Fujitsu LifeBook P1630: not a netbook tablet
Catching up on news from the weekend, news of Fujitsu’s update to their LifeBook P1630 has hit the web thanks to the FCC. I love when news breaks, or products are announced, via some sort of government agency. There’s something particularly satisfying about products being outed in this fashion. Anyhow, what can you expect from the update to this tablet computer (it’s not really a netbook tablet because it predates them)? (more…)
Apple tablet computer?
Sure, this was the big story that broke yesterday, the patent documents Apple submitted two years ago. I didn’t want to write anything at the time, but now that I’ve thought about it for a bit and looked at how they purport it to work, I think I’m ready to say that it’s a good idea and that I’ll be looking forward to using one in a few months.

Albatron mini tablet Tee PC
Albatron, who you might know from the video card market, has announced they’re releasing a mini tablet computer, dubbed the Tee PC that sports a rather large screen for the hardware it has crammed inside. While not exactly a netbook or a true tablet computer, Albatron has targeted an audience that I think evaporated when HP stopped producing the iPAQ. Still, that said, I have a fondness for these things that makes it hard to hate on it too much. (more…)
Intel UrbanMax Tablet Computer: More Details and Video
Hot on the heels of the pictures and initial light information and speculation, there’s more information out regarding the slick Intel UrbanMax. Is it a tablet? A netbook? Netbook tablet computer? Tablet netbook? A netlet? (Please, don’t let that term catch on.) Well, according to Intel, it’s primarily designed as a touch device, but that still doesn’t answer the question. (more…)
Intel’s UrbanMax, a tablet computer I think I actually like
So I know it probably looks like I’m a little wishy washy when it comes to tablet computers, but Intel’s UrbanMax looks like one I can get excited about. It’s hard to pin down to a few words why I like this tablet computer and dislike others, but there’s something promising about this concept tablet. (more…)
News round-up: another tablet; VIA; Qualcomm netbook?
First on the list is another netbook tablet being powered by the Atom from Arbor (who?). I know I railed on poor Kohjinsha’s upcoming netbook tablet, but this one is a little more interesting to me because it’s a 7″ tablet computer, and it’s been ruggedized. The market may not be the standard consumer market but rather military or other similar “rough” markets where computers need to withstand a beating. (more…)
Kohjinsha’s netbook tablet — wait, what?
So another company has entered the Atom based netbook game, but this time Kohjinsha has seen fit to include a touch screen on their 8.9″ netbook. So does that make it a netbook tablet computer, or a tablet netbook? Regardless, the good: the resolution is 1280*768. Now, the bad: it has a touch screen.
