We found out late last month that Lenovo had killed off the interesting sounding Skylight smartbook in favor of devices running Android. Lenovo is showing off a new design for a smartbook that looks very interesting. The new device is being shown off by Freescale, who provides the hardware platform.[slash]

Acme Made Slick Case & Skinny Sleeve for iPad Review

If there’s one thing there’s no shortage of, it’s cases for Apple products: accessory manufacturers know a good market when they see one, and protecting your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad is an excellent example. Acme Made sent over two of their latest cases for the iPad, the Slick Case and the Skinny Sleeve; check out our review after the cut.[slash]

Sony VAIO Z and Y notebooks get “Share My Connection” WiFi router functionality
Sharing a single data connection across multiple WiFi devices seems to be a growing trend these days, popularised by the MiFi mobile hotspots and then spreading to cellphones and now laptops. Sony has announced that their VAIO Z and Y series notebooks will have a “Share My Connection” (SMC) option, that when turned on allows up to five nearby devices to connect via WiFi.[slash]
ColorWare Moves on to HDTVs

We’ve brought you plenty of gadgets that ColorWare has splattered with their paints before, ranging from Nexus Ones to Macs, there’s nothing that they won’t color for you. And, after today, that statement has never been more true. They’ve finally added a whole new addition to their coloring options, going for something a bit more stationary, and in your home. Want to paint up that brand new HDTV you just bought? Good, because now you can.[slash]

Accompanying the image – which suggests the DROID X will slot in-between the original DROID and DROID Incredible – are a few basic specifications: a 4.3-inch, 720p capable display and an HDMI output.[slashgear]

HTC EVO 4G Review
Long anticipated, hugely specified and just plain huge: there’s a lot to like about the HTC EVO 4G. The first WiMAX phone in the US brings with it the promise of DSL-like mobile data access along with the flexibility of Google’s Android OS, complete with HTC’s now-legendary hardware quality and flexible Sense UI. On the flip side it’s nowhere near cheap and WiMAX coverage is marginal. Is this new superphone faster than a speeding bullet, or is that just how quickly it drains its battery? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.[slash]
iLuv iSP130, iSP150, and iSP170 Speaker Options Available Now

When we think about iLuv, we’re reminded of some very interesting, if not completely innovative accessories. And this time around, with the introduction of three new speaker options, iLuv hasn’t missed the mark. Each accessory is designed for a particular gadget in mind, ranging from your laptop to your iPod Touch, but all of which will bring you your audio needs in great quality.[slashgear]
BeBionic Bionic Hand Set for Worldwide Distribution in June
Bionic hands. Sometimes linked with some pretty heavy-duty bionic arms, are the thing of the future. And, while some people probably think they're still a few years out, it looks like a company called BeBionic wants to make it happen now. Not this week or anything, but much sooner than later. And, if anything else, you need to watch the video after the break. It's worth it. [slashgear]

White iPhone HD spotted in wild

A white iPhone HD isn’t exactly a new idea, but according to Apple.pro you’re looking at the real thing lying alongside its black brethren. Going by the second photo – which you can see after the cut – the handset hasn’t been fully assembled yet; there’s a considerable gap around the home button, for a start. Still, the front-facing camera is far more noticeable on this lighter hued model.[slashgear]
Nokia N8 benchmarks tip 180% speed boost over N97

While Nokia’s overall specifications for the N8 generally met with approval – if not, in the case the 12-megapixel camera, outright lust – the smartphone’s 680MHz processor led to some criticism that the phone might not keep up with its Android and Windows Phone rivals. Over at Finestfones they’ve apparently had enough hands-on time with an N8 prototype to run some benchmarking tests, and the reassuring news is that, in comparison with previous Symbian handsets, it’s quite the little speed demon.[slashgear]
Alienware M11x Core i3, i5 and i7 update due June

We weren’t exactly disappointed by the Alienware M11x gaming ultraportable’s performance when we reviewed it a few months back, but nor would we turn our noses up at a speed boost should Dell be so kind. As the rumors suggested, Dell are apparently planning to slot Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 CPUs into the 11.6-inch notebook, and according to Pearce Clune, Head of Consumer Operations for Middle East, Africa and Turkey, we can expect it next month.[slashgear]
[WIS 2010 - Preview] S-view to introduce its privacy screen protector for LCD monitors

SEOUL, Korea (AVING Special Report on 'World IT Show 2010') --

Motorola Droid Will Receive Android 2.2 in the Near Future

You have to love the careful wording of any company out there. But, to be honest, this one from Motorola seems to ring a little differently. Almost like a different tone. Maybe that’s just because we have way too much faith, or hope. Either way, we reached out to Motorola, looking for a comment pertaining to future updates to their devices and how that all relates to Android 2.2, or Froyo if you prefer. And believe it or not, it’s good news.[slashgear]
[WIS 2010 - Preview] RSUPPORT to present its web-based remote PC access solution

SEOUL, Korea (AVING Special Report on 'World IT Show 2010') --

iPod Touch With Camera Leaked

Vietnam-based website Tinhte has managed to get the first picture and video of the next generation iPod Touch. According to them, the device will sport a 2-megapixel camera and a 64GB of storage space. Unfortunately, it’s only a prototype at this stage, as you could see it has a DVT-1 (Design Verification Test 1) label on the back, meaning it’s an early design verification test unit in the evolution of product testing. Watch the video after the break.[tech24]
22 Megapixel Laptop drives huge multitouch wall
Remember the 22-megapixel multitouch wall display from a few months back? Having all those millions of pixels whipping around to follow your gestures is all well and good, but the 30 PCs used to drive the 28 projectors involved sucks down power, produces masses of heat and isn't exactly practical for home users. How about driving that same 22MP wall display, 28 projectors, from a single MacBook Pro? Video demo after the cut [slashgear]
ExoPC Gets Caught on Video, Still Features Windows 7

We say that it still features Windows 7, because we’re shocked that this tablet can boot up as quickly as it does, considering it’s stuffed with a full Operating System. But, in all honesty, that’s just one reason why we’re so excited to see the ExoPC up and running, with a video that will make you want your own in no time. And while we know there’s plenty of other tablets out there, we hope that this one’s stayed on your radar, because it’s definitely worth the excitement.[slashgear]

Nokia and Yahoo! deal for mobile services imminent?

Nokia are going full-steam ahead with their own package of services – the feature-toting update to Ovi Maps earlier this week is proof of that – but are they also planning a deal with Yahoo! which will see the latter company’s email, search and other applications and services built into certain Nokia models? That’s what AllThingsD are reporting, having been invited to Yahoo!’s “Project Nike” launch next week with the promise of “an exciting announcement about providing global consumers with rich online and mobile experiences”. They dug around and came up not only with the Nokia connection but some particularly snide comments about both firms.[slashgear]
