Every year , Hanover , Germany hosts drove of technical school journalists , analysts , and praseodymium hoi polloi for CeBIT . It ’s likeCES , sort of , except further away , and more boring . We decide not to go this yr ; it end tomorrow . Here ’s what we missed !
To be clear , these were some of the bigger stories of the conference , at least for American audience . We ’ve written a few other CeBIT stories up as well , which you may findhere , but by and big , the event just sort of came and locomote . So , this is what was take place over in Hanover this week , while the eternal sleep of the technical school world was going about their business .
Pierre Cardin Tablet : Wikipedia tells me that Pierre Cardin is a “ Italian - born French fashion decorator ” who is noted for his “ space age ” article of clothing conception . He ’s partner off up with a little Taiwanese OEM to make a tablet — the old foldy kind , not the slating - like new kind . It ’s pink , and it will cost $ 450 , if it ever hits stores in the US .
ASUS EeeTop ET2010PNT and ET2010AGTOn the exterior , ASUS EeeTops are basically a budget take on the AIO construct you ’re familiar with from the likes of the iMac and HP ’s Touchsmarts . On the interior , as with most ASUS product , they ’re inexplicable parts soup .
Shuttle I - Power External GPU : divulge news show , for people who would like to bribe a box that ’s nearly the size of a netbook and which can aid boost their notebook ’s graphics capabilities ! ( But only certain notebooks , because you need a particular adapter ! ) The Shuttle I - Power External GPU is ready to fit your fantasies .
1Cross B’ook ereader : retinue eDGe on a budget : The first measure here is to seek to remember what theEntourage eDGeis . Now that you ’ve done that , the 2nd step is to figure out why you care about this cheaper , meretricious , and somehow less practical take on the same construct .
Intel Atom for Storage Devices : Intel ’s Atom processor , traditionally stand for for netbooks and cheap laptop computer , are about as prosaic as technical school products get . I ’d even hold that this was true five minutes ago , which was before I ’d even heard about the Intel Atom for entrepot gadget , which is a particular version of the political platform for house and modest business internet repositing devices .
New Intel Classmate : Intel ’s ultra - budget Classmate convertible pad microcomputer are develop ! ( Slightly ! ) Here is the reference conception for the New one , which is quite alike toearlier character designson the exterior , but adapt somewhat for price and performance reason on the inside .

LG 12x Blu - beam drives : Did LG not have 12x Blu - ray writers before ? Are these just new translation of their one-time Blu - irradiation equipment ? Such are the whodunit of CeBIT , which could easily be solved , if anyone cared enough to Google for backlinks .
ASUS O!Play USB 3.0 : We’rebig fansof the ASUS O!Play set - top box seat around here and we ’re not very slightly more infatuated with the construct , now that it support USB 3.0 .
