Hasta La Gadget!

It happened once before, but now it’s in stone: MSI has just come clean with its WindPad 110w pre-order, with $599.99 grabbing you a place in line. For those who’ve forgotten, that price premium nets you a 10-inch panel (1280 x 800), 4GB of DDR3 memory, a 32GB solid state drive, a pair of full-size USB ports, a mini-HDMI socket, Windows 7 and AMD’s Brazos processor platform. Make no mistake — this ain’t your average tablet, which may (or may not) explain the $100-above-average MSRP. Hit the links below if you’d like to make the best impulse buy of your week, but make sure you’re prepared to wait on an August 1st ship date.

And with that, yet another punch is thrown. The slugfest that is Apple vs. Samsung is getting uglier by the minute, as each one pushes the other’s buttons in a presumed effort to get paid (or get the other to back down). Just as Apple was being told “no” in a request for a preliminary injunction, it’s hoping for a more satisfactory outcome from its most recent filing. That one’s headed to the US International Trade Commission in Washington, where Apple’s trying to block the import of the Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab, amongst other Samsung products. The ITC only stated “Electronic Digital Media Devices,” but FOSS Patents has found five utility patents and a pair of design patents — those encompass a grand total of six Sammy smartphones and a duo of slates. Analysts are stating that an outright ban on Samsung imports is unlikely (no shock there), and the most likely outcome here is a “settlement and cross-licensing deal.” Mo’ money, mo’ problems, right?
