Now this is the ipad i might think about getting... - Off-topic

http://mashable.com/2010/04/26/cheaper-ipad-knock-offs-thrive-in-china/
Who would of thought the knock off would be just as good if not better than the original?
Not sure where you can buy it...i searched ebay and didn't find anything.

lol, though inevitable that was super fast!
More and more clones will hit the market as time goes on.
A few places you can get China's famous knockoffs from:
http://www.dealextreme.com (my favorite & a fantastic site for cheap gadgets, but the most 'legit' in this case, they won't state anything as an 'iPod/iPad' clone)
http://www.focalprice.com - This one is hilarious, they are a rival of DX and openly sell clones though use ridiculous terms to disguise trademarked names such as 'NokLa 3210 beautiful comfort phone' and post their own fake Engrish reviews
http://www.milkandhoneyland.com - I've never used them but they openly sell clones for what they are
Stay the hell away from clones though unless they're something you really want or have money to burn!
Edit:
One version shown had three USB ports

Price for this beauty is: 210 USD

LOL..ROFL...NokLa

I've used windows tablets for years, and they all suck unless they have an awesome resistive screen, or a active digitizer. Now those cheap android tablets, on the other hand, are mighty tempting

I got it and is arrived yesterday, i'm very impressed by it; 7 inches is a good size and the screen is very brilliant, 2 hours and half of autonomy and a good response of the touch screen.
But i'm new of Android devices and i've not a term of paragon;
How i can improve the android version? for you is possible to up it to the 2.1?

I wouldn't think you would be able to get 2.1 just yet, with it being the latest firmware anyone know if it gets OTA updates like the phones?

To be honest, I would rather get an iPad over this piece of crap.
Windows XP is a terrible OS for tablets.

I see...this a customizable tablet.....it's alright then...

None of these pads are made of magic like the iPad and they don't have a special booth in Best Buy

***PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK IF YOU VIEW***I know most of you on here know all ths stuff already, but this is my post i'm broadcasting on the various forums i am a part of. anyone that is interested, don't hesitate to pM or post, this is no joke or scam or anything, just trying to get this thing gone. don't be afraid to offer, whats the worse that could happen?***
This is one of AT&T's flagship phones. In my opinion, this is the best phone available one the market today, beating the Xperia X1, iPhone, etc.
I've always been a phone freak, and I do EXTENSIVE research before purchasing a new one. I've been dealing with HTC phones for over 3 years now, and I've never had a desire to go with another company. I love windows mobile and all the cool things you can do with it. The list of programs and applications is endless.
The phone has a GPS receiver built right into it, and I loaded TomTom 7 on it, making it a fully functional GPS unit. It also features a 3.2MP camera with a super bright flash, built in FM tuner, business card reader, mp3 player, picture and video viewer, and lots of other great things. Windows Mobile 6.1 works flawlessly on this phone, thanks to the OEM HTC ROM I flashed on this FUZE, essentially making it a HTC Touch Pro.
The new Touch Flo 3D interface is something to behold. This phone is absolutely beautiful, from it's high resolution VGA screen to its "diamond cut body" and perfect form factor.
I bought this phone for over $500, and I have to say, it was worth every penny. I'm selling it cheap, so don't miss out on this sweet oppurtunity. Thanks alot for reading, and happy buying.
Please no low balls, I'd prefer cash but may consider trades. I accept paypal and money orders. Due to my low feedback, I will work with you as far as shipping arrangements go. I will provide contact information upon payment, and provide confirmation numbers and information upon receiving.
Pictures!

Why would you sell if you love it this mutch? Dunno if this forum is designed for selling Phones.
i need cash quick.. got in a pretty bad car accident and I have zero transportation, gotta pay my car insurance. I bought a piece of **** car for $300, and i don't think it would be cool to have a cell phone that is worth more than my car.

whoops.... good catch, thanks man
personally,
I am in London atm,
I got the touch pro,

it is a great phone none the less, but would really prefer a blackberry tbh...

Need some 3rd party-no interest-help

Good day gentlemen (and lady nerds),
Though I consider myself knowledgeable in desktops, I find it better to include a third party to aid me in making a decision in purchasing a desktop. To make it easy...these are the things I'm looking for (to narrow the possibilities)
Will be going to Best Buy---I know...but I really have never had any issues with them...besides, the person helping can look at their website for specs.
Desktop options:
Pretty much open to anything (see??? It wasn't hard!!) Looking for:
dual layered dvd/rw lightscribe drive
at least 500gb
4gb ddr2 sdram mem
Price range --- up to $500 US (or 6 million pesos +QuePPC)
capable of handling photo and video editing without me having to wait 10 minutes to apply changes...
I just need to replace my current desktop, as it feels like its beginning to run on fumes (already 5 1/2 years old)---poor fella...
**off topic--went to Mexico as a child and found a coin...person told me that it was like 5,000 pesos and I was like, "Man!!! I'm rich!!!!" Went to a store...and came out with a stale, spicy piece of candy...rip off!!!
I dont know if its will be in your price range but!!!
Intel core i7 920 (the cheapestof i7 but can be OCd to 4ghz)
Nvidia Geforce 9600 and up (like 9800 or gts250) or a good ati card like 4870 (about the same power a Nvidia geforce 260 - but much cheaper)
about the other stuff -well if this all will be in you price range - then find something that is compatible with this!!
Good Luck!

500US is not 6 million pesos
500US = 6,651MX
We do not have a 5,000 pesos coin!
The biggest coin is like 20 pesos
Unless you came México before 1985...

You're wasting your time going to bestbuy.
I build systems regularly and you can get a brand new i5 system with a dedicated video card for about 600. It's more than you were looking to spend, but FAR superior to what you'd get at bestbuy for the money. If you're interested, I can piece something together at an online retailer and email it to you. I just hate seeing people pay more for less in a store.
Okay...how about this then?
Looked up a site...and just plugged in some specs...
can I do better than this at a 585 price????
Take something like Pentium DualCore E5200, cheapest 4GB RAMs 800/1066MHz (they actually might be cheaper lol), WD6400AAKS harddrive (640GB, fast, awesome), 400W Seasonic PSU, GTS250 GPU, Gigabyte G31 motherboard (or P35 ASUS or anything like that) plus other things you need (dvdrw, casing). I hope it can fit in 500$ (it's not that much tbh).
PS: You can easy overclock the E5200, all of them goes at least to 3.3GHz
This setup runs at $513 US...is this decent?
That's better, but the GPU I don't like (crappy drivers), plus harddrive would be better WD6400AAKS since it is faster. Why the hell did you choose crappy nvidia 7100 motherboard? Take cheapest G31 or P35 MoBo.
If this is maximum you can pay, take it. Still, the price seems pretty high for me.

Nice selection you have made.

Not quite a PPC. But still portable :D

Wireless LAN - 802.11b, 802.11g
Wireless WAN - 3G
Memory expansion - MicroSD
Display type - TFT
Display size - 5 in

Built-in devices - camera, keyboard, phone
Dimensions (W x H x D) - 174x25x84 mm
Navigation button/wheel
OS - Windows XP Professional SP3
Battery type - Li-ion
Looks pretty cool. I would get one if i had the £445 for it
Maybe in the near future aayyyyyyyyyy
fancy. where can i get one?
I'd love to get one of these true mini-computers (I like to think of my Rhodium as a mini-computer but until it runs regular desktop Windows it will always be somewhat limited).
However, I absolutely hate the way the mouse is setup on most of these kits. Usually there seems to be some kind of minuscule trackpad on one side of the screen and mouse buttons on the other side. I see the mouse buttons on this one, but where's the track pad? Is it that diamond shaped thing on the top left? If so I cannot imagine that the mouse on this thing would be even close to usable.
What I really want is a trackpoint/nipple mouse like the ones on Lenovo Thinkpads. I think Sony produced something like this, but it was absurdly expensive (~$800).

You are referring to the UX series UMPC. Beautiful device (when you install XP on it). My only complain is the keyboard has recessed keys (think of the Motorola Razr), so typing is difficult as hell.
I very much like the one that the OP has posted though. It does look somewhat like the Rhodium
Actually this is what I was thinking of:
Sony Vaio P
Both nice looking kits

The middle one kinda looks like the Uni
Don't get that sharp one, whatever you do. It's a nice machine, but I sold mine after a month because you get about an hour of use out of it(of battery), now I have a viliv s5 and love it. Sony ux was good, never had one, but loved playing with one at the stores
I ended up getting an Acer Aspire One A150.
Got it off a friend who has no idea on the price of electronics...
as a result, i got it for £20
Still might get one of these ULTRA portable netbooks sometime in the future though

Viliv S5
Any other Viliv users here? I want to ask about GPS navigation software for the S5.
Ordering one next month! ..
Yuck... although I like the concept of small portable computers... the reality is usually too much eye strain and inability to do perform "normal" computing tasks.
The smallest I want my computer to be is my netbook... which usually sits collecting dust on my night stand.
Wow people these are so cool! I haven't even heard of antly of these. So awesome. I have to have one now.

If you tweak it a little you'll be able to play GTA Vice City on it San Andreas will also run, but you won't get 60 FPS.

^ This. It sounds VERY similar, but it's taken almost a year this to come out, and the NC is already fairly established (same thing with the Kindle Fire). It's the way of things. At least when you're ready to put the Nook into retirement, there should be a strong upgrade to go to.
It's a rooted Nook, which is a step up from the Fire....
Kobo Vox and an Easy Nook Color 2 Upgrade
The Kobo's most promising feature is definitely the AFFS+ display, something that could easily be added to the NC2. If it was just an updated NC then it should have bluetooth and FM in it. I was thinking that an easy NC2 update for B&N would be to:
1) Replace the IPS display with an AFFS+ one.
2) Enable hardware support for Bluetooth AND the FM radio.
3) ICS! Android 4.0
4) Video out?
I am not talking about an uber tab here, after all the NC is and will likely stay an e-reader primarily. It does what it needs to, and there is no reason to add more horsepower under the hood. But even if they only did what I suggest, and lowered the price it would likely fly...
They will probably not do it like that, and will probably f it up by taking out things that make it popular ( east rooting and booting from the card slot? ).
Still, for the least amount of investment, and maximizing their current designs lifespan that is definitely what I would do.

That sounds pretty good... of course with a slight bump in cpu and memory...a killer GPU is probably too much to ask for an ereader More seriously though, better speakers would be nice too and/or pen input.

Help me find a good notebook

First, I won't buy it soon. Just looking for one to have ideia about what notebook to choose. So, being launched until end of 2013 isn't problem for me.
So, I want:
-Processor: Intel Core i5 or i7 (Ivy Bridge, if possible).
RAM: 6 to 8 Gb
HD: + or - 500 Gb, or a SSD with a big capacity.
Screen: 14 to 16 inches, maybe FullHD.
Keyboard: Not needed, but numeric keyboard is a good. A must is retro-iluminated keyboard. Maybe controls for music (Play/Pause, Backward (forgot the word!!!), Next and volume control.
Graphics Card: No need for the best, only something that can play games quite nice, as playing won't be the main use.
Weight: The less, the better.
Size: The thinest as possible.
Connectivity: 1 HDMI, 1 VGA, 3 or 4 USBs (preference for 3.0, at least 2.0), CD/DVD Reader/Recorder. Blu-Ray not needed, but optional. 1 SD/MicroSD (there is a notebook that hava Micro SD?). Don't use many others. Bluetooth not needed, but if possible, I want.
Color/Finish: Piano Black or something Grey. Suggestions accepted.
Another things I may have forgotten, please ask.
Use will be browsing, wathing movies/series, light to medium editior programs usage, gaming, songs (a lot) and, of course, Android user things.
Thanks for the help.
It will serve you well.

Yes I know, got one myself. Asus K53SV-SX838V. It got an I7 2670QM 2.2Ghz, 8GB Ram, Nvidia GT 540M 1GB, 640GB HDD.
But well you got look for yourself, Asus K53 is the serie I have, they have them in several options, I got the better option. This one should fill your needs for sure.
sent you a PM.
I've always been partial to Toshiba. Never had any hardware related problems with them.
Here.
I have an HP, and although they aren't that reliable, their performance is outstanding, especially the dv7 series. Go for one of these, Toshibas are also extremely durable and reliable.
