Some info about the Toshiba E205 surfaced at CES earlier this month. The notebook is a Best Buy exclusive and is among the first notebooks to take advantage of Intel Wireless Display technology. When the machine was first heard of the retail price was pegged at nearly $1000.

Best Buy is now shipping the E205-S1904 notebook for $899.99. For the money, you get the Intel Wireless Display tech and a Netgear Push2TV adapter to allow you to send video and other content wirelessly to your HDTV in the living room.

Sony unveiled its Transfer Jet technology at CES. The tech promises to let users send images and video wirelessly between cameras, computers, and TVs at speeds over 500Mbps. Sony has announced its first memory card sporting the tech and it is up for pre-order.

The memory card is called the 8GB Memory Stick with Transfer Jet. The memory card reminds me a lot of the Eye-Fi SD cards that have been around for a while. The main difference is the Sony Transfer Jet tech doesn’t upload to photo and video sharing sites automatically.

The VESA group has released the latest DisplayPort version 1.2 which delivers 21.6Gbps of data rate, making it ideal for handling 3D, color depths higher than 24-bit and faster frame rates. It can also handle multi-streaming. A single cable is capable of outputing two 2560×1600 displays at full frame rate, four 1920×1200 screens, or a single screen with a resolution of 3,840 x 2,400 pixels.

The data channel that was introduced with DisplayPort now hits 720Mbps with DisplayPort 1.2, enabling it to run at full speed via the display cable and gives it Dolby or DTS audio as well as headroom for webcams, 100Mbps Ethernet and other technology that would normally require a separate cable.

GammaTech finally has another rugged laptop model. GammaTech’s new Durabook D14 E-Series is the first fully rugged laptop to be equipped with 1TB of storage, making it rugged and spacious. But aside from that, the laptop is very similar to the previous D14RM model.

It features a 14.1-inch screen, a Core 2 Duo processor “greater than 2GHz,” up to 8GB of RAM, and either RAID-0 or RAID-1 configuration options for dual 500GB hard drives. Nothing on a price yet, but you can plan on paying over $1,500.

That model sure looks happy about having three new Samsung all-in-ones. And why not? It’s good news. Korea will be getting three new all-in-one PCs from the company. The MU100 packs an Intel Atom N450 CPU, 2GB of RAM, a 320GB hard drive, and Intel GMA 3150 graphics.

The 20-inch MU200 has an Intel Pentium T4400 processor and GeForce G310 graphics with 512MB of VRAM. Lastly, the 23-inch, full HD MU250 has an Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 CPU, 3GB of RAM, a 500GB of HDD, GeForce G310 graphics with 512MB of VRAM.

There are many computer users out there waiting for the SSD to come down in price enough that it is easy to afford the new tech. The SSD has many benefits over the standard HDD and once the price comes down many more computer users will probably upgrade.

Kingston showed off a new SSD at CES that is very well priced. The SSD is called the SSDNow V series 30GB Boot Drive and it ships with Windows 7 TRIM functionality. The SSD will be priced at $79.99 when it launches in February after rebates.

Samsung has announced a new line of stylish and rugged hard drives at CES 2010. Judging by the image above, stylish means that they match your grandmother’s couch. These will come in 3 different physical sizes, 1.8”, 2.5” and 3.5”.

The drive is rugged enough to survive drops and also survive spills from liquids. The G2 portable will be boast hard drive sizes from 250GB to 640GB, while the G3 station will come in 1-2TB capacities. The G3 will even switch itself off when the computer is off and it’s not in use.

LG’s new Blu-ray player won’t rip and store your movies, but the BD590 is still pretty decent. The BD590 will store your music, photos, downloaded movies, rip CDs etc, via USB or Ethernet port, though apparently not through its 802.11n Wi-Fi connection for some reason.

Unfortunately, no DVD and Blu-ray archiving. Which isn’t surprising for legal reasons. Anyway 250GB isn’t ideal for ripping Blu-Ray movies.
