Join Asus begins shipping Eee PCs with Windows XP in Japan
It’s no small secret that Asus made waves with their super-small Eee PC. It has so many good things going for it that one has difficulty focusing on the negative. No, you won’t find me ranting and raving about a small hard drive or the fact that it runs Linux, I think it’s great that they’ve managed to make something this great that runs under $400.

iMONO 80-in-1 High Speed Card Reader

iMONO 80-in-1 High Speed Card Reader supports 8-bit read-and-write speed – an Incredible speedy data transfer! No card adapters are needed as it compatible with most popular memory cards (Support the latest card types as SDHC, MMC4.2, CF4.0, micro SDHC and mini SDHC).
Brando is carrying this for $17.00, which is a pretty decent price if you ask me considering how everyone else is slowly but surely migrating over to the higher capacity formats these days. With measurements of 100mm x 27mm x 15mm, this is surely one portable friendly device.
Cameraphone to function as a mouse?
Now this is rather weird, but researchers have successfully come up with a way to make your cameraphone function as a mouse – whenever you’re not receiving or making a call, naturally. This software relies on Bluetooth technology to keep it going, and enables the cell phone to interact with public displays. For example, users can obtain product information or purchase tickets simply by using the camera. Unfortunately, this idea still requires a great deal of work before it is ready for a commercial release since the image capture and image processing rate on the cell phone is rather slow, and you have to deal the with the lag.
