It’s a 7″ tablet with a 1024×600 WSVGA capacitive touchscreen. It’s supports multitouch and features HDMI out. Some other notable things are flash, dual cameras, 1080p HD playback and multi-tasking. They have obviously been working hard on the tablet and even the tablet OS looks good. When it was first rumored I had thoughts of the original storm and it’s hacked together touch interface. RIM posted a preview video which I embedded below.

It’s a 10″ screen that’s powered by an Atom. I have embedded a video below. The interface really does need a lot of work. They have trouble getting the touchscreen to respond. Reminds me of the Latitude 2100 I had which shipped with linux and a bad driver where the touchscreen was horrible. Still a cool concept that I hope makes it to market.

It would be perfect for a kitchen device but it reminds me a lot of the Verizon Hub. The Verizon Hub didn’t last very long. Even though I have an iPad it hasn’t fit my kitchen computer needs, so I think there is still a market for a inexpensive kitchen computer. More at SlashGear.

Engadget has released their full review of the tablet. Seems like the JooJoo was rushed to market but I think they missed the market anyway. They probably would have had a lot more sales 3 months ago. Good news is that Fusion Garage plans software upgrades soon and will release them quickly.

The HP Slate is one device that will make you take a closer look. With two cameras, front and back, and the full computing experience it will fit the needs of a lot of people. The one thing that concerns me is the 5 hours of battery life. Just like a laptop you will eventually have to find a plug for a day of computing. HP has some more detail about it on their site and I embedded a video below. The video shows off Skype which is probably a jab at the iPad since it doesn’t have a camera.

People that pre-ordered the JooJoo are getting the product. Engadget got theirs and did a walk thru on video. I don’t think it holds anything to the iPad but it does have Flash. The video is below.

Well maybe not a lot of details because I still want to know more. The device looks really cool and I wish there was a release date and price. The device is small, like the size of a 5×7 photo. Engadget has all the details I have embedded their video below.

Courier User Interface from Gizmodo on Vimeo.

The Microsoft Courier Tablet looks to be a very interesting product. The video above calls it a infinite journal. More for note taking and scrapbook. Maybe there are too many Macs showing up in schools and a device like this will help stop that. It is completely different from tablets on the market today. It has two screens, camera on the back and uses a combination of multi-touch and pen input. Even though the video talks about it being an infinite journal, I’m guessing they have many uses planned for this device. Gizmodo has more info about the tablet. They say it’s a really product being tested.

We finally got our Nokia N800. We ordered two of them here at work. I have been playing around with it this evening. I’m not going to post a bunch of pictures of it because there are pictures all over the place online. So far I am really happy with it. There are a few things that bother me about it but I’m sure it’s because I haven’t got into all the customizing of the settings. I did want to tell everyone that Gizmo has an installer for the N800 on their website. So if your a Gizmo user then you won’t have to setup the nokia as a jabber client. Now I keep hearing that skype is supposed to be compatible but there is no installer yet. Hey skype, post a beta for the N800 because I would love to try it out with the video. Right now there is no way to video conference with a built in client. You have to use the Nokia conference program to use video. Not a great solution. I found it to be rather annoying. My thinking is that Skype wasn’t ready but Nokia wanted to release the N800. The Nokia does come loaded with Google search, maps, mail, talk, and news. It was a good idea including Google products. The wifi has great range. I can pick up more wireless signals then my MacBook Pro. RSS reader is a nice touch. You can also store different RSS’s into folders. Web browsing is fast for text but with picture heavy websites it is slower than my Windows Mobile phone. Still plenty of power for web surfing. Like I said I’m happy with the N800. Since I work in a business environment I am working on getting exchange email on it, along with outlook contacts. I’ll give a more detailed update once I use it for a little while. The above list are just some of my first thoughts.
