Case logic sleeve for the LG P100


Just bought myself a new case/sleeve for the LG P100 today. I am a big case fiend and have way too many bags and sleeves for my gadgets. But this one stood out today as a good solution for carrying the LG around when it's out of my backpack. Normally I just carry it in my hands but this has never been ideal. I'll put some pictures up tomoorow of it in use and do a quick review then also.

The Case logic sleeve says it's designed for 7-10 inch ultra portable laptops and I'm guessing that's aimed squarely at the eePC market.

One thumb to rule them all - video

Just had to share a video I saw last week. Absolutely amazing guy who has over come the ugest of difficulties:

Mactablet? OSX running on a convertible tablet PC

Not really a full mac tablet but rather a Gigabyte UMPC convertible tablet PC running OSX (and Vista dual boot). Pretty cool though as he's got almost everything working and it's pretty quick. All the tablet features work fine.

gigabyte m912x running mac os x Leopard 10.5.5 with full touchscreen support and all hardware working. Also internal 3G mod added which works in either vista or os x, which it is dual booting.

Some of my favourite *fake* mactablet images



I do love the look of this device:

Phone, MID, car PC, portable TV, small netbook?



Mac Netbook? Steve says not coming and frankly who cares

I have been reading about Apple and the talk with Steve Jobs about not entering the Netbook market. There are so many choices in that market that who really cares if Mac gets into it? Not I.

What value would an Apple Netbook add to the segment? OSX? Well we have an alternative to Windows and that's the netbook Linux.

The Air was without precendent and so was the TAM, Cube, Lampshade iMac, so there was a reason for making these showoff things but the netbook market is flooded already and I think we have enough.

Bring on the Mactablet though as it's a section of the market that could do with some innovation the likes of which Apple may be able to bring; but maybe not with Jobs at the helm.

Many many rumours about a Tablet release

In the last couple of days we've been inundated with rumours about a Mactablet. Again. The next Apple product release may contain a Tablet, but it may also contain a new Apple TV thingmee, or a Polar Ray Dynoshphere for all we know. I'll try to collate the rumours and post a list tonight.
