Dell Inspiron Duo Convertible Laptop

The Dell Duo is a unique device.  Looking like a device designed by Ben Heck, it is a 10-inch netbook that has a swivel touch screen.  With a simple twist it converts from a netbook into a tablet.  The Duo runs on the Atom N550 and costs $549, it runs Windows 7 Home Premium as well so you can get the full computing experience.  It is up for pre-order now, and it ships in December.  There is also a JBL speaker dock available for for $49.

Top 3 Ultra Portable Laptop Previews

Ok. So I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that I'm getting one of the new Macbook Air's. But it got me thinking, there are definitely some other choices when it comes to the ultra portable laptop market. And some of them give Apple a run for their money, especially when it comes to price. So I've basically narrowed it down to 3 possible choices; the Macbook Air, the Lenovo IdeaPAd U260, and the Asus UL30Vt. Let the battle Royale commence.

New Yorker puts usb drives into walls, creates offline file sharing network

Aram Bartholl has installed 5 usb drives into walls in New York. He did so, so that people could anonymously share files.  It's like an offline New York only, wait your turn Limewire.  If you want to check out any of the 5 drives head to 87 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY (Makerbot), Empire Fulton Ferry Park, Brooklyn, NY (Dumbo), 235 Bowery, NY (New Museum), Union Square, NY (Subway Station 14th St) and West 21st Street, NY (Eyebeam).  This is a really cool idea, if just not for fun, I wonder what kinda of files will be uploaded.  Next time I am in New York i will check out at least one of them for you guys.  Follow the link and check out Aram's blog for more info, or check out his flickr page for a picture log of the process.  datenform.de, flickr page
