Acer AspireRevo Upgraded: Windows 7, Ion Graphics, Dual-Core Atom CPU [Nettops]

Source: http://feeds.gawker.com/~r/gizmodo/full/~3/s121CyAld6E/acer-aspirerevo-upgraded-windows-7-ion-graphics-dual+core-atom-cpu

Acer's funky book-sized AspireRevo nettop just got a little better…and a touch pricier. This R3610-U9012 model has Windows 7, a dual-core Atom 330 processor, double the RAM (2GB), and full Ion graphics. It also keeps support for 1080p HDMI output.

Other specs remain identical to the Windows XP, 1GB RAM, Atom 230 model that costs about $200 bucks. Each has 802.11n Wi-Fi, and has a VESA attachment for mounting on the back of your flat panel monitor or TV.

The $330 AspireRevo (R3610-U9012) is new, but should already been up for grabs over at: [Acer]

• Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
• Intel Atom 330 Processor (1.6GHz)
• Integrated NVIDIA® ION Graphics Solution
• 2GB DDR2 SDRAM Memory
• 160GB SATA Hard Drive

FPS hopelessly leaps into pocket projector game with Pearl M3

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/fps-hopelessly-leaps-into-pocket-projector-game-with-pearl-m3/


The world needs another VGA pico projector about like it needs another ton of plastic goop swirling in the Pacific, but thanks to FPS, that's exactly what we're getting. (The former, just so we're clear.) The LCoS-based beamer puts out an image between 5- and 66-inches and packs a native resolution of 640 x 360; there's a composite input, stereo output, USB socket and a microSD expansion slot. You'll also find a one-watt internal speaker and a 2,500mAh battery for projecting on the go, while most every file format you can think of is supported. If, for whatever reason, you've found yourself overcome with want (and you can't hold off for Microvision's laser-based SHOW WX), it's available to purchase right now for $219.

Acer Liquid slips through human fingers, but not before divulging new specs (updated)

Generic form factor? Check. Default Android skin? Check. Sure, that's nothing exciting, but the real draw of Acer Liquid's gonna be its large, 800 x 480 resolution screen (the exact size of which we still don't know) and its 1GHz Snapdragon chipset. Unfortunately for the guys at Pocket-Lint, they didn't get to play with the Donut-powered handset long enough to really push those two selling points, but on the bright side they did discover a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and some ISO adjustment options, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and what appears to be a 3.5mm headphone jack. Perhaps more importantly, they nabbed some pictures of the thing powered on and in action. Jealous? Yes, yes we are.

Update: We finally have the first images (above) showing Acer's customized Android UI and social networking integration (after the break) courtesy of HDBlog.it. It not quite the full-blown replacement a la HTC Sense, but they've clearly brought a new bag of tricks in an attempt to make the vanilla OS experience Acer-unique.

[Thanks, Josh]

Zii Egg Android installer arrives next week, consumer devices nowhere in sight

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/

Zii hopefuls will be pleased to hear that ZiiLABS is releasing the Android installer "next week." The tweeted update means that developers with the Zii EGG will have the chance to get friendly with Google's droid as Creative's project attempts to walk our for retail on something other than its homegrown Plaszma OS. While this would have made stellar headlines in early 2009, at this point, with Microsoft and Apple both offering a stunning pair of dedicated, full-screen media devices, and a shedload of media-capable Android-based phones now hitting the market, well, it all seems to be too little and much too late for Creative. But if its only intention is to serve as the foundation for China's KIRF market then why should we care anyway?

[Thanks, Jonathan K.]
