If you are looking for some SSD action for your computer, SanDisk is here to tempt you with its latest offerings. The company has announced its fourth-generation SSD lineup, which consists of the laptop-sized SSD G4 and the smaller SSD P4.

The former will be available in up to 256GB capacities with 220MB / sec read speeds and 160MB / sec writes. The latter will range in size from 8GB to 128GB. Expect both to enter the OEM market in Q3 2010. Sweet!

Looks like the Koreans will get the first shot at Samsung’s latest camcorders. The Samsung HMX-S16 camcorder is shipping in South Korea today in fact. This sexy black device boasts solid state storage and streaming video over WiFi. That’s reason enough to get one right there.

You won’t have to be jealous for long though. Amazon is already taking preorders for the 64GB model, which will ship May 28th for $1,200. You can also get the same 10 megapixel CMOS chip, 1080/60i recording and a 3.5-inch touchscreen LCD in a cheaper $1,000, 32GB package as well, in the HMX-S15 coming June 4th.

Solid state drives (SSD) are becoming more common everyday with prices coming down, so Buffalo has introduced this latest USB 3.0 external SSD for your consideration.

The SHD-PEHU3 portable drives will be available in capacities from 64GB to 256GB and will cost from 26,400 Yen (or $280) to 100,900 Yen (or $1,073) starting May 10. We all want faster file transfers, and with USB 3.0 devices showing up everywhere, we are getting them.

Here’s another tablet option for those looking for a new tablet. The Netbook Navigator Nav 9 tablet is now available for purchase for $599. Some features include a 8.9-inch (1024 x 600 pixel) multitouch display, a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU, 2GB RAM, and a 16GB solid state disk (supports up to 128GB).

That’s not all. Some other features include WiFi, Bluetooth, three USB ports, an SD card slot, a SIM card slot and optional 3G. The device measures 10-inches x 6.6-inches x 0.8-inches thick and uses a 3-cell (2200mAh) battery.

There are all kinds of computer geeks out there. Some of them like computers that are pre-built with fruity logos on them and others like hardware that is more open and the ability to roll their own machine to meet their needs. MSI has a new mainboard for the AMD fan looking for the latest features.

The board is called the 890GXM-G65 and offers USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gb/s interfaces. The board is aimed at HTPC use and supports DirectX 10.1 and UVD 2.0. The machine also has OC Genie Lite software for overclocking and uses solid-state capacitors.

The SSD is at some point going to replace the traditional HDD in many instances. Before that can happen though the SSD has to get more storage capacity and come down in price significantly. The performance benefits of a SSD compared to a HDD are already there. OCZ has added a new SSD to its Vertex line called the Vertex Limited Edition.

The LE SSD has more performance than the standard Vertex lien of drives. The SSD offers TRIM support for Windows 7 and uses MLC NAND for storage. The drive can resist shock up to 1500G and supports RAID configurations.

If you want to find out about a new device, just check out the FCC. They all pass through those hallowed halls eventually. This time we have some details on the LG XNote LGX30.

This ultrathin laptop features a 11.6-inch 1366 x 768 resolution display and we wouldn’t be surprised to see it at CES 2010. Some other features of the LG XNote LGX30 include: Windows 7, a 3-cell battery, Weighs 1.74 pounds, Bluetooth, Webcam, Solid state drive (SSD), Wi-Fi, GMA500 graphics.

Along with the picture above, Seagate has the following message “All These Planets Are Yours Except Europa, Attempt No Landing There.” And so Seagate has announced their first line of SSDs, named Pulsar. It’s a 2.5-inch drive in 50GB, 100GB and 200GB capacities.

The Pulsar drives are all 3Gb/s SATA compatible, with top read/write speeds of 240MB/s and 220MB/s. For comparison purposes, Intel’s X25-M hits 250MB/s read but only 100MB/s write, and the X25-M tops out at 160GB capacity.

Dell’s thinnest laptop ever still isn’t shipping out to consumers, but at least the Windows 7 machine is now configurable over on Dell’s website. The base price is $1,799 and includes a 1.4GHz Core 2 Duo SU9400 CPU, a 128GB solid state drive, 13.4-inch WLED panel, 2 megapixel camera, 4GB of DDR3 RAM, GS45 integrated graphics, WiFi and a USB Ethernet adapter.

Sadly most of the components are not upgradable, but there are a few upgrades available if you have the money. You’re looking at a December 22nd estimated ship date.

The wait is nearly over. Asus has finally committed to an October U.S and European arrival for the highly anticipated Asus Eee Keyboard. We had hoped it would be here in August. The keyboard has a 5-inch touchscreen and Ultra Wideband HDMI (with receiver) to connect to your TV. And we want one now.

Some of the Eee Keyboard’s specs include a 1.6GHz Atom processor, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, 16 or 32GB solid-state hard disk, 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and HDMI. We don’t have a price yet, but we’re hoping that Asus can keep it reasonable.

Tech21 is a case manufacturer offering a product that is best described as a state-changing material that can handle impacts the way Silly Putty does. If it hits a hard surface it becomes more solid, takes the impact, then releases it, all without damaging your device which is safely inside.

According to the company, the molecules at rest move freely in a gel that’s soft and flexible, but upon impact, the molecules “lock together to spread and absorb the force,”. This increases protection up to 134% compared to other cases. That means that your device can have a longer life.

If you’re in the market for a new notebook, Dell wants you to consider the new small business-oriented Vostro 1220. The 12.1″ model starts from $799 and goes up from there. This one is available in Obsidian Black and Deep Cherry Red.

The Vostro 1220 comes with a built-in DVD burner, 6-cell battery, integrated webcam and Dell Video Chat software. It’s powered by an Intel Celeron processor, but Dell will gladly upgrade it to an Intel Core 2 Duo processor.

Remember Lightlane? Lightlane was a pretty neat concept for bicyclists. Well, it seems that the response that the concept got was so overwhelming from bicyclists the world over, that the inventors actually decided to now make it into a commercial product.

It uses “super-bright red LEDs,” as well as two high visibility Diode-Pumped Solid State green lasers to project a path that should help to protect bikers on the street. The end result is that the biker and their path are clearly visible to those driving by.

At first glance, you might think that the ant watch is from Tokyoflash, but it’s actually from Seahope. It looks pretty confusing. Even more confusing than Tokyoflash watches.

I’ve looked at the image for a solid two hours and I still can’t figure out which ant does what. There is way too much math involved in this watch. It’s driving me nuts already and I don’t own the damn thing. Plus, all this attention to ants is making my skin crawl a little.

This rumor, if true, may be a sign that Apple wants to compete with netbooks or that in this economy, they don’t think that consumers will continue to pay a premium for the Apple name in the longterm. Either way, Apple may push the cost of the MacBook Air down while extending its feature set. Unnamed sources for SiliconRumors claim that an entry-level model will push the price down to between $1,300 and $1,500, or at least $300 less than the current model. Whether this would be a smaller model or just a price cut isn’t clear.

The same tips say that Apple will add at least an option for built-in 3G for wide-area wireless and may make solid-state drives standard on all models instead of a high-end option. GPS to locate the Mac is an option but “less likely.”
