Hasta La Gadget!

After a rocky, if not comical launch, Dell’s Inspiron Mini 10 is now shuffling out in full force to legions of soon-to-be netbook owners. For those of you who already bought in — via QVC or the more traditional street corner vendor model — we’re wondering what you’d do differently if magically given a mythical Do Over token. Would you simply offer up the options (TV tuner, for one) promised during the machine’s announcement? Would you tweak that trackpad at all? Add a little bulk in exchange for a beefier battery? Paint the whole thing fuschia and make it reek of week-old bananas? Feel free to get as crazy as you’d like in comments below; who knows, maybe Round Rock’s tuning in to just see what you have to say.

Ah, the Ocean 2. The handset Helio loyalists have been clamoring for since, well, forever ago. After seeing the OZ2 break cover in the FCC last March, we wondered just how long it’d take for this thing to ever go on sale — and that was assuming it even would go on sale. Now, Earthlings just like yourself can buy the handset for a buck forty-nine on contract, and given that hordes of you Helio faithful already have, we’re now ready to hear how you’d change it. Is the fit and finish up to snuff? Is it the “3G Social Networking Powerhouse” you thought it would be? Are you digging the color scheme? Are you making others envious, or simply becoming envious of others? You’ve waited a long, long time for this opportunity — don’t blow it.

The pico projector market has practically exploded over the past six months or so, but all the while it was 3M’s MPro110 leading the charge. Given that you’ve now had a few months to toy with it, we’re wondering if this thing really has lived up to the hype. Is having a projector in your pocket as awesome as advertised? Is the image quality sufficient for impromptu wall splashings? Would you recommend holding off for round two? We have all ideas we’ll hear tons of “make it brighter!” and “where’s the 1080p version?” type comments, but if you have something else besides that to add, then — by all means — drop some knowledge on us in comments below.

The TouchSmart tx2z isn’t the first multitouch laptop out, but HP’s pretty adamant that it’s the first multitouch “consumer” convertible tablet. Semantics aside, we’re interested in finding out just how impressed you early adopters are with what the company has crafted. Are the multitouch capabilities as awesome as you had hoped? If not, what areas could be improved? Would you still recommend it to prospective buyers looking to give their digits a bit more work? We get the feeling we’ll see loads of multitouch laptops gracing our presence over the next few months / years, so make sure you really unload on this one. It’s what makes progress possible, people.

The miniaturized gaming rigs began shipping out during CES, and we’ve no doubt that a few of you with space constraints and a lust of high frame rates have already chomped on the bullet. So, does the machine live up to the hype? Is it worth the asking price? What features weren’t included that should have been? Has it handled your gaming demands with ease? Feel free to sound off below — who knows, maybe Mr. Sood will tune in and hear you out.
