ICQ BETA for Windows Mobile now available

ICQ is very popular IM service on Windows PCs. But, it neglected the Windows Mobile devices from the past couple of years and did not released any updates for its IM client for Windows Mobile. Now, the ICQ is trying to revive its Windows Mobile client by releasing a BETA version.

The new BETA has updated interface and looks very promising for sure. The installer is in the form of a CAB file which is meant to be directly executed on your device. Copy the file using activesync and execute the cab file on the device itself.

J&W launches Minix Netbook

Looks like every single computer manufacture wants to have a netbook under their company’s name. Same is the case with the J&W, a motherboard manufacture. Unlike other companies, which just rebrand the netbooks of other companies, J&W are going to manufacture the netbook themselves. As a result of it, chances are that it will end up being cheaper than the other netbooks. It has the usual netbook specs:

  • Intel Atom N270 processor
  • 1GB RAM
  • 945 chipset
  • Windows XP (Ubuntu version in talks)
  • HSPDA (optional)
  • WiFi, BT
  • webcam (1.3MP)

It comes with a keyboard cover that will prevent your device from getting destroyed in case you spill some liquid over it. Although that does not make it special at all as several 3rd party accessory makers sell these cheap keyboard covers for the netbooks. Personally, they do not provide enjoyable typing experience. So, I generally do not keep the liquids and my netbooks too close.

But, does not it looks too much like the MSI Wind U100? Even the specifications are similar to the MSI Wind U100.

Apple Macbook Air clone – Teso

Teso is not the company many people are familiar with, but it has come up with a decent looking netbook, which looks a lot like the Apple’s Macbook Air. Sporting a 12.1-inch display, it should be smaller than the Macbook Air and not to mention much cheaper due to its netbook-ish specs:

  • Atom N270 CPU
  • 250GB HDD
  • WiFi
  • 1.4kg
  • RJ45 port
  • 2 USB 2.0 ports

So, the Macbook Air’s Intel Atom based clone is here. Although the specifications are quite normal for a nebtook (other than the 250GB HDD), it is really slim. It is nice to see the manufactures producing slim devices as they are much easier to carry around provided they do not give shabby battery life.

Although the keyboard is not all like the one found on Macbook Air. But hey, we are talking about netbooks here.

ASUS EEE keyboard specs unveiled

Alright, we somehow missed this news. From the outside, it may look like just another keyboard, but it packs in much more than just a keyboard. They were able to squeeze in an Atom N270 processor, 5-inch 800×480 pixel screen, 16GB SSD, 1GB RAM, WiFi and Bluetooth and even USB 2.0 ports. I’m still wondering how the ASUS was able to put in so much under a keyboard. But how would your desktop look with the wires coming out from the keyboard? Odd.

EEE PCs are still the best selling netbooks, at least in Japan

ASUS EEE PC are still the best selling netbooks in Japan with having nearly 27% of the total market share of netbooks. Also, EEE 1000H is the best selling netbook in Japan followed by Lenovo Ideapad S10 and Acer Aspire One.

Commentary: The reason behind the EEE 1000H’s success is simple. With newer EEE PCs rolling out in the market, the price of the 1000H has fallen down considerably. The full-featured netbook along with an irresistible price tag have together resulted in great sales.
