IMOVIO has launched a new cellphone-sized computer that is aimed at something similar to the subnotebook market. While it doesn't have 3G of its own, it does have a QWERTY keyboard, wifi, and a $175 price point. "It can connect to the Internet using a standard Wi-Fi connection, or it can use your cell phone's mobile broadband connection via Bluetooth. The company is currently pitching it to mobile network operators and retail stores. It's being compared to the ill-fated Palm Foleo. But the comparison doesn't work because the Foleo was Palm-phone only, didn't fit in a pocket and cost well over three times the price of the iKIT. Read more of this story at Slashdot. ...

When Palm dropped the Foleo from its product lineup, we at mytreo.net were disappointed. In our view the ultra-mobile PC segment of the computer market has legs.

Firma OLO Computer ponoć rozważa wprowadzenie na rynek netbooko-podobnego urządzenia, które umożliwiałoby synchronizację z iPhonem/ iPhonem 3G poprzez wciśnięcie telefonu w miejsce touchpada. Jabłuszko miałoby służyć jako mózg urządzenia i, co mało zaskakujące, jednocześnie udawać touchpad. Póki co nie ma konkretnych specyfikacji, z których można by się ponabijać, ale wiemy jedno. Wcześniejsze próby stworzenia takiego urządzenia zakończyły się niepowodzeniem. Wystarczy spojrzeć na porzucony projekt Palm o nazwie Foleo czy na Celio REDFLY, którego znajdziecie w supermarketach w tym samym koszyku, co płyty ze złotymi przebojami Papa Dance. OLO, nie próbujemy was odwieść od tego zamiaru, ale na waszym miejscu przygotowalibyśmy plan awaryjny na wypadek, gdyby np. Apple chciał jutro przedstawić światu własnego netbooka.

Filed under: Cellphones , Laptops You were looking for a laugh to start your Columbus Day / Canadian Thanksgiving Day / etc. off, weren't you? Consider yourself lucky. OLO Computer is reportedly thinking of bringing to market a netbook-styled device that would actually enable (require?) users to plop their iPhone / iPhone 3G into the Palm rest; from there, the handset would act as the brains of the operation and double as a trackpad. At the present time, there are no real specifications to speak of -- just a zany teaser page and lots of speculation. We shouldn't have to remind you what an epic failure the whole "cellphone companion" sector has been, as one look at Palm's axed Foleo and the deeply discounted Celio REDFLY should be explanation enough. Hey, we're not trying to discourage you from giving this a go, OLO, but we'd probably have a backup plan ready to roll in case Apple itself drops a netbook on the world in the next 48 hours .

Filed under: Laptops Each week Ross Rubin contributes Switched On , a column about consumer technology. A special note this week; this post marks the fourth year of Switched On columns for Engadget, and we'd like to give a big thanks to Ross for all his hard work and intriguing ideas. We're looking forward to the next four! -ed. Palm's abandoned Foleo had a split personality. It was positioned as a smartphone companion, but it was also a new platform. Consumers expected to pay less for the former and saw no need for the latter. But the idea of a small, inexpensive notebook computer certainly struck a chord and now many major PC manufacturers sell Linux and Windows-based " netbooks " that generally start at $499 or less. They are even starting to migrate toward the 10-inch screens that Foleo champion Jeff Hawkins promoted as ideal for accommodating a full-sized keyboard. However, ceci n'est pas une Foleo . While the big boys have pursued one part of the Foleo's promise, Celio Corp. is taking on the other part. The REDFLY "smartphone terminal" (a description that leaves no doubt off the bat that this is currently an IT-focused product) looks like a small notebook PC, but it does not have any processing capabilities of its own.Instead, it uses the operating system and wireless connectivity of a growing list of supported Windows Mobile smartphones. Wrapped in a smooth rubbery plum coating, its industrial styling includes an 8.3-inch ...
If you’ve heeded Oprah’s call and got yourself an Amazon Kindle, or you’ve had one for quite some time, then you’ll be pleased to know about the Periscope Lighted Folio. This accessory makes it so you can keep your Kindle lit up, even when trying to get through a few chapters in the dark. One of the most common misconceptions about the Amazon Kindle is that it is backlit. In fact, it’s not backlit at all because it uses an E-Ink display. This makes it much easier on the eyes, but it also makes it impossible to read in the dark. The Periscope Lighted Folio is a new accessory that features a twin LED light that can be retracted into the folio when not in use. The folio is 5-inches by 8-inches and will fit the Kindle perfectly. There is also a pen pocket. The device comes with 3 AA batteries and you can get an optional AC adapter as well. Covered in black leatherette, the Folio sells for $49.95 and is available now.

If you want an environmentally-friendly laptop, it can be hard to find a product that is sufficiently green. However, at the very least, you can be assured that the exterior of your notebook is eco-conscious with the ASUS U6V-B1-Bamboo laptop. In fact, you can now pre-order this 12.1-inch ultraportable laptop on Amazon.com. It features a Moso bamboo cover and Palm rest that is “artisan grade,” making it stylish and sustainable. The touch pad also has bamboo fiber patterns on it, making it feel as though you’re scrolling and pointing on a bamboo surface. Specs for the ASUS U6V-B1-Bamboo include a 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 processor, a 320GB hard drive, a NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS 256MB graphics card and more. The display is LED backlit and features a 1280 x 800 resolution. An optical drive is included and you can expect to be running on Windows Vista Business. This bamboo wonder is available for pre-order on Amazon now for $1,999 .

Are you ready for the unholy matrimony of two of the year's biggest technology trends? That's right - soon you'll be able to turn your iPhone into a Eee PC-style netbook. Simply slot your iPhone into the space where the trackpad normally sits, and then enjoy all your applications with a full mechanical keyboard and 8.9" screen. It's a little bit reminiscent of the ill-fated Palm Foleo , which could have been the first netbook, but was instead cancelled after a wave of criticism along the lines of "but no-one would want to carry a tiny notebook computer around!". I bet Palm are cursing the Eee PC every day... ...
One of the regular concepts we see over at iPhoneBuzz is Apple slotting the iPhone 3G into the Palm-rest of a MacBook and making it serve double-duty as connectivity and multitouch trackpad. When it’s attributed to Apple it’s pretty laughable; when a third-party claims to be doing it, as is the case with OLO Computer , you fall off the scale into hilariously unlikely. OLO Computer’s concept is a netbook (with strikingly MacBook Air-style design) into which you drop your iPhone 3G whereupon it grants internet access and control. It’s unclear whether OLO envisage the iPhone powering everything - which would make the OS X screenshot on the mock-up’s display a little confusing, as that’s not the OS the iPhone runs - or if it would be a standalone device with its own software. The inevitable comparisons are being made to the ill-fated Palm Foleo and the recently-price-scythed Celio RedFly ; the former didn’t make it out of the prototype stage, while the latter has required a 60-percent price cut (to just $199) in order to sell. Of course, with specs, pricing, proof-of-concept (and just about everything else we’d like to see) missing from the OLO website, color us sceptical.

HTC have announced the release date for their Touch HD smartphone . The Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro device, which has a 3.8-inch WVGA 800 x 480 touchscreen with haptic feedback, a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus and 3G HSDPA, will be available in Europe come November 6th. Other specs include GPS, a front-facing VGA camera for video messaging, WiFi b/g, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP support and a microSDHC card slot. In a pleasant change for HTC, the Touch HD also includes a 3.5mm headphone socket. Earlier this month , HTC disappointed US would-be Touch HD owners by revealing that the handset would not get an official release outside of Europe and Asia. The smartphone lacks US-spec 3G band support, without which it would be limited to EDGE speeds at most (unless in a convenient WiFi hotspot), and HTC predicted that by the time they had engineered a new version the handset would be outdated. The MRSP for the HTC Touch HD is €649 ($881).
