Hasta La Gadget!

SIM2 never fails to stun, and it’s proving yet again that it couldn’t care less about the global economic situation (or that it just aims at a class of people that are simply unaffected) with the Grand Cinema HT5000E. Said device was actually outed yesterday courtesy of an HDGiants pair-up, but today we’re being gifted with the official details. The three-chip DLP beamer includes a trio of 0.95-inch DarkChip4 DMDs, a 1,920 x 1,080 native resolution, six lens options, Ethernet jack for remote control and world-class color uniformity / edge-to-edge focus capabilities. Yeah, it’ll cost you more than most vehicles and even some diminutive homes at $57,995, but at least the white glove delivery service is included. A true bargain, let us tell you. Full release is after the break.

While wandering Palm’s lounge of poor lighting and heavy shadow, we bumped into the retail packaging for the Pre. While not likely the final design, it certainly follows Palm’s recent packaging aesthetic.

Somehow we missed the Eee D200 when we first visited the ASUS booth. A return this morning confirms our suspicions that this strange looking device is nothing more than a NAS media server with a touch screen. Remote administration is available, as well as four USB and four Ethernet ports. Don’t miss the pictures in our gallery and the video posted after the break.

Looks like our puppy-dog eyes have served us well yet again — we just got to spend some time with Dell’s ultra-hot Adamo. It’s really small, less than an inch thick, we’d say — and although we didn’t measure, we’d say that 13-inch screen rumor was spot on. “Adamo” is actually the brand, like Inspiron — this is just the first machine that’ll be out. We weren’t allowed to boot it up or do much of anything except take pictures, but it’s built really, really, well — and it’s a total smudge magnet, with a super-glossy display and a shiny black panel like the Studio XPS series on the lid. Expansion-wise, we spotted three USB ports and an eSATA jack, and the power adapter is crazy small, with a removable plug for international use. The design is somewhat reminiscent of the Envy 133 with its squared-off shape, but it’s still very unique, and while we didn’t put in any serious time on the keyboard, it felt solid enough. Here’s the problem, though — we have no idea what’s actually inside this gorgeous case, and until we do, it’s just another pretty face. Hopefully Dell comes clean on specs and pricing sometime soon — we’d love for there to be some muscle under that hood. We’re headed back to the trailer to up a video, check back!
