MSI Wind Laptop to Make Eee PC Cry, "Eeek!"

Check out the latest entrant in the UMPC race, the MSI Wind, which we missed at CeBIT earlier last week. Toting a 10-inch display, Intel Shelton'08 platform, with variable processor speeds from 1.0GHz - 1.6GHz; 2.5-inch HDD or SSD, 1GB RAM, a reported 7-hour battery life and running either Linux or Windows operating systems, it seems MSI's offering holds a lot of promise.

Delicious (and Not So Delicious) GMC PC Case Designs

Although we think CeBIT is largely a waste of convention center, one standout was Korean PC-case master GMC (no relation to America's own troubled automotive titan). Its sexiest case concept was by far the disc-shaped red-and-black beauty captured by Aving above. Even its simple name, "Pot," evokes a feeling of peace and ease, tinged with faint pangs of hunger. The other designs below are innovative and practical, though some suffered from designer overkill, not to mention an overwhelming reliance on the color green. [Aving USA; GMC]

CeBIT, SCHMeBIT

CeBIT ended yesterday, and I can't say I miss it. [Ed note: It's still going on, I just didn't notice, sorry.] Most importantly, the product lines were thin. Secondly, there was a transport strike on the fair's first day. And, there is, apparently, a shortage of prostitutes in Hannover, a definite problem for the whore-mongering tech press corps. (You know who you are.) The last time it was important enough to attend was several years ago, and I'm not sure we're ever going to this show again. More »

ViDock Gfx Connects Your Laptop to a Whole Bunch of Displays

The ViDock Gfx is an Express Card/34 card and video box combo that can drive two external monitors. Nothing unusual there, except that the manufacturer claims this one is extremely fast and, quite frankly, seeing it in action in the photo above looked cool enough to be worthy of an entry in the Best Giz Readers' Computer Rigs contest. The ViDock Gfx will be available in April in 128- and 256-MByte flavors. Full press release after the jump.

iPhone to Get GPS Add-on, Courtesy of Nav N Go's iGO MyWay 8

At CeBIT this week, Nav N Go has been showing off its ghetto-looking iGO MyWay 8 for an "upcoming yet-to-be-announced iPhone GPS receiver." There's no more information beyond that, except that the software looks quite boring and doesn't seem to fully exploit the capabilities of multitouch. [Pocket-Lint]

Cops Shut Down Meizu's CeBIT Booth for Ripping Off Apple

It looks like we weren't the only ones not impressed with Meizu's M8 iPhone ripoff — its booth at CeBIT was shut down by the local police and all products and promotional materials were removed. Yikes! Apparently some other booths were shut down as well, as this was part of a wider initiative to protect patent and copyright owners. What does this mean for the fate of our favorite junk copycat Chinese ripoff phone? Time will tell. Stay strong, my friends.
UPDATE: The shutdown was actually due to a mistaken MP3-licensing issue and the booth is now back open. Apple had nuthin' to do with it. Carry on! [Heise via Electronista]

AMD Finally Shows Off Its 45nm Processors

At CeBit today AMD finally showed off the fruits of its 45nm labors—one server and one desktop chip, a far cry from the 16 Intel launched with Penryn's debut back in January. But, given AMD's woes lately, on the technical and biznass fronts, we're just glad to see 'em. More »

T303 Is Sony Ericsson's Latest Petite Slider

The new Sony Ericsson T303 may not be the Xperia X1, but it looks like a tiny, simple slider phone that will fit in any pocket. Sony Ericsson says that it combines "premium finish and materials with a good feature-set to deliver style with substance," which is probably their own stylish but insubstantial way of saying "hey, it's made of black or chrome metal, it has a camera, Bluetooth and FM radio, a mirror glass display, and it works!"

PQI's Intelligent Stick Flash Drives are Tiny, Waterproof, Dust-Proof

PQI's new Intelligent Stick USB flash drives may be a boon for those clumsy people, like myself, who often spill coffee on their electronics or get them soaking wet in pockets that let the rain in. I can't think of a time when I've got a gadget too dusty to use, but these tiny flash drives can even cope with that. Manufactured with a special COB process, they're available in 2GB and 4GB in a number of colors, and are due to be unveiled at CeBIT this week.

Woosim Waterproof Printer Will Give you Tickets

Woomsim's upcoming 3-inch roll paper printer won't do anything for you, except probably give you your next speed limit ticket. But we like it because of its bright orange jacket and because it reminds us of Domokun, the Cyclops Version. Look at those teeth. That thing is hungry. For your money. [Red Ferrett and Aving]

Sony/NEC's Optiarc Busts Out Five Blu-ray Burners at CeBIT, No HD DVDs in Sight

When Sony announced its joint venture with NEC over a year ago (resulting in a company called Optiarc), the company said it would be creating Blu-ray and DVD drives, and may produce HD DVD drives. CeBIT was another story, where the company rolled out no less than five Blu-ray burners at the big euro-show. Will the company also offer HD DVD burners, or, heaven forbid, combo devices that can handle both HD DVD and Blu-ray? Maybe. More »

CeBIT '07 Mod Contest Demonstrates Some People Have Way Too Much Free Time

Hello, I am a PC. Really, I am. I mean, if I were a Mac, I would probably be a New York cheesecake. With a T-shirt. Or a black turtleneck. Actually, this... thing is one of the entries for the PC case-mod contest celebrated at the World Cyber Games event, in CeBIT 2007. More »

Chinese Concept Phones: At Last, a Useful Place for a USB Connector

No idea whether these will ever make it into production, but Chinese phone company Huawei showed off three pretty spanky ideas at CeBit 2007. First up is a phone with a built-in USB connector that doesn't need any additional cables to function. Made of flexible rubber, the connector bends any which way you want to connect it to your computer to transfer data or recharge your phone. More crazy ideas and pics after the jump. More »

Samsung SPH-72x Photo Frames: Up To 12-inch With Wi-Fi and RSS, Will Get You Married

Later this year, Samsung will release 8- and 12-inch version of their new 800 x 480 pixel 7" photo frames. They don't only look like the lost son of an old Apple Cinema Display, but they are also Wi-Fi enabled and will automagically search for PCs with Vista, displaying photos, movies and MP3s stored on the PC via Windows Media Player 11. And images from the Internet, via RSS. More »

Samsung Ultra Music Phone: Colors Revealed, Probably Match Beyoncé's Underwear

We all knew Beyoncé was fronting Samsung's Ultra Phone, and we all guessed that the dual-screen cell would probably come in red, white, and black (we were so thankful they nixed it in pink), but did we have a clue that it would come in juicy orange and fabulous electric blue? Nope, we'll freely admit that we didn't see that coming and we LOVE it. And yes, we are that shallow. – Ad Dugdale More »

Sony Ericsson Virtually Floundering at CeBIT

For those who enjoy the almost-game Second Life, Sony set up a virtual CeBIT area for the Sony Ericcson line. But apparently it isn't going very well...
Ok, so our USBCELL bunny tried to find some folk at the Sony CEBIT 2007 event to chat. Sadly Kinda of empty. So thats a several hundred thousand dollar spend by Sony Ericcson in SL, but it's kinda off empty. Shame. Might as well go to the real Cebit show Sony Ericsson...
Anyone out there want to do some more Second Life/CeBIT reporting for us? Send it to tips! More »
