How many people would prefer white iPhone 4 to a black one? This is a genuine gadget geek’s question and we should have probably organized a poll for that matter, but this is not the case. Whatever the answer would have been, at least some of you are actually holding out for a white iPhone to come out. And it is a pity that you have to. But thanks to Stuart Hughes, who decided you should have none of that, you can buy a white unlocked 32GB iPhone 4 today for just $20,000. Has he covered it with diamonds? – You are probably asking. Well guess what, yes he has. Another good question though is if diamonds somehow address reception issues stock iPhones have? I’m not sure if this is relevant, but since we are talking smartphones here it probably is. Unfortunately we are not concerned about diamond edition iPhone 4 users having any complains so far, so if you want to make sure you will have to buy it and find out for yourself.

India’s Government Offers $35 Cloud Based Laptop

A prototype tablet computer with a touchscreen is going to be sold for only $35. The government of India is offering up this laptop which will use a web-enabled cloud interface, instead of the normal desktop or laptop hardware used today. The laptop runs on Linux, or some form there of, has no internal storage, but will take a memory card for storage.

The laptop offers a word processor, video conferencing, a Web browser and can be run on solar power. The $35 laptop is very affordable, almost too disposable of a product for these days. The laptop is $65 less than the MIT $100 laptop used in the One Laptop One Child campaign and over $400 less than the new Apple iPad.

Obviously we are missing many of the features that a more expensive models carry, but that is not the point. For a tablet looking laptop at $35, it might just be enough for a childs’ first computer and enough to get them on their way to furthering their knowledge via the internet.

There are very few specs available, in fact, the few that are listed here is about all we know about this thing. Things that make a difference to a buyer like, RAM amount, screen resolution and processor type, are not available yet. Stay tuned for that information and more.

ASUS Eee Pad & Eee Tablet get announced ahead of COMPUTEX 2010

Just ahead of COMPUTEX 2010 starting tomorrow, June 1st, we have some straight-forward iPad ompetitors appearance to discuss. These are ASUS Eee Pad and ASUS Eee Tablet. The Eee Pad model number EP121 is a 12-inch full-on Windows 7 Home Premium touch sensitive device with Intel Core 2 Duo CULV doing all the processing. It also has a webcam, a couple of connectivity ports I suppose and a dockable physical keyboard. Battery on this one will be going on for 10 hours. 10-inch Eee Pad EP101TC on the other hand runs Windows Embedded Compact 7 so it can very well have less processing power and longer battery life. Anyway, prices on both fit in $Rs.19950 - Rs.24950 range.


There is also ASUS Eee Tablet coming out. Compared to the Pads above this one is much limited in functionality, but still has a 2 megapixel camera, touch sensitive 2450 dpi screen, Micro SD card reader, USB, 10h battery life, all the rest for a rich-featured e-book reader (I’d be careful calling Eee Tablet something else).
