But the Logic3 i-Station is not any dock because, grab onto your underpants, it can rotate. Rotate. Ro-ta-te, people, so you don't have to "strain your neck," like the press release says. You don't believe me? I'm not surprised. Check out the explicatory diagram by yourself.

Digital Cube says that their i-Station G43 is the smallest UMPC available, and the - apparently - french guy doing the interview not only believes them, but he seems to be wetting his pants with the excitement of it all in this video. I don't know if I would be excited about the prospect of running Windows XP on a AMD Geode LX800 processor with 256MB of RAM, but hey, whatever rocks your world.

In any case, this UMPC runs a full Windows on its 4.3 inch 800-pixel wide screen, and comes with up to 60 GBytes hard drive, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a USB Host port. All for only $700, including the XP license, which Digital Cube says you can then trash and install Linux. – Jesus Diaz

The successor to last year's V43, the T43 is a PMP that does what all good PMPs do: play your torrented videos and MP3s without making too much of a fuss. For the most part, it's pretty similar to last year's V43, but when was the last you expected consumer electronics companies to innovate?

The T43 has a few things going for it that make it something more than just a hard drive with a headphone jack. It can tune into DMB broadcasts, all but useless in the US, but given Digital Cube's location (South Korea), it makes sense. It even uses GPS in some capacity, by the looks of it, navigation. The 4.3" 480 x 272 pixel resolution screen will show off all the MPEGs and Xvids (among other formats) you feed its 20 or 30GB hard drive. It runs on Linux, no doubt winning it brownie points in the OSS community. If and when it makes its way out of Korea is unknown just yet, as well as for how much. But that information's boring anyway. – Nicholas Deleon
