HTC Tablet Stylus Just $80

-
That HTC is touting the stylus for its Flyer tablet as a wonderful feature is risible on its own—outside of those with very specific uses, nobody should ever need a stylus in 2011. But the price is insane.

The stylus won't be included with the Flyer—instead, it'll be an $80 add-on. Eighty dollars. That's almost a fifth of the cost of the entire tablet. And although the thing does have some multimedia features tucked in, it's still, at its heart, a stick. A stick you use to draw on your screen—an interface element that I thought had been mummified long ago. But it's back! And very overpriced. (Gizmodo)

PC Mag Dustproof and immune to splashes and strong jets of water Panasonic Toughbook 40 Best Rugged Laptop - The Panasonic Toughbook 40 is an almost indestructible, ultra-customizable 14-inch armored data carrier. It's fully rugged, which puts it in a class above semi-rugged systems like its 14-inch peers the Dell Latitude 5430 Rugged and Panasonic's own Toughbook 55 Mk2. The Toughbook 40 can take a six-foot fall and carries MIL-STD 810H, MIL-STD 461G, and IP66 ratings—it's dustproof and immune to splashes and strong jets of water, though it can't survive actual immersion underwater as some smartphones can. Heavy and expensive All of the ruggedization makes the Toughbook 40 heavy and expensive, of course. Expect to pay north of $4,000 for this 7-pound brute if you're buying a single laptop. But nearly everyone who buys the Toughbook 40 isn't just buying one. They're buying a fleet for a police force, line technicians, or other similar organizations, which ty...

Now here’s something interesting in the computer bags/cases department. A company called “Cocoon Innovations” will be introducing a new lineup of bags next week at CES 2009 called the “Cocoon” Collection. The collection will feature a complete lineup of laptop computer bags, totes, portfolios, and accessories for the digital lifestyle. What makes the bags unique is a propriety feature on the interior of each bag called the “The Grid”. The Grid is a proprietary “universal, elastic organization system” for “customized digital device storage.”. I’m guessing it’s some sort of stretchable durable plastic that molds to the device – but it’s simply a guess. [ www.krunker.com ] VISIT THE SITE...
