Nokia Booklet 3G to run $799?

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/nokia-booklet-3g-to-run-799/

Barely more than 24 hours after the Nokia stunner of the century -- the company's announcement of the Booklet 3G "mini laptop" -- we're starting to get some more details about the 10.1-incher. Netbook News is reporting an unnamed source that claims the netbook will run $799 -- certainly not a netbook price. The Booklet will boast a 1.6GHz Intel Atom Z530, and will reportedly boast a 120GB HDD, plus integrated 3G, a swappable SIM card, A-GPS, Bluetooth and WiFi. There is no official word on pricing or release date, but we're expecting to hear tell of all that at Nokia World (which is on September 2nd). There are a few previously unseen shots after the break -- and hit the read link for even more.

Corsair keeps on rolling with Extreme Series X256 SSD

What's a company like Corsair to do to follow up its Extreme Series X32, X64 and X128 SSDs? A new Extreme Series X256 model for starters. Joining the company's equally spacious P256 and S256 SSD drives, this one offers some of the fastest read speeds yet with promised rates up to 240MB/s, along with write speeds up 170MB/s, 64MB of cache memory (or half that of the P256), and the one-two punch of Indilinx's Barefoot controller and Samsung's MLC NAND flash memory at the heart of the drive. Still no official word from Corsair on a price, but it looks to already be selling for just under $700.

Motorola holding Android event on September 10, awesome new handsets in store?

Could this be it? Motorola's heading out to San Francisco to host an Android-centric event early next month. We're not being told what's on the docket just yet, but if we had to guess, it's probably some combination of the Morrison and Sholes that have leaked over the past few weeks. The invitation says "Save The Date," but you know what we're thinking: this is really "Save The Company." Make or break, Moto. Let's do this.

Officially.

Update: Microsoft tells CNET, "We are looking into the details of this situation. We apologize and are in the process of pulling down the [Polish] image."

[Thanks, David]

Duo brings pen-based computing to almost any display

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/duo-brings-pen-based-computing-to-standard-displays/

An intermediate step between Livescribe and a touchscreen, the Duo by KCI Communications lets you use a stylus on your standard desktop or laptop display. It works (on devices up to 17-inches) by using a base station to track the XY coordinates of the pen as it makes its way around the screen. If that weren't enough, the pen also features functionality similar to Livescribe -- you can keep notes on traditional paper and transfer them to your PC later. Currently, this bad boy is only available for WIndows machines, but Mac drivers are in the works. Now, we haven't had the opportunity to play with one of these things, but maybe you'll want to take the plunge? If so, hit the read link -- shipping now for $119.95. But not before you check out the commercial after the break -- it's a classic.
