Samsung: no future, new 10-inch netbooks

Samsung defines its Netbooks on the size and all with more than a 10-inch screen, is not a NetBook according to the Koreans. In an E-Mail to the operator of Blogeee, the French branch of Samsung has communicated that in future no 10-inch Netbooks more are being developed.

The focus is placed, however, on 11- and 12-inch devices. That would then "Subnotebooks" or "Ultrabooks", where the latter is significantly more expensive.

The problem with 10-inch Netbooks is obviously that they are overtaken by Tablet PCs. In other words, before someone on the 10-inch NetBook, he does prefer to the 10-inch Tablet PC. The costs are often far in, but this is probably not up for debate. The year 2012 is coming and Samsung will soon start to implement his plans.

But before then, but still the one or the other NetBook is published. Furthermore you will learn more.

Samsung NC110/N102S: netbook-update and a new netbook with Atom N2100 processor

Once we know the plans of Samsung for the coming year, not really a new netbook would have been allowed to come to light. But Samsung is not switched from one day to the light from the 10-inch netbooks. Perhaps the last 10-inch Samsung is N102S.

The PDF manual on the Samsung N102S was discovered and it can close on a new netbook that will work with the Intel Atom N2100 processor. Of this processor, we have heard so far nothing.

We know from the new Cedar Trail series only the Intel Atom N2600 (1.6 Ghz) and the Intel Atom N2800 (1.8 Ghz). It is likely that the Intel Atom N2100 will be equipped with about 1.3 Ghz. Exact details are not yet available. The remaining dates are as always in style. There would be a 10-inch screen with 1024 x 600 pixels in resolution, a 1-GB RAM and a 320-GB hard disk. It is pre-installed Windows 7 Starter. USB ports and a card reader are naturally present.

From Samsung N102S we now consider briefly the known Samsung NC110 speak. At Amazon, the netbook is available for around 350 . Samsung NC110 will buy the upgrade, on the Intel Atom N2600 processor. With a vision of the new netbooks is not expected before 2012. Known issues with chip-maker Intel to provide a delay.

Toshiba AT200: Release probably in time for Christmas

Many have an appearance on the Toshiba AT200 believed no more in this year. But it looks as if the Toshiba AT200 lying under the Christmas tree. The costs of at least 479 are not a bargain, where you can also invest 599.

Several German retailers have already listed the Toshiba AT200 and specify different dates of publication. Maybe Redcoon will deliver one of the first.

This will provide the Tablet PC to order in five days, so in early December. When Conrad is selling the Toshiba AT200 and is also on 06 To December (St. Nicholas) delivered. For example, at Amazon or the Cyberport Tablet PC is not yet listed. The phenomenon is not yet set in stone, but it is already very close.

The Toshiba Thrive AT200 is a 10-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels. Power generated by the 1.2-GHz TI OMAP processor (dual core), which is roughly proportional to the NVIDIA Tegra 2 platform comparable. On the back of a 5-megapixel camera is integrated. The front also waiting on a 2-megapixel camera. Interfaces are available in the form of micro-USB and HDMI port, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

As I said, all the new netbooks are using a CPU of the Cedar Trail series. Due to problems in producing the chip manufacturer Intel has a vision in 2012 to be expected. Too bad, because that the manufacturer has the Christmas season and we'll miss a potentially smart netbooks.
Asus Eee PC 1011CX / 1015CX Eee PC
These two new netbooks based on the previous Asus Eee PC and Eee PC 1011PX 1015PX. The specifications and design are also well taken for the most part. In terms of design, the bottom has changed. The flap about which the memory can be changed, is missing. Technically, we have an Intel Atom N2600 processor on board. In addition, a 10-inch screen, 1 GB of RAM (DDR3) and a 320 GB hard drive. Windows 7 Starter is installed as the operating system. HDMI and USB 3.0 are small highlights. The imaginary retail price is around 300 €.
Asus Eee PC X101CH
The Eee PC is based on the Eee PC X101CH X101H. Latter, there are no "H" and that is the variant known Meego. It is likely that the design adopted and most of the hardware. Only the processor must be soft and will make the Intel Atom N2600 place. Otherwise, again are a 10-inch screen, 1 GB of RAM, a 320-GB hard drive and Windows 7 Starter available.
Asus Eee PC 1225C
Where exactly is the Eee PC 1225C belongs, is not entirely clear. In the area of ​​design is to be invoked on the Eee PC 1025C (e). Who would have thought it technically is back on board the well-known. So the Intel Atom N2600, a 320-GB hard drive, 2 GB RAM and Windows 7 Home Premium. The 1225C will be equipped with a 11.6-inch screen.

 The Asus Eee PC X101 will cost only 169 and relies on the operating system Intel Meego.

One can be seen already in the beginning. If the users of the Asus Eee PC X101 in hand, is the thin shell and thus the ease on the netbook. The unit is just 17.6 millimeters thick. What also pleases, is the faint 10-inch display. The netbook has lived through a 1-GHz Atom processor, which is supported by sufficient 1-gigabyte memory. Of course it sounds a little after "power". But the built-in SSD will provide for rapid program start, unfortunately it is only eight gigabytes in size. An additional external hard drive is therefore mandatory.
Facebook and Twitter

According to the manufacturer, the Book was designed to connect users to their favorite sites and quickly build social networks. How? Continuous entertainment and social networking applications like Facebook or Twitter apps plus a dedicated instant messaging client claims to have pre-installed. The operating system is not Asus to Microsoft, is installed MeeGo. For video chats, a 0.3-megapixel webcam is integrated. You should at least be sufficient for simple phone calls. But then the quality is too bad, you simply buy this one better.
Low battery and only 169

For peripherals is also provided. Two USB ports (2.0) are attached to the side. Since the OS is one of the most popular operating system is not, unfortunately, not known, such as printers or similar devices are detected by the system. Through the network, however, should be addressed without problems all units. As a little extra to the buyer receives two gigabytes of online storage. Negative agrees the specified battery life - just four hours to keep it. Other notebooks with SSD hold six to eight hours. Nevertheless, the unit's 169's worth. Who is traveling frequently mobile should not think twice and order from Amazon.

Camera phone uses as a display and remote control

The Israeli product designer or Levithe has let MMI come up: a small camera that is operated remotely via an app as a display using the Smartphone.
            MMI Camera
MMI is a camera without a display and controls. That's all outsourced, because MMi is operated via an app. The motive appears to cut iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, as well as the controls. This separation of the recording and control unit makes it extremely versatile MMI.
A clip on the back serves as a stand, also MMi can also be mounted on a tripod. In addition, the clip with a suction cup or magnet can be upgraded so that the little camera pretty much everywhere we find support. The following clip shows the possibilities.

Looks already very practically, the whole thing. All possible settings to allow control of the phone, not only zoom, focus and white balance or similar, even the image area can be changed by a tilting of the lens.


However, it is not clear whether it is currently still a concept, or whether MMI has already reached the production stage. The idea is certainly very well done, and with the right price will sell this camera provides.
Finally, it is indeed more or less a photo accessories for the iPhone, and as we have seen in recent days is because just about everything.
