Sunday I made a trip to my local Best Buy and bought myself a new netbook to replace my EeePC 900. I got the Gateway LT2005u for $229, and so far I am quite pleased with my upgrade.  More details will follow.

Now this looks kick-butt!  For those of us who have and love using our HTPC’s, the main problem is always having to have a mouse and keyboard handy for browsing or searching.  USB.Brando now has a very cool looking solution to the problem, a PDA sized device with a track pad and keyboard built in.  Head over to dvice.com and check out the video of it in action.

Liliputing has an interesting article up talking about 5 recent games that run decent on typical netbooks.  Check it out HERE, and for more netbook gaming news check out gear diary’s The Netbook Gamer series HERE.  For myself, I love to play Unreal Tournament and Jedi Knight 2 on mine.

The Atom powered, convertible 4.8” screened Kohjinsha PA series is shown off at pocketables.  Looks very interesting, but I don’t know if I could get used to that small of a screen.

Gearlog had the chance to spend some hands on time with the enTourage eDGe, the android powered dual screen e-reader/tablet, recently and has posted about it, along with a bunch of pictures.  Check it out at Gearlog.

Apple’s custom point-of-sales iPod Touches are wrapped in a large plastic case, which includes a barcode scanner up top and a card reader slot in the side, as well as an extra battery. There is obviously a custom iPhone app, and a stylus for credit card signatures.  Check out more pics at Gizmodo.

Lavasoft has released a new version of Ad-Aware, called Game Edition.  The main feature is the product’s "Do not disturb" mode which is invoked automatically anytime you’re running a full-screen program; you can also turn it on manually. "Do not disturb" mode postpones scheduled scans and updates. If the real-time malware protection detects active malware, it silently takes care of the problem even if the user had chosen the let-me-handle-it Advanced mode. On exiting full-screen mode, the user gets a summary of any actions taken.

Gizmodo had more pictures of the “secret” Microsoft Courier’s interface, expaining what gestures are used for what function.  I really, really hope MS brings this to market.  Check out the pics HERE.
