If we believe what is being rumored, Apple’s future iPods may possibly get cameras like the iPhone. Moreover, the future iPhone models are being said to retain the handset’s existing shape and size, despite fakes and rumors circulating. Hardmac, the English-language version of France’s MacBidouille, cites that Apple’s new line of iPod touch and iPod nano players, when launched in September this year, will be equipped with video recording capabilities.
The rumor of a compact iPod nano with a built-in camera seems a bit odd, but then, we can’t close our eyes to it completely. Since the players do have a built-in photo viewer, I sense some genuineness in this rumor.

Nvidia’s 512-core GT300 Taped Out At 40nm, Already In A1 Silicon
Nvidia’s next-gen Tesla GPGPU engine, the 40nm GT300 GPU, has been confirmed to be in A1 silicon at Nvidia’s labs, meaning it actually taped out sometime in January, February or March.
The first silicon produced would’ve been A0, meaning Nvidia is already through one stepping pre-production, which is not uncommon. In fact there may be a solid explanation for it as it was previously rumored that both ATI and Nvidia are having trouble with TSMC’s 40nm process technology, and that could be affecting yields. If true, then the re-spin (moving from one stepping to another) could be done not for performance reasons exactly, but rather to address TSMC’s 40nm issues.

ASUS Unveils New Motherboard Catering Specifically to HTPC Users
ASUS released its new M4A78-HTPC Series motherboards that are developed specifically for use in Home Theater Personal Computers (HTPCs). HTPCs have become more prevalent due to the vast popularity of the Internet and the ease with which content can be found, downloaded and viewed. Also, the chipset technology that supports Full HD 1080p is maturing, and large-sized widescreen LCD monitors are becoming more mainstream - allowing users to download and watch HD videos directly on their PCs.
M4A78-HTPC Series motherboards are based on the AMD 780G chipset, which fully integrates HDMI/DVI support to display HD videos smoothly. Furthermore, M4A78-HTPC Series motherboards come with a user-friendly media center dubbed Home Theater Gate and a low-noise, energy efficient Tranquil Mode that offer users greater convenience and a more conducive music environment respectively.

Cooler Master HAF 922 Case Review
Last year Cooler Master debuted its High Air Flow or HAF 932 case design, which we reviewed in October. With a full size chassis and many of the same features found on the more expensive Cosmos and Stacker series, the HAF became Cooler Master's "budget" tower case for the masses. Hoping to capitalize further on the 932's popularity, Cooler Master now introduces a smaller version of the HAF design, the 922 mid-tower.
The HAF 922 shares its bigger sibling's rugged, industrial looks and overall style, bundled in a slightly smaller package. The HAF 922 measures roughly 20" tall by 22" deep and 10" wide, or only about two inches shorter than the full tower 932. Possibly better classified as an oversize mid-tower, this works out to just one 5¼" bay difference between the two, with only five external slots available versus the 932's six bays.

Samsung i200 Windows Mobile Smartphone
Today we have an interesting mix of smartphone meets slimphone, brought to us by those stylish engineers at Samsung.
This is an interesting mashup we have here today, with part of the phone wanting to be a candybar style, regular numeric keypad phone and the software side nestling firmly in the bosom of the big M$. A windows mobile phone with an aversion to qwerty; interesting!
It’s clear that the phone is not trying to be an all singing and dancing smartphone. For one, it lacks a touch screen and the one it has will not be useful for the touch screen applications of WinMo.

HornetTek D-Slim Review
With Netbooks gaining in the popularity, it is no longer a novelty or gadget in the computer world. In fact, it looks like it is here to stay. The Netbooks are designed to be highly portable and have a long battery life. As a result, Netbooks usually have to make a sacrifice by forgoing the optical drive. Although many people probably will be okay with the omission of the optical drive in place for a small portable computer, the truth is that there are times when having an optical drive can be useful even if you use your system on the go. Realizing such demand, HornetTek has launched the D-Slim, a portable optical drive that is designed to be used for those who need an external optical drive on the go.

LG X120 netbook review
On paper, LG's X120 netbook is just another entrant in the Atom-filled sea of sameness -- and, in many respects, it is. But it also gets a lot of little things right that too many manufacturers still invariably get wrong and, while it's not entirely without its faults, it certainly merits some serious consideration alongside all the usual suspects already on your shopping list. The fact that it also doesn't look too shabby doesn't exactly hurt things either. Read on for our full review.
In the looks department, LG has very nearly hit a home run. The X120 is wrapped in matte white finish that puts most of the other fingerprint magnets out there to shame, and even the green accent wrapping around the rounded edges of the netbook is nice and tasteful and not begging for attention.
