Asus 'Seamless Experience' Concept Knows More About Your Coffee Than You Do
This slick Seamless Experience video from the Asus Computex booth is a neat glimpse at a future where even coffee cups have a story to tell. It looks, unsurprisingly, like Microsoft Surface. Let the marketing concept arms race commence. More » -

Hybrid Android/XP Tablet/Laptop Looks Nice, Has Me Confused
At first this seems like a good idea: A tablet that runs Android in stand-alone mode. Then you connect it to an HP Mini 1000 netbook and it will run Windows XP. More » -

Acer's Android Netbook Will Come With Windows, Fail at Being an "Android Netbook"
When a company says they're working on an Android netbook, people make assumptions: they'll come up with a fresh UI; they'll cater the netbook's hardware to Google's lightweight OS; they'll make it cheap. Acer is doing none of these things. More » -

Computex Spawns Hellish "MID Phone" Phenomenon
New device categories almost invariably fall between preexisting ones. Sometimes they find a useful niche, like netbooks. Other times, they seem like obsessive compulsive attempts to fill a tiny, intentional gap in the spectrum of consumer electronics. Like MID phones! More » -

Atom-Based Ferrari Makes Up for Lack of Horsepower With Extreme Levels of Novelty
There really isn't a whole lot that distinguishes a conference like Computex from a real life version of the Ben Heck forums: yesterday, we saw a PC in a vase; today, an Atom-based net-top in a Ferrari. More » -

SilverPac SilverFrame Is a Questionably Acceptable Use of the Term 'Digital Picture Frame'
If a device has a 10.1-inch touchscreen, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 512MB of RAM, 1GB of flash storage, Windows, a browser and an IM client, isn't it really just a PC? If you're SilverPac, apparently not. [Slashgear via BBG] -

Nvidia Announces 12 Tegra Products You'll Probably Never See, Tweaks Expectations
Nvidia is using Computex to herald the arrival of their system-on-a-chip Tegra platform, but it's not the most explosive debut. They've announced 12 netbook and tablet products from relative unknowns, and bizarrely altered their claims about the platform's capabilities. More » -

Albatron Rocker Mini Tablet Has Windows CE and Not Much Heft
An ultra slimline tablet from Albatron has been unveiled at Computex. The Rocker has a seven-inch 800 x 480 touchscreen, 128MB flash memory, Wi-fi, Bluetooth, a webcam, and SD and MMC slots. Weighing just 343 grams, the battery runs for six hours on a single charge, and it runs Windows CE. Not too shabby, really. [Aving via JKK Mobile] More »
