What is Cell Mate?
Never settle for sub-par reception. Never worry about charging your Bluetooth headset. Never risk your safety trying to sync your headset with your phone while driving. All you have to do is answer your cell phone and place the Cell-Mate on your head.
What were the folks at Cell Mate thinking anyway? Nothing is interesting other than the lady in the picture

The LuvBook F1500B is a new netbook by Mouse Computer. The latest trend in the netbook market is incorporating the DVD-RAM drives under the hood. The LB F1500B does no different. It comes with a built-in DVD-writer to satisfy those folks who always complain about difficulty in loading applications into their netbook. There is no information about its price and release date.
Specifications of F1500B:
Sources say that it is basically a MSI Wind U100 with a DVD drive. I fail to understand this latest trend though. The netbooks were initially designed to be portable, small and light-weight. Incorporating DVD-RAM drive would:
I’ve seen so many people complaining about the lack of DVD drive in netbooks. The reasons which they give are pretty lame to be honest. Some say, they won’t be able to load their applications on it without DVD drive. Well, most of the applications are available online that they can download them to their netbooks. Another way is to install it via LAN by connecting a LAN wire to notebook/desktop PC, which have DVD/CD drive by sharing the drives. Another and probably the most easiest way is to install via external DVD drives.
MSI Wind U100 and Acer Aspire One are two of the very popular netbooks, which are available in various parts of the world under countless brands. Here is another one, from Gateway, which is a re-branded Aspire One. It was lately seen in the local office Depot in Singapore. It looks like Gateway has left the specifications untouched. It comes with the 8.9-inch screen, Intel Atom N270 processor clocked at 1.6GHz, 160GB HDD, 1GB RAM, Win XP Home. It is available at a price of $379.
edit: It was spotted in Redmond (Thanks Andrew for the tip!)
We know very well Archos for it’s PMPs and MIDs. But now, Archos is all set to join the netbook battle. They are going to release a 10.2-inch netbook, Archos 10. But, they are themselves not making this netbook. It is just a rebranded Hasee MJ125, which has plain Jane netbook specs. Perhaps that the reason, they quitely unveiled it at CES 2009.
Here are the Not-so-Exciting Features:
There is no official information about it’s price yet. However, judging by it’s specifications, it should be around $350-$399.
After so many months of waiting, the ViewSonic would finally be launching the ViewSonic netbook LinkPC. But, don’t get your hopes too for this netbook as it’s specfications as-well-as looks are pretty basic. The price is qutie high at $400, which is not a wise desicion as the competition in the netbook market is getting fiercer and fiercer day-by-day.
Infact, we had some hopes have that ViewSonic would come up with a netbook to rival the new hybrid netbook from MSI U115, but ViewSonic has let us down. Here are the quick specs of it:
1.6GHz Atom processor
1 GB of RAM
160 GB HDD
Wi-Fi
Window XP Home
It will be available by the end of March.
