iPad, fat iPhone that doesn't make calls

Disappointed, sorry.  I've been playing with a Motion Computing J3400 running Windows 7 for a while now, and it just doesn't hold up.  Granted it's aimed at a completely different market, but there's nothing new here.

Motion J3400 iPad
Platform Windows 7 iPhone
Screen 12.3 9.7
Multi-touch No Yes
Stylus Yes No
Battery Life 8 hrs 10 hrs
Storage 120gb 64gb max
Internet Wifi, EVDO, 3G Wifi
Camera Yes No
Speaker Yes Yes
Mic Yes, dual Yes
Bluetooth Yes Yes
"Real" Apps Yes No
"Inking" Yes No
eBooks No iBooks
Main Input Stylus Finger
Alternate Input Keyboard/Trackpad On-screen keyboard
Target Serious Business Leisure
Verdict Good for certain needs and specific vertical markets.

Excells at digitizing the written word.		 A toy for reading email, watching videos and playing games, when an iPhone is too small and a laptop is too big.

impressively flexible You Rock Guitar

At first glance I thought exactly what you're thinking, another guitar controller?  Not being a huge fan of these music games (but certainly not opposed to them), I was instantly attracted to the You Rock Guitar, which works on its own as a versitile musical instrument or midi controller.

  • Works with game consoles Guitar Hero, as well as Rock Band
  • Works as a stand-alone digital intstrument
  • Works as a lag-free MIDI input device
  • Removable neck makes it portable
  • Bluetooth accessory makes it wireless
  • Has built in backing tracks and even a Flamenco mode!

Alienware M11X, portable PC gaming

The Alienware M11X looks really nice based on the Gizmodo hands-on review, I'd really love to get a machine that can crank out some TF2 fun.

  • Discreet NVidia Graphics
  • Video out via DisplayPort, HDMI, and VGA
  • Integrated battery (6 1/2 Hours non-gaming)
