Intel has taken over the processing world. In fact, I would call it just short of a monopoly. With just about every netbook, desktop computer, and now phone powered by Intel processors, it is no wonder why Intel has had its best quarter ever. With it’s overall revenue just under $11 billion, the company saw more »

With only a few hours left of 2009, Acer has decided to drop the details on its newest Aspire One netbook. Not a huge surprise given the recent Pine Trail Atom updates, and as a whole the netbook isn’t entirely exciting. It does have a few new features for Acer, however. The new netbook is more »

Next year looks to be a good year for netbooks in terms of hardware and software. Intel’s newest version of the Atom, “Pine Trail,” will see the light of day sometime later this month or next, giving the small laptops more processing power. Intel is also preparing an app store in addition to its Moblin more »

For the past year the Intel Atom processor has been the default netbook processor. It’s small, efficient, and fast enough to run the small machines. The next version of the Atom, code named “Pine Trail” is due out by early 2010 at the latest. It will feature graphics on the CPU and as a result more »

A while ago, Google introduced a way to search blogs. The search excludes lots of other sites so you can easily find information published on blogs (whether they are on Google’s Blogger or not).

Unfortunately the details are still pretty light on this one, however according to Bloomberg, Anand Chandrasekher of Intel will be announcing that Nokia is going to begin using Intel chips.

The Intel Atom, the little netbook processor that could just celebrated its one year birthday. As is standard in the tech industry, its one year birthday means the chip is going to be overshadowed by its newer, fancier brethren. The current chip won’t be discontinued or anything, but there’s a good chance that the next more »

In somewhat of a non-announcement, Asus has introduced the latest in the ever-growing and ever-confusing Eee PC lineup by simply adding it to their website. This time, the model is the Eee PC 1002H and it is powered by the same 1.66GHz Intel Atom N280 processor that is in the recently announced 1000HE. Of course, more »

Dell has officially made their latest Inspiron Mini available in the US. Customers can now visit Dell and purchase the Inspiron Mini 12, but sadly the configurations seem a little limited and may not be ideal for everyone.

Dell is offering the Inspiron Mini 12 in three configurations, which begin at $549 and go up as high as $649. The main drawbacks are that (at least for now) the maximum amount of RAM that you can add is 1GB, and the only option for an operating system is Vista Home Basic. Personally, I would like to have seen some more RAM as 2GB is becoming more and more of a standard nowadays, but more important is that the only OS available is Vista Home Basic and that is sure to turn some sales away from all those Vista haters.

The latest Mobile Internet Device (MID) coming from UMID, at first glance looks like any other netbook on the market, except this one is much smaller and much more equipped than many.

As for features, the MID will have a 4.8-inch touchscreen display with a 1024 x 600 resolution, either a 1.1GHz or 1.3GHz Intel Atom processor, a max of 1GB RAM, up to 32GB of SSD storage, a 1.3-megapixel webcam and a microSD card slot.

Sadly, it has just one USB 2.0 port. Other features include the standard Wi-Fi and Bluetooth as well as WiMax, WiBro, HSDPA and both DMB-T and DVB-T digital TV tuners. Still unstated was a release date, or any pricing information.

Plenty of pics after the break.
