Personal DVD Player Bags Are PERFECT for Netbooks

The computer bag industry hasn’t quite caught up to the netbook fad, so if you’re looking for a bag for your new little netbook, you might think that you’re out of luck until they catch up, but I have an option for you. Most personal DVD player cases out on the market are about the size of your typical netbook, so you can buy them and use them for your new laptop bag. I found this Denali Sport Deluxe PDVD Bag at Target for twenty bucks. It fits my new Acer Aspire One PERFECTLY!

Case Logic In-Car DVD Player Case at Amazon.comThe thing that I love about this case is that it comes with a variety of straps and loops on the bag to hang it from the backseat of a car, but I can use them to make a convenient backpack out of this tiny bag. The Case Logic In-Car DVD Player Case has the exact same setup (without coming in fashionable colors like red). Since it’s so much easier to carry things on my back than just on my shoulder, I LOVE a backpack design. The fact that I have that option with the Denali bag (and the Case Logic) blisses me out.


Targus Sport Portable DVD Player Case at Amazon.comI used to use a Targus Sport Portable DVD Player Case for my old Acer mini computer. It worked very well for me and I included it with the computer when we gave it to Mike’s dad. I was wishing for it back when I bought the Aspire One, but now that I’ve found this Denali case, I don’t miss it so much anymore.

Eventually, laptop bag manufacturers will catch up to the netbook fad, but until then, you can find a good case for your netbook right next to obsolete personal DVD players in your favorite department store for about twenty bucks.

Built-in TV tuner heading for netbooks and laptops

Telegent Systems announces single chip system

By Amy-Mae Elliott pocket-link.co.uk

Your next netbook could come complete with a built-in TV tuner thanks to Telegent Systems. The company has announced the launch of the first free-to-air, single-chip TV receiver for PCs, laptops, MIDs and netbooks. The hybrid chip receives both digital and analogue TV, a solution that Telegent says "reduces the complexity and cost of adding live TV to portable devices". The TLG2300 is a single-chip CMOS hybrid TV receiver that claims low power usage that supports DVB-T, PAL/SECAM/NTSC TV and FM radio.

The TLG2300 is currently in sampling with customers and Telegent says it "has received a great deal of interest from Laptop manufacturers keen to reposition the laptop as a media centre".

New Asus netbooks feature Windows 7

At a press conference at CES 2009 Tuesday evening, Asus introduced the Eee 131, its first netbook with a built-in 512 GB hard drive. Asus has been working closely with Microsoft, so that the new Eee will run Windows 7.

Both of Asus' new convertible netbooks will use Intel's Atom processors, though different versions. The 10-inch Eee will use Intel Z270 processor, which is what most netbooks use today. But the 8.9-inch model will use the Atom Z520, which provides 20% greater energy conservation.

Asus also demonstrated a convertible tablet -- again, conceptually, with no products announced. Shih said, "There will be a lot of interesting things happening" with user interfaces, but did not go into more detail.
Yesterday was Asus' 19th anniversary, and for the duration of its existence, the CEO said, his company has always been focused on innovation.
During a Q&A session, Shih was asked whether an Eee PC would eventually run Google's Android operating system. "It seems like many companies are considering Android," Shih responded. As for placing it on the Eee, he said, "I'm not sure about that yet."

Later, the CEO admitted that Asus needs to do more work on multi-touch before coming out with a notebook that features it. Asus did demo multi-touch capabilities, at least conceptually, as well as a "dual-mode PC." This latter device would have two hard drives, so you could connect to the Internet using the smaller HDD if you were running applications on the larger one, or you could run a movie from the smaller drive. No products were announced for either concept, however.

The Eee 131, Shih said, will ship within the next three to five months.
Next, Shih showed off a curious controller called the Eee Top, which he described as "a device for every room in the house." It appears designed to connect to home networks, and operate using an "easy navigation system" using gestures rather than touchpad or keyboard.
It is a "highly reactive" keyboard, Shih said, with a five-inch touchscreen display built-in. You can use this keyboard or a touchpad in any room in the house.
"You've never seen Windows run this fast," said Dave Fester, Microsoft's marketing manager for OEM products, speaking at this afternoon's conference.

Later, Asus previewed its Eee PC T91 touchscreen notebook, which features a built-in TV tuner and a built-in GPS. Asus Chairman and CEO Johnny Shih described this Eee as a "next generation" netbook, with a "superset" of features for mobile computing.
Shih also showed the Eee Keyboard, a wireless keyboard for "sharing, playing, and communicating."
