I guess touchscreen will eliminate the other touch device in the future as most tech companies are coming up with their touchscreen technologies. Like HP will be introducing touchscreen input ala iPhone into its mobile computers.

Im a fan of IBM Thinkpad. My x41 that I currently use as GPS and surfing the web is a way away better than out-of-the-box GPS system out there (IMO). Even though IBM sold their Thinkpad brand to Lenovo, I believe the Thinkpad reliability and legacy is still part of Lenovo’s new branded laptop.

News coming out that Lenovo will introduce an Ultraportable X200 tablet. The spec is posted at Hong Kong Baptist University website although the photo doesn’t look like it’s a tablet but it could be a mistake but what makes it interesting is that it weights 4.17lbs.. that’s heavy for an Ultraportable but again this might included a 8-cell battery and docking station. Under the hood, it comes with 1.86GHz SL9400 Core 2 Duo and a 7-hour battery life for $1,339 which again is way cheaper than the regular X series. I’ll just wait and see for now.

And I think it’s not just me because people are lining up just to grab this gadget in time for holidays, maybe for their personal use or reselling it on Ebay. According to the company press release the ASUS Eee PC is America’s Most Wanted Christmas Gift.

In the two weeks since it’s launch in the US, the Eee PC has already sold ten thousand sets,” said Sunny Han, Director of ASUS Global Brand Center – confirming the Eee PC’s massive US sales figures. By the end of this year, the projected sales goal of 350 thousand will be met; and next year that figure is projected at 3 to 5 million.

350K units Wow! that’s a lot of eee’s
