Vegawatt: The Green Voltage

Going green is all the rage now, and what better way to help power a restaurant than using grease from the very same kitchen? Vegawatt was developed by the Owl Power Company, a clean energy system company based in Massachusetts, and was launched this month. Vegawatt units won’t provide all the power and electricity that a business needs, but can significantly improve its carbon footprint…

The 10.1-inch Acer Aspire One D150 has found its way onto Amazon and J&R’s websites and is now available for pre-order in blue and black color options, respectively. This version’s got the 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor and 6-cell battery, with no word on the 3-cell or 1.66GHz N280 variants. Asking price is three Benjamins and an Ulysses S. Grant, or $350 if you’re not into presidential pricing nomenclature. Additionally, the fine folks at netbooknews.de that gave us unboxing photos this week have a video hands-on of the laptop. High expectations from the market leader apparently turned into low marks for the glossy display, small trackpad, and a keyboard that’s “separated by universes” — and not in a good way — when compared to the Samsung NC10. Further testing is expected later this week, check out the video after the break.

Oh, the horror! You know, Samsung’s Omnia isn’t terribly unique, but we never thought we’d see it knocked off and disrespected like this. Clearly created for use on China Mobile (and by fools who don’t actually inspect the devices they buy), the Sumsang Omnia is a GSM smartphone that sports a 2.4-inch 320 x 240 resolution display, an MP3 player, a 13 megapixel camera (right…), USB connectivity, a couple of games, a microSD card slot and a sure-to-be-counterfeit version of Windows Mobile running the show. Of course, this abomination will only set you back a buck twenty, and hey — at least this version comes with dual SIM slots!

[Thanks, Derek]

It slipped under the radar this past week, but Dell and Susan G. Komen for the Cure announced a partnership that’ll see Dell donate $5 to the foundation for every new Promise Pink laptop it sells. Most of Dell’s line is available in the new hue, including the various Inspiron Studios and Minis, the XPS m1330 and m1530 — hell, even the Latitude E4200 for all you trendster suits out there. Dell’s committed to raising at least $250,000 through the program, so it apparently thinks these are going to be quite popular — we’ll know for sure if this dude trades up to Promise from Flamingo.
