Dell Latitude XT2 Specs Revealed
Preliminary specs and a product render for the Dell Latitude XT2 have been released, and appears the convertable tablet will include the Centrino 2 Montevina platform, an integrated optical drive and an eSATA port. The rest appears to be unchanged for the time being. Nothing shocking or revelatory, but the Latitude XT was a nice piece of tech, and I'm equally interested in the XT2. [Engadget]

modbook review
It was exactly a year from the time Axiotron first debuted their touchscreen MacBook at Macworld 2007 to the time we got the first hands-on of it at Macworld 2008, and that year of development time seems to have done the company some good. Not only is this ModBook the touchscreen Mac Apple fans have been looking for, it's got all the components of a MacBook, which means it's not a low-powered, stripped down, gimped version (MacBook Air) that sacrifices performance for the tablet pen sensitivity. And for that, we're thankful.

While the system already made a splash at Macworld 2007, we had the opportunity to test the final shipping model. Our 3-second verdict: it's an absolute joy to use. Here are our full impressions:

Macworld Rumor: Mac Tablet Not Coming This Year, First Macworld Spyshots Appear
Apple Insider has sources who say the Newton-esque tablets Apple are working on will not be announced at Macworld 2008. The unnamed tipsters say there are challenges in the development stages similar to problems which arose with the iPhone last year. And as proof that the Macworld madness is nearing, Apple Insider also received a gallery of spyshots, including a Macworld display banner that reads "2008...There's something in the air." What ever could it be?

The Skinny: HP's new tx2000 Entertainment Notebook (really a tablet) sequelizes its tx1000 tablet with a slight design change, a new Wacom digitizer "optimized for hand-writing capture" with a rechargeable eraser pen, updated chips and a snazzier skin. The Catch: N-Trig's DuoSense tech takes every other tablet down a couple of pegs.

Nevertheless, the guys at Axiotron have gone to work on an item all fanboys are lusting after, and the end result is looking rather tasty.
