Missing Windows Movie Maker on Windows 7?

No worry. Grab it from MS..

Continue reading..

I have been testing Windows 7 on mobile computers and I was missing video editing tools as I need to edit them sometimes on the move..

Windows 7 doesn't come with Movie Maker like XP and Vista, but I tested version 2.6 on it and noticed that it works fine. Yep, it's not as good as the version on Vista but better than nothing ( Movie Maker Live is not better than nothing )

There has been some speculation about Intel restricting Atom cpu to be used only on netbooks with 10.2 inch screes or less...

.. well as you can see from these pictures, 13.3 inch "netbooks" allready exist. MDT is also making 12 inch ones. I have seen some even with 14.1 inch screens...

Same goes vith VIA. There are plenty of those with bigger screens.

And speaking of plenty, just check how many different netbooks GlobalSources is listing..

So yes, there is and will be netbooks/laptops with Atom and big screens.

Google Android running on Eee PC

Guys at VentureBeat are testing Android on Asus Eee PC 1000. They got all base stuff like graphics and wifi working in few hours, so it sounds like doable job...

Is there point running Android on 10 inch screen x86 hardware is another thing..
I think Android is better on a pocketable or smaller ARM based devices. I would prefer full desktop OS on bigger devices...

It's still good to have options.. Let's see where this is going..

OQO model 2+ with 1.86Ghz Intel Atom to be at CES 2009

Touch screen too! Yeah!

Click here to see more


" OQO, Inc. announces the new model 2+ with the Intel® Atom™ processor, the world’s first PC OLED display, and worldwide 3G capability. Based on the 1.86GHz Intel Atom processor and 2GB RAM, the OQO model 2+ offers performance up to twice as fast as its predecessor and includes an embedded touchscreen for easier input. "

Great news! I was hoping for a smaller housing but it looks like it's the same design with better hw.

Touchscreen is much better than the old active digitizer and OLED should look great.

Now let's just wait for the final details and pricing..

Thanks GottaBeMobile!

Continue reading..

Blogeee is reporting that Samsung is making a new netbook and releasing it in April.

I think they did a great job with their NC10, but I would like to see something smaller, lighter and more "hightech design"..

.. maybe a super thin 8.9 incher with zero bezel?


Thanks Blogeee [ translated ]
