Dell Announces Latitude 13 And Updated Dell Precision M6500
If you just discovered Dell today, you would hardly know that it was infamous for selling those "plain beige boxes" and "thick, clunky notebooks" just a few years ago. These days, high fashion and good styling is integrated throughout the company's lineup, and the Latitude 13 is proof of that.The Latitude range has traditionally been for corporate environments, a place where style has generally not mattered. Dell is shaking things up and proving that style does indeed matter in the cubical, as this machine has

JooJoo Tablet Not Shaken By Legal Threats, Should Ship This Month
The Apple iPad may have been the first major tablet announced with a near-term ship date in 2010, but good luck convincing the guys and girls that created the JooJoo that Steve Jobs had the idea first. Just a few months ago, Fusion Garage came forward with a tablet PC that was groundbreaking in terms of design and promised power. It was previously considered the CrunchPad, but when push came to shove, Fusion Garage was the only interested party still involved in the whole thing and willing to push forward with

ATI Radeon HD 5450: DX11 On The Cheap
Over the course of the past four months or so, AMD has been on a tear, releasing a slew of new DirectX 11-class GPUs at price points ranging from approximately $600 all the way on down to about $100. All the while, AMD was also up front about the release schedule for many upcoming, future products. If you remember back to some of our previous Radeon HD 5000 series coverage, we showed you a picture of this slide, that outlined AMD's plans to launch the GPUs codenamed Redwood and Cedar sometime in Q1 2010.

ATI Radeon HD 5450: DX11 On The Cheap

All the while, AMD was also up front about the release schedule for many upcoming, future products. If you remember back to some of our previous Radeon HD 5000 series coverage, we showed you a picture of this slide, that outlined AMD's plans to launch the GPUs codenamed Redwood and Cedar sometime in Q1 2010. Redwood became the Radeon HD 5670 and today we can finally spill the beans on the first iteration of Cedar.

Now, 135 days after the arrival of the Radeon HD 5870, AMD is at the ready with the antithesis of that card, the Radeon HD 5450. Whereas the Radeon HD 5870 is AMD's fastest and most powerful single GPU, the Radeon HD 5450 is the low-power, entry-level variant of the Radeon HD 5000 series GPU architecture. As you'd probably expect, the Radeon HD 5450 supports DX11 (of course), along with ATI Eyefinity technology, AVIVO, PowerPlay and all of the other features inherent to the HD 5000 series...

What happend to FiOS?

Anyone else see this ad here on HH? Why would they offer DirecTV in their Triple Play package?

OS 4.0?

Could this be real? is Apple releasing a new os? a numerous websites are reporting this event, the question we should ask ourselves is when?

Nothing legit from Apple everyone that are talking are doing it in form of anonymous, I think Apple are a subdivision of the government ? Joke aside this is coming once i get "Official" word i would put the details...

Ricoh Gives CX3 Point And Shoot A Touch Of Low Light Magic

Ricoh generally only drops by to introduce a few new camera bodies eachyear, so whenever they do, we can't help but stop and pay attention.The newest point and shoot from the company is not only a real looker,but one that could be a promising performer. The CX3 is the latest unitin the growing CX lineup, and while it's small in stature, it has a fewfeatures that are currently unheard of in a camera this small.

Designed to fit into just about any pocket yet provide pro-levelcharacteristics, the CX3 has a new 10MP back-illuminated CMOS sensorthat should deliver a new level of detail to low-light photography.Generally, low-light kills point and shoot cameras. They simply can'thandle the stresses of not having enough natural light, but this newtechnology could help to change all of that. The solution is borrowedfrom the more advanced GR Digital III, and while specifics are notgiven, we are led to believe that this magic can help the camera shootin far darker settings that the prior CX cameras.

There's also a 1280x720 movie mode, a "scene auto mode" whichidentifies the image subject and automatically selects the mostappropriate scene mode and a pretty wild sounding "dynamic range doubleshot mode," which allowed the camera to take two images with differentexposures almost simultaneously, then combines the best exposed partsof each image into a final recorded version. Let's see your currentpocket camera do that! The highly capable cam is expected to ship DownUnder for AU$499 later this month, but there's no word on when it willbe made available elsewhere on the planet (nor for how much).

Intel Details Upcoming Mobile and Six-Core Processors

With the International Solid-State Circuits Conference less than a week away, Intel has released additional details on its hexa-core desktop,آ next generation mobile and dual-core Westmere processors. Much of the dual-core data was revealed last month when the CPU manufacturer launched Clarkdale (our review is here if you want additional information on the CPU and its integrated graphics core). When Intel set its internal goals for what its calling Westmere 6C, the company aimed to boost both core and cache count by 50 percent without increasing the processor's thermal envelope. Towards this end, the new Westmere chips will incorporate additional technologies to reduce the CPU's power consumption at idle.

Westmere 6C (codename Gulftown) is a native six-core chip as shown above. Intel has crammed 1.17 billion transistors into a die that's approximately 240mm sq. The new chip carries 12MB up L3 (up from Nehalem's 8MB) and a TDP of 130W at 3.33GHz. In addition to the addition of hardware AES encryption instruction decode support, Intel has made a number of improvements to Gulftown's power consumption. Up until now, Intel's efforts to reduce CPU power consumption focused on what it calls the "Core"; the "Uncore" hardware couldn't be powered down or controlled to the same degree. Starting with Westmere, both sections of the CPU can be fine-tuned to minimize power consumption without adversely affecting processor performance. As part of its bid to increase CPU complexity and performance without driving up system-level power consumption, Westmere will also support low-voltage DDR3, which uses an operating voltage of 1.35v (down from 1.5v standard). According to Intel, using the lower voltage memory reduces memory power consumption by about 20 percent overall.

Mobile

The big mobile-specific tech that Intel has debuted with Arrandale (32nm Westmere 2C) is a Turbo Boost for graphics mode. While Intel's standard Turbo mode is available as well, the chip can also cut CPU frequency and ramp the IGP higher to improve graphics performance. Intel refers to this as "HD Graphics with dynamic frequency." How much of a boost this mode can deliver depends on which processor you've got. Intel's spec sheets for the Core i3 processor list a 500MHz standard frequency with a 667MHz maximum dynamic frequency while the Core i5 mobile parts top out at 766MHz. That's 1.33x and 1.53x above stock, respectively.

There are two ways to take Intel's Dynamic Frequency technology. On the one hand, it's true that Intel's integrated GPUs have historically been terrible choices for gaming; what the parts have lacked in hardware functionality, they've made up for in terrible driver support. Arrandale's integrated IGP is more advanced than any of its desktop predecessors, but the "new" features Intel baked into the on-die GPU, such as hierarchical Z support, are technologies ATI and NVIDIA launched nearly nine years ago. Trailing your competition is one thing, trailing your competition by a decade is something else entirely.

On the other hand, however, Intel's new IGP is indisputably the fastest, most gaming-friendly part the company has ever built. A 33 percent (or 53 percent) higher clockspeed isn't going to turn Arrandale's IGP into a discrete part from ATI or NVIDIA, but it should provide noticable performance improvements provided that the processor speed tradeoff doesn't obscure them. The ability to trade CPU cycles for GPU horsepower gives even a modest system additional flexibility; it's easy to see how this sort of capability could end up integrated into Intel's Atom product line in the not-too-distant future.

And Now For Something Completely Different

In addition to its x86 CPU briefings, Intel will present a number of paper's at the ISSCC. Chief among these are the company's ongoing research into so-called "digital intelligence," high-speed point-to-point interconnects, and reconfigurable computing. Intel will also give more details on a 48-core single-chip processor it unveiled last December. One of the features the company will discuss is the chip's use of so-called circuit switching rather than packet switching when passing messages. By mapping out the route from core to core before actually sending a message, Intel claims it can vastly accelerate the speed at which information is passed within the chip structure.

iPhone Sales Up, But Market Share Down: Report

Apple is very proud of its achievements, and in Q4 of 2009, the iPhone achieved something it hadn't done since Q4 of 2008. The device lost market share.

The iPhone's share of the worldwide app phone (nee smartphone) sales market slipped to 16.6 percent, down from 18.1 percent in Q3 of 2009. It's not that the device wasn't selling a lot; according to the Wall Street Journal, its 8.7 million in sales was 18 percent higher than Q3.

However, overall the app phone market grew 26 percent in the same quarter, as multiple Android devices were introduced and Nokia, seeing a strong comeback, boosted its sales by 4.6 million alone.

Still the rise in iPhone sales can't be ignored, and as another iPhone refresh nears (mid-year, most likely), you can expect the excitement among iPhone fans to reach a fever pitch.

Woz Dishes On Prius Problems

The Prius is not listed among the models that Toyota recently recalled (and temporarily stopped selling) for sticking accelerator pedals, but according to Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, it has its own acceleration problem. At the same time, on Wednesday, reports of Prius brake problems on that same model year emerged.

Steve Wozniak was speaking at the Discovery Forum 2010 when went off on a sidebar and began discussing his Prius' problems. Wozniak is a big fan of Toyota's hybrid, and has several. It's even appeared on camera when he was guesting on Kathy Griffin's "My Life on the D-List" as her faux boyfriend.

"I don't get upset and teed off at things in life, except computers that don't work right. Toyota has this accelerator problem we've all heard about. Well, I have many models of Prius that got recalled, but I have a new model that didn't get recalled. This new model has an accelerator that goes wild, but only under certain conditions of cruise control. And I can repeat it over and over and over again, safely.

"This is software. It's not a bad accelerator pedal. It's very scary, but luckily for me, I can hit the brakes."

Older models of the Prius have been recalled for accelerator issues, but in that case it was because driver's side car mats could interfere with the pedal. I kid you not, and my 2006 and 2008 models have been recalled, as well.

Meanwhile, Wozniak should be glad his brakes work. On Wednesday, a Toyota brake problem was announced, and according to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA), it has received about 100 complaints involving the brakes of the Prius new model. Two involved crashes resulting in injuries. At the same time, Japan's transport ministry said Wednesday it has also received 14 complaints since July last year about Prius brake problems with Toyota's 2010 model.

This is just the latest blow to Toyota's reputation over quality. It's widely expected that Toyota, which managed to wrest the global market share crown from General Motors earlier, will see severe consumer backlash over this. Both Ford and GM are offering incentives for customers who switch from Toyota models.

Some analysts have speculated that in its race to #1, Toyota eschewed quality somewhat.

JooJoo Tablet Not Shaken By Legal Threats, Should Ship This Month

The Apple iPad may have been the first major tablet announced with anear-term ship date in 2010, but good luck convincing the guys andgirls that created the JooJoo that Steve Jobs had the idea first. Justa few months ago, Fusion Garage came forward with a tablet PC that wasgroundbreaking in terms of design and promised power. It was previouslyconsidered the CrunchPad, but when push came to shove, Fusion Garagewas the only interested party still involved in the whole thing andwilling to push forward with production.

Chandrasekar Rathakrishnan is the most visible figure now involved inthe process, and despite a federal lawsuit filed by Michael Arrington(who was previously involved and responsible for the CrunchPad label),it seems that the JooJoo is still moving closer towards massproduction. Many simply forgot about the device after the lawsuit wassaid to have been holding things up, and of course, with the buzzsurrounding the iPad at deafening levels, it was hard to focus onanything else.

Now, CSL Group is said to be subsidizing production costs in exchangefor a certain portion of the revenue from sales. With this company'shelp, Fusion Garage expects the first wave of pre-order shipments tohappen by the end of this month. If you'll recall, this product wasalso priced at $499, though it's expected to be far more capable thanthe iPad due the iPhone OS being so limited in scope. It should beinteresting to see how all of this pans out; the JooJoo and the iPadare priced the same, but Apple has the edge in marketing. In fact, manyoutside of hardcore tech world wouldn't recognize the JooJoo by its ownname. Will a small startup facing legal issues be able to make a dentin the reforming tablet landscape? We should find out as the firstunits begin to ship in just a few weeks.
