Hasta La Gadget!

We’ve just seen what AMD’s Fusion platform can do for a laptop, and it looks like we’ll soon also be seeing it in a lot more devices — AMD has just announced its new Fusion-based Embedded G-Series platform, which can be used for things like set-top boxes, in-car computers, small form factor PCs, and more. That platform include the low-power x86 “Bobcat” core we’ve seen all along and a “world-class” DirectX 11-capable GPU, which AMD says adds up to a level of advanced computing that simply isn’t available in the embedded market today. Among the first products based on the platform to be announced are a pair of Mini-ATX boards from Fujitsu and three SFF systems from Kontron, which will be joined by a range of other products from various manufacturers that are expected to launch in the “coming weeks.” Head on past the break for the complete press release, plus a video of a G-Series-based car computer that AMD was demoing at CES.

Immediately following its big 3DS price and release date unveiling, Nintendo had on hand dozens of new titles playing on what we’d surmise is final hardware (or at least near-final, given its February 27th Japanese launch). Our first hands-on experience was just over six months ago during E3, at which point we were very impressed with what we saw. Did this playthrough garner the same excitement? Have our decidedly older but not much wiser selves become jaded by the novelty of it all? Venture on after the break to find out.

Engadget says the WebOS-based tablets Hewlett-Packard is expected to unveil next month could offer cloud storage and “premium audio,” likely powered by HP’s Beats audio.

As a geek I always find myself firing up Notepad because of how fast it is, plus it’s nice not being flooded with toolbar buttons. A free utility called Nocs will cater to those that feel the same way about Notepad, but also want some sort of synchronization with Google Docs. One particularly nice feature is that you can have documents auto-save in the background so that you should be able to recover most of your data even if your computer crashes.

Nocs also sports multiple tabs and can handle advanced searches using regular expressions. Here’s a better breakdown of some of the features:

• Full synchronization with multiple documents open at the same time (tabs).
• Auto-save files up to every 5 seconds.
• Supports folder organization (create/delete/rename), and you can specify a default folder to save to.
• Pin documents to have them auto-loaded when Nocs starts
• You can sort documents by title or by time updated.
• Regular expression search/replace.
• Tip: You can close tabs with by clicking the mouse wheel

I’d say that Nocs isn’t anything fancy, and isn’t much more advanced than Notepad itself. So if you’re not a fan of Notepad you probably won’t use this very much, but if you’re a fan of the plaintext files then Nocs might be right up your alley.

Note: I had problems installing this on Windows 7 because it said I didn’t have .NET 4.0 installed, but I did. It turns out you need the full thing installed, which is not what their installer links to in their prompt to get .NET Framework 4.0.

We can’t conclusively link this to the upcoming Palm tablets, but HP just filed for a trademark on “HP Touchpad” across a wide variety of products and services ranging from memory cards to — dun dun dun — “tablet computers.” We’re liking it as a tablet name, though — we’ve been getting the sense that the Palm name is on the way out, and “HP Touchpad” jibes nicely with the conspicuous lack of Palm branding on the invite for HP’s February 9th webOS event. What’s more, HP’s already invested heavily in branding its laptop trackpads with the ClickPad name, so this seems like something else entirely. We’ve definitely come across headfake trademark registrations in the past, so we’ll see what’s going on here — and whether this slow trickle of leaks ever turns into a flood.
