HP buying Palm made some waves, but it’s got nothing on the other big tech deals we’ve spotted on the horizon: More »
Five years ago, stuffing a fully-functional WiFi radio into the size of a standard SD card would’ve seemed like science fiction — and actually, it kind of still does. Be that as it may, Eye-Fi is now well into its third generation of products, amazingly, and we’ve gotten a chance to check out the company’s newest top-of-the-line model that just recently started shipping, the Pro X2. Like the original Pro model before it, the Pro X2 is differentiated from its less pricey stablemates in two major ways: one, its support for RAW uploads, and two, its ability to connect to ad-hoc networks — in other words, you can wirelessly tether the card straight to your laptop rather than going through an access point. Where the Pro X2 gets the nod, though, is in what Eye-Fi calls the “X2 Engine,” a three-pack of features that includes 802.11n support, Class 6 SD performance, and a nifty feature coined Endless Memory. Let’s have a closer look at what’s changed — and for current Pro owners, whether the X2 warrants an upgrade.

The existence of the fabulous-looking Eee PC 1218 was only made public on the company’s design Web site, a forum for listing the awards bestowed upon its products, in this case a red dot award.
ASUS CEO Jerry Shen sure is making the rounds this week talking up the company’s upcoming entry into the tablet arena, but before giving up some more Eee Pad details he clarified that he doesn’t anticipate tablet sales surpassing that of netbooks. The latter category is for personal computing while tablets are based on consuming content and Cloud computing. Shen said something similar when we spoke with him at CeBIT, but this time he also added that without Apple the tablet category would have been slower to ramp up. We’d say he’s on the money with that one, but still he plans to launch an Eee tablet in early June at Computex. And though he mentioned there being a few versions, he revealed the “first phase will use Microsoft software.” We don’t know if that means the tablet will be Intel powered and run Windows 7, or pack a Tegra 2 processor and boot some version of Windows CE like we saw at CES. Regardless of what happens, we’d say Microsoft’s happy to hear this all after this week’s news.
