The new USB Rubber Vegas fan line from Enermax is unique because of how you mount the fans and move them around in your system. You don’t screw them in place. They use magnetic skin pads to attach to your case. Great news unless you have a plastic case.

The fans measure 12cm, are USB powered, and include 18 red or blue LEDs. You can switch between seven different lighting effects. These fans push 52.51CFM, spin at 1250RPM, and are rated at 21dBA.

A successor to the Dell Adamo ultra-thin laptop has been in the works and it is almost time for its retail debut. The first pictures of the device, supposedly called XPS 15z, have now shown up online. They first appeared on Mobile Review on Thursday.

The images show off the 15.6-inch Dell XPS 15z’s island-style keyboard flanked by speakers, two USB ports, a FireWire port and an HDMI output. All we know about the insides is that it will be powered by second-generation Core i5 and i7 processors. Sources say that it will be under $1000.

A printed brochure from Fujitsu has leaked, showing off the company’s new Loox F-07C smartphone/UMPC. The device can run dual operating systems. Both Windows 7 and Symbian OS. It is also equipped with a 4-inch screen with a resolution of 1024 x 600 and its powered by an Intel Atom Z600 at 1.2GHz and the GPU is an Intel 600 GMA with Direct X 9.0 support.

Onboard storage is a 32GB SSD with an additional SD card slot for expansion to another 32GB. There’s also a full QWERTY keyboard and it measures just 125mm H x 61mm W x 19.8mm.

Many of us are still using USB 2.0, and it will take some time to phase it out, but more and more USB 3.0 devices are arriving daily. Now it is Super Talent’s turn as it is introducing a new line of USB 3.0 flash drives at USB 2.0 prices.

The USB 3.0 Express DUO 2-CH flash drives feature a cap-less design and a nice piano black finish. The design makes it so that you twist the plastic housing to reveal the USB 3.0 port inside. It comes with Microsoft’s Security Essentials antivirus program right on the drive too. These new drives come in 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB capacities for about $19, $30, and $70.

Mineral Technology has just announced that they will be launching a new range of UMPCs that feature 7-inch displays. Shared specifications include WVGA resolution two-point multitouch displays, an Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz processor, Wi-Fi, GPS navigation, optional 3G, dual cameras, an SD memory card slot, VGA and Ethernet ports as well as trackpads.

They will come in black, green, white, and red. Prices start at $460 and go up to $540, depending on the configuration. They run off the Windows platform,.

We don’t have much info. Just a small image and a few specs at the moment, but it looks like NEC is working on a mobile business tablet PC that looks to be Android based. The touchscreen tablet has a 7- to 8-inch LCD display and NEC is apparently predicting that they’ll eventually ship over 1m of the UMPCs each year. So they seem pretty confident.

We don’t even have a name for the device yet, but it’s set to go on sale in Japan this fall. NEC is boasting that it’s a fast-booting device with heavy use of cloud-storage and cloud-computing “capable as a personal computer”.

Archos has finally unleashed more info regarding their upcoming touchscreen tablet, the Archos 9. The announcement comes at the same time as Microsoft’s prototype tablet, called Courier. The 9-inch tablet is powered by an Intel Atom processor, with up to 120GB of disk space, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth connectivity and Microsoft’s Windows 7 operating system.

Some other features include 1GB of RAM, a lithium-ion battery, webcam, and the virtual keyboard. It also comes bundled with software, which includes Microsoft Office and Skype.

French-based Bonitor has released a pair of new mini projectors for the mass market. The MP201 shown above and the MP301. Both projectors feature a native resolution of 640 x 480 4:3 pixels along with 15 lumens of brightness, a 1.57/1.62 throw ratio and a rechargeable battery.

The MP201 is specially designed for game consoles, DVD/Blu-ray disc players, mobile phone and portable media players and only has a Composite Video input. The MP301 on the other hand geared toward desktop computers, laptop, netbook and UMPC, and features USB and VGA connectors.

The Archos 9 PC Tablet isn’t the only touchscreen product to arrive from Archos today; there’s a much smaller finger-friendly screen on the Archos 3 PMP. A 3-inch touchscreen to be precise along with 8GB of flash memory for up to 4,000 songs. Nice.

It also features Archos’ new UI, a “virtual wheel” selector which supposedly makes navigating straightforward and easy. It’s unclear whether the wheel is an on-screen thing, a translucent overlay, or involves a touch-sensitive button on the lower front panel.

Archos has announced the Archos9, a UMPC that runs Windows 7. Its predecessors may be basic touchscreen internet media tablets, but the Archos9 can run a full OS. Some other features include a built-in webcam, 120GB of memory, full touch support, an external mic, streo speakers, and an optical trackpad as well as an on-screen keyboard.

The tablet will be available in Europe this October, just in time for Windows 7′s release. It will cost you €450 ($635).

I was never a fan of the tiny UMPC machines that hit the market place at inflated prices before the massive netbook revolution. The thing I never liked about the little machines was that the keyboards tended to be sized for thumb use only and I just couldn’t see them being useful in the real world.

One of the cool looking UMPCs at CES 2009 was the OQO Model 2+. The little machine promised an Intel Atom processor, 2GB of RAM, OLED touch screen and more. I was rather excited to see it at CES 2009 and while interesting, I didn’t think it stacked up at all against the mass of netbooks around.

The Clarion MiND appears to be a GPS navigation device at heart, but expanded into a special type of mobile internet hybrid device packed with connectivity and applications bringing dangerously close to a mobile PC, but just not quite. The mobile device has many addition features such as an internet browser, YouTube viewer, media player, file storage, weather, news, maps and of course navigation but runs its own type of hard-wired OS that leaves little for customizations.

The MiND is basically a small mobile computer running on an 800 MHz Intel Atom processor with 512MB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage (with an additional MicroSD card slot) and connects to the world via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and of course GPS. It also houses a couple of USB ports for connecting and transferring data, a headphone jack, speaker and docking port for an included dash mounting kit.

Looks like we will be getting an Eee-branded UMPC at some future date. It almost has to come to pass, what with these drool-worthy pics of an Eee PC 701 prototype, inspired by the original Origami R2H device found on Mobile1.

It does away with the keyboard and loses some weight, at just 1.68 pounds and even comes with a stylus. Sadly there’s no word yet on any release date. It may or may not ever make it into production, but it sure looks awesome and we’ll keep our fingers crossed.

The MBook M1 ultra-mobile PC looks like it’s pretty usable, unlike some of its competitors. The keyboard looks comfortable for one thing. This Windows-based UMPC is small in size, yet promises ease of use.

There is one tiny problem though. The device has no USB ports. Yes, it looks nice, but how do you use it productively? It’s use is severely limited.The MBook M1 gets points for looks though. That’s gotta count for something.

What do we have here? A new mystery swivel device that seems to feature a very tiny touchpad between the “mouse” buttons, but why not just make the entire display touch sensitive? Looks like a cross between an UMPC and a MID. This was snapped at Computex 2008 in Taipei in June.

Aside from the exterior, we don’t have any details. Your guess is as good as mine. The “P” symbol is probably where the Windows key is supposed to be. Who will carry the device if and when it ever comes out? What would be the operating system be? Tune in next time on “Mysteries of the swiveling kind”.
