This one's been in the oven for some time, but at long last, we're finally able to see official images of the 11.6-inch Aspire One netbook that we first heard about in early March. Obviously aimed at the likes of Dell's Mini 12, this larger-than-usual netbook still packs the all-too-familiar suite of "netbook internals," but that doesn't mean it can't look pretty being average. The relocated VGA port is sure to become this unit's signature (or... something), right beside the sleek overall appearance and nicely spaced keyboard. If we didn't know any better, we'd say we see a little X-Slim in here -- right? One more look after the break, or you can opt for a boatload down in the read link.

Garmin Oregon 300 Handheld GPS Navigator Review
Although the main focus of attention for GPS technology has been on automotive navigation, it has many more uses other than helping you drive from A to B. If you're out hiking in the wilderness, knowing where you are and which direction you should be going is equally essential, and potentially a life saver. Previously, a GPS was good for getting your coordinates, but the built-in maps paled in comparison to traditional Ordnance Survey paper. Now, at long last, Garmin's Oregon 300 addresses those needs, offering a full range of digital OS maps for the UK, plus plenty of useful and fun extras.
Nokia's flagship N97 gets its own website, pre-order link ($699)
If flash animations and S60 5th edition are your idea of a good time then you'll want to head on over to Nokia's new interactive N97 landing page. From there you can get as close as you'll ever get to Nokia's flagship slider with 3.5-inch, 640 x 360 pixel resistive touch-screen display prior to its expected June launch. So go ahead, take 'er for a spin and then hit the newly live pre-order button after you're convinced that this is the smartphone for you. Sure, there's lots of potential June competition out there but take heart: the Android-powered Samsung i7500 lacks a QWERTY, there's no guarantee that a next-gen iPhone will launch in June, and the Palm Pre might be a big fat dud. There, feel better about your choice?

AT&T to Sell BlackBerry Curve 8900 This Summer
AT&T has announced that the next-generation BlackBerry Curve 8900 will be available to subscribers and new customers sometime this "early summer."
Like the first version that T-Mobile released several months ago, AT&T's Curve 8900 will include Wi-Fi, GPS, a high-resolution 480-by-360-pixel LCD screen, and a 3.2 megapixel camera. In addition, the AT&T model will work in almost 20,000 company hotspots across the country, although it will most likely lack the ability to make free Wi-Fi calls.
Unfortunately, it also looks as if the Curve 8900 will still be a 2G phone even on AT&T. The carrier said in a statement that the handset will be a quad-band EDGE (850/1900/1700/1800 MHz) world phone, but made no mention of 3G HSDPA data access.

ASUS P6T6 WS Revolution X58 Motherboard Review
When X58 was first announced there were rumours about its graphics card support. Would it get SLI approval from NVIDIA and would it still support Crossfire? - Originally NVIDIA specified that X58 would need to use an nForce 200 PCIe bridge chip to run SLI, but a lot of pressure was put on NVIDIA from all of the motherboard companies and SLI support was granted to X58 through a native setup allowing two or three cards. However, Intel’s 3-way SLI still requires a 16/8/8 setup; not the fastest out there, but still good enough. NVIDIA still recommended its nForce 200 chipset for best performance SLI.

Big Screen Kindle Coming This Week
While it took Amazon some time to announce a successor to the original Kindle it seems a third device could be with us as soon as this Wednesday...
Leaks flying all over the US at present suggesting a bigger screen Kindle awaits us with a new focus on larger format content such as newspapers and textbooks. To this end Amazon has only served to pour petrol on the flames by confirming an event for 6 May to be held at the Pace University - the original base for the New York Times. Could 1 + 1 = 3? It seems unlikely this time.

HyperMac external battery powers MacBooks for 32 hours
Yep, Sanho's Hypermac is a big clunky external battery pack. Sure, we're intrigued by the idea of running a MacBook Pro for 32 hours straight, but we'd really rather hunt around for a power outlet than drop $500 on the 222Wh unit required to make that happen. On the other hand, we could definitely see splurging for the $150 car charger or the $200 60Wh model, but we're crazy like that. Shipping later this month, we're told.

GSkill Trident 2000Mhz
When DDR3 memory was first introduced a couple of years ago, to overclock this type of memory was fairly simple. Just increase the voltage loosen up the timings and start increasing the FSB. Now since the Core i7 CPU's were introduced back in november, we can no longer start adding an insane amount of volts to our memory to overclock them. Having a limitation on the amount of memory voltages we can apply, a voltage limitation of 1.65 volts. Well, unless you want to take a chance on bricking a perfectly good CPU. Having this limitation of voltage to the memory has left the memory world up in arms, how do they come up with memory that performs well with good timing's all the while not go above the 1.65 voltage limiation.

Samsung Series 8 UE46B8000 - 46in LCD TV Review
Samsung isn't the UK's biggest selling TV brand for nothing, you know. For, in another display of the sort confidence - bordering on bravado - and vision that's left its rivals trailing, Samsung has this year launched not just a couple of TVs using LED backlighting, but a whole new category of LED TVs, comprising no less than three different ranges. And, rather excitingly, it's a model from the highest of these three ranges, the B8000 series, that I've got my hands on today.
At 46 inches, UE46B8000 certainly looks every inch a flagship TV. For a start it's astoundingly slim - less than 30mm deep off its stand, in fact. Samsung's addition of a clear, centimetre-wide prism beyond the edges of the screen's glossy black, ultra-minimalist frame also looks divine, as does the transparent ‘neck' that joins the TV to the included (though not pre-attached) metal desktop stand.
