We told you, didn’t we? Whether you want to call this a N98, a N900’s successor, or a N8 and QWERTY, what you’re seeking at on top of is potentially a physiognomy of Nokia’s next smartphone. It’s being dubbed a N9 by a folks at Negri Electronics, who additionally inform us it has an 8 megapixel imager upon a back, 850 / 1900 3G bands (good for AT&T, Rogers, Telus, and Bell), as well as “ridiculous shade distinctness.” This arrange of throws us for a double back, since we’re seeking at some straight Symbian movement up there, whereas Nokia has told us directly that there’ll be no more Symbian upon a N Series after the N8. A idea to what competence be starting upon is provided by the “C0″ tag during a upper left corner of this device, suggesting that it could be the future C Series member. All you know is which the thing seems flattering genuine and it’s headed to the full video review in a subsequent couple of days. Yay!

[Thanks, Jason]

Project Natal speckled in a furious, user primer as well as all? http://www.laptopdrv.net/2010/04/20/project-natal-speckled-in-a-furious-user-primer-as-well-as-all/ http://www.laptopdrv.net/2010/04/20/project-natal-speckled-in-a-furious-user-primer-as-well-as-all/#comments Tue, 20 Apr 2010 18:57:20 +0000 admin http://www.laptopdrv.net/2010/04/20/project-natal-speckled-in-a-furious-user-primer-as-well-as-all/ Project Natal speckled in a furious, user primer as well as all?

My, how you’ve grown. Since a day you schooled which PrimeSense was at the back of Microsoft’s Project Natal, we’ve been underneath a sense which a 3D camera hardware would be the lovable small face with 3 eyes. So because have been you staring during an additional hammerhead shark? Perhaps since this ultimate trickle isn’t genuine — or maybe since Microsoft hasn’t nailed down (or righteously doesn’t certitude testers with) a last hardware. Either approach, Multiplayer.it has the horde of cinema of an purported Natal exam pack, finish with user primer, as well as if their sources have been legit, it seems Natal will have the equippedwithamotor lean duty as well as need one more energy (via wall wart) as the outcome. The improved to lane your physique with, you suspect. See some-more pics during the source couple.

[Thanks, Skipper]

Microsoft Pink device speckled in a furious, expected ‘Turtle’ http://www.laptopdrv.net/2010/04/09/microsoft-pink-device-speckled-in-a-furious-expected-turtle/ http://www.laptopdrv.net/2010/04/09/microsoft-pink-device-speckled-in-a-furious-expected-turtle/#comments Fri, 09 Apr 2010 17:27:46 +0000 admin http://www.laptopdrv.net/2010/04/09/microsoft-pink-device-speckled-in-a-furious-expected-turtle/ Microsoft Pink device speckled in a furious, expected Turtle

There’s not much aswell this — as well as we’d similarto to apologize on interest of a uploader for a preference of music as well as transitions — though it looks similarto someone has managed to measure a shot of the Pink device tethered up to the lappie in a coffee emporium. From what we’ve seen leaked in a past, we’re reckoning this is a smaller indication known as “Turtle” internally with a mural QWERTY slide; it’s the funny-looking small savage, isn’t it? We don’t have most to go upon alternative than this singular shot, sadly — so unless you get alittle more luscious leakage forward of Monday, we’ll need to waitfor it out by a weekend to figure out what this is all about. Follow a mangle for the short video (and you competence suggest a quick press of your tongue-tied symbol prior to playing).

[Thanks, greenrolaids]

Asus Eee Case EB1501 gets unBoxed http://www.laptopdrv.net/2009/12/05/asus-eee-case-eb1501-gets-unboxed/ http://www.laptopdrv.net/2009/12/05/asus-eee-case-eb1501-gets-unboxed/#comments Sat, 05 Dec 2009 08:10:53 +0000 admin http://www.laptopdrv.net/2009/12/05/asus-eee-case-eb1501-gets-unboxed/ Asus Eee Case EB1501 gets unBoxed

With that fancy disc drive, NVIDIA Ion under the hood, and considerable aesthetic improvements, the Eee Box EB1501 has seemingly little to do with the Asus Eee Box of yore. So, is it as stunning in person as it is on paper? The folks at Blogeee.net ha ve unwrapped the thing and st ood it on its fancy metal stand, and they seem to be digging it — of course, their impressions are written in French, so we can never be entirely sure. Now if only Asus could work in an internal Blu-ray drive we’d be set! Hands-on video is after the break.

MSI Breeze U230 gets handled on video, SIM groove establish hiding underneath http://www.laptopdrv.net/2009/11/30/msi-breeze-u230-gets-handled-on-video-sim-groove-establish-hiding-underneath/ http://www.laptopdrv.net/2009/11/30/msi-breeze-u230-gets-handled-on-video-sim-groove-establish-hiding-underneath/#comments Mon, 30 Nov 2009 12:22:38 +0000 admin http://www.laptopdrv.net/2009/11/30/msi-breeze-u230-gets-handled-on-video-sim-groove-establish-hiding-underneath/ MSI Breeze U230 gets handled on video, SIM groove establish hiding underneath

MSI’s latest (and arguably greatest) 12.1-inch netbook just popped official earlier this month, and already it’s making the rounds at various shows. The crew over at NetbookNews managed to get their hands around one for just under three minutes, and during that brief window of time they were able to confirm that an AMD Athlon Neo X2 chip was with in. Al so on tap was a 500GB hard drive and a previously unannounced SIM card slot, though the €440 ($661) price tag seems a bit steep for “a netb ook.” Check the walk-around just after the break.

ASUS shows away Congo-based Eee PC 1201T netbook http://www.laptopdrv.net/2009/11/30/asus-shows-away-congo-based-eee-pc-1201t-netbook/ http://www.laptopdrv.net/2009/11/30/asus-shows-away-congo-based-eee-pc-1201t-netbook/#comments Mon, 30 Nov 2009 10:38:07 +0000 admin http://www.laptopdrv.net/2009/11/30/asus-shows-away-congo-based-eee-pc-1201t-netbook/ ASUS shows away Congo-based Eee PC 1201T netbook

ASUS’ Eee PC 1201HA just went on sale here in the States earlier today, but already it seems that the debatable father of netbooks is looking to one-up its own with the 1201T. Shown off r ecently at an event overseas, this 12.1-inch netbook gets powered by AMD’s Congo platform. The 1.6GHz MV40 CPU was at the helm, followed along by 2GB of DDR2 RAM, a 250GB hard drive, 6-cell battery and an enclosure that looks pretty much like every other Eee PC annou nced within the past six months. Mum’s the word on price and availability, but we’re guessing both of those will clear themselves up in short order.

Update: The Eee PC 1201T doesn’t have the ION chipset. Tho se responsible have been responsibly sacked.

LG’s Monaco (IQ) spotted in Telus garb, rocking WinMo 6.5 and Snapdragon http://www.laptopdrv.net/2009/11/24/lgs-monaco-iq-spotted-in-telus-garb-rocking-winmo-6-5-and-snapdragon/ http://www.laptopdrv.net/2009/11/24/lgs-monaco-iq-spotted-in-telus-garb-rocking-winmo-6-5-and-snapdragon/#comments Tue, 24 Nov 2009 05:40:56 +0000 admin http://www.laptopdrv.net/2009/11/24/lgs-monaco-iq-spotted-in-telus-garb-rocking-winmo-6-5-and-snapdragon/

LGs Monaco (IQ) spotted in Telus garb, rocking WinMo 6.5 and Snapdragon

It’s been a hot minute since we’ve heard anything about LG’s Monaco, but now it seems as if the wait for this to transition from presentation slide to reality is almost over. Unfortunately, Windows Mobile 7 won ‘t be onboard as previously rumored, but prospective Telus customers can look forward to LG’s S-Class interface sprucing things up somewhat. Other specs purportedly include a Snapdragon processor, WVGA display, 5 megapix el camera and a slide-o ut QWERTY keyboard, though nitty-gritty details beyond that are nil. Peep that read link if you’re lusting for a few more angles, and don’t kid yourself — you are.

Pegatron’s Ubuntu-equipped netbook spotted in the undomestic http://www.laptopdrv.net/2009/11/23/pegatrons-ubuntu-equipped-netbook-spotted-in-the-undomestic/ http://www.laptopdrv.net/2009/11/23/pegatrons-ubuntu-equipped-netbook-spotted-in-the-undomestic/#comments Mon, 23 Nov 2009 02:41:38 +0000 admin http://www.laptopdrv.net/2009/11/23/pegatrons-ubuntu-equipped-netbook-spotted-in-the-undomestic/ Pegatrons Ubuntu-equipped netbook spotted in the undomestic

It’s been a hot, hot minute since we’ve seen anything noteworthy from the lads and ladies over at Pegatron, so it’s not shocking that we’re su per tantalized by the prospect of yet another netbook flooding the oversaturated market in the near term. All unnecessary snideness aside, the sub-$200 price point that’s being floated about definitely has us interested, though the Ubuntu operating system is likely to fend off any non-adventurous would-be buyers. The machine was spotted at ARM’s Connected Community Technical Symposium 200 9 over in Taiwan, and while the actu al internals remain a mystery, snoopers were told that it’ll boast instant-on capabilities and a low power draw. Huzzah?
