TechCrunch blog post by Michael Arrington is generating a lot of discussion response from gadget lovers on the internet. The idea is…

The machine is as thin as possible, runs low end hardware and has a single button for powering it on and off, headphone jacks, a built in camera for video, low end speakers, and a microphone. It will have Wifi, maybe one USB port, a built in battery, half a Gigabyte of RAM, a 4-Gigabyte solid state hard drive. Data input is primarily through an iPhone-like touch screen keyboard. It runs on linux and Firefox. It would be great to have it be built entirely on open source hardware, but including Skype for VOIP and video calls may be a nice touch, too.

What do you think? Im thinking of Kindle right now.

I got this posted at crunchgear the survey conducted online by the solutions research group (pdf) on who would be willing to hit the (possible long) line for June 29 iPhone market intro.
I myself is 90% within the result stats but Im still trying to figure out how to justify the $499 and the monthly service fee.

At last, after so many rumors and speculations about the exact US release date of the new iPhone,  Apple has released three new iPhone television commercials which end with “Coming June 29” which I believe is “the iPhone date” to be released.  The three TV ads has a captioned  “Never Been an iPod” “How to” and “Calamari” which features a couple of iPhone’s capabilities such as playing music, view movie, using Multi-Touch screen and screen layout shifting when a holder turn the device vertical and horizontal.

OK, this gadget is no mobile.. but it is interesting piece of concept. Basically, Microsoft is looking at the future of interactive surfaces, a table for example. This gadget is computer (I bet it is running Vista) and has 30-inch flat panel monitor which also serves as touchscreen input device where you can do everything in the touch of your hand. The initial demo shows a table in a bar (restaurants or hotels) or places where there’s a need for menus or navigate between items or pages.

Again, nice concept lots of possible use but don’t expect to see this gadget in your local bar or restaurant soon. more @ (gizmodo}

Oh well, not quite yet ifans! The Chinese manufacturers must have been super busy than those Apple workers that they’re able to launch an iPhone look-a-like (aka rip off) ahead of Apple. This gadget is almost identical to iPhone that they have even copied the iPhone’s wallpaper. Anyway, I can’t read Chinese character so I can only describe the look, but i you do read Chinese you can get more info. here and maybe when you get a change come back and add a few comments.

Touchscreen mobile phone gadgets are soon the “in” to come as handset manufacturers are looking for ways to maximize the phone real estate.  Well, iPhone will soon be hitting the US electronic store shelves this coming June but it seems like LG is already in the market (probably will be available first in S.Korea consumers) when they come up with a touchscreen control pads with added DMB reception capabilities and fasionista touch courtesy of Prada brands.

Here’s an interesting YouTube video showing iPhone cool features.
