The Acer Aspire S3 Ultrabook showcased at IFA 2011 Berlin


Acer would not want to be late when it comes to the latest technology available. With Intel's Ultrabook chips and together with Toshiba and Lenovo, Acer have showcased their Aspire S3 Ultrabook at IFA 2011 in Berlin. Like the other Ultrabooks out there (included is Asus's Eee PC UX21), the Aspire S3 will be thin. How thin? I guess this is the thinnest in all of them Ultrabooks, at only 0.51 inch (12.9mm) thick.

Toshiba intros the Portege Z830 Ultrabook laptop


At IFA 2011 a lot of Ultrabooks were showcased. This new chipset from Intel will give computer manufacturers the ability to make their laptops thin. The first Ultrabook that was announced a few weeks back was Asus's Eee PC UX21 which resembles a lot of the MacBook Air. Aside from that, Lenovo also showcased their own version of an Ultrabook, the Lenovo IdeaPad U300s.

Lenovo at IFA 2011 in Berlin have announced their Intel Ultrabook laptop, the Lenovo IdeaPad U300s. The laptop is only 15mm thin edge-to-edge. Lenovo designed the IdeaPad U300s to be 15mm thin from edge to the other edge to keep the idea of a book (which does not slim down at another edge).

Samsung unveils the Galaxy S WiFi 3.6 Android music player


Samsung announced during IFA 2011 in Berlin an Android powered Music Player. The Galaxy S WiFi 3.6 will be added into Samsung's Android powered PMPs along side the Galaxy S WiFi 4 and 5. Like Samsung's Android powered PMP, the Galaxy S WiFi 3.6 will directly compete with Apple's iPod Touch. It has all the things in a Galaxy smartphone sans the phone capabilities.

The HTC Titan the second and the larger Windows Phone 7 Mango handset

The second of the two Windows Phone Mango handsets that HTC announced at IFA 2011 Berlin, the HTC Titan, is the bigger of the two Mango devices. Before I go any further, have you noticed anything with HTC's smartphones? They totally look the same, this from the HTC HD7, while the HTC Radar kinda looks like an HTC Trophy. Anyway, they must be or are apparently the successor of those handsets. Anyway, I kind of like the HTC Titan, which also means I like ho the HTC Desire HD and the HTC HD7 are designed and shaped. The phone did not come with the launching and pricing details, so we will have to wait for that information to be announced by HTC or by a carrier out there. Anyway, this is the biggest Windows Phone device ever to land on Earth with it's 4.7" SLCD touchscreen display. This is probably HTC's largest smartphone? 

HTC intros their first Windows Phone 7 Mango device - HTC Radar


HTC's first Windows Phone 7 Mango device, the HTC Radar was unveiled by the Taiwan-based company during IFA 2011 in Berlin. HTC actually announced another WP7 Mango device, but I'll post about it after this. The smartphone gets an SRP of $569 and is expected to be launched in October of 2011. Head over the break to check the HTC Radar's specs.

Lenovo unveils the Lenovo IdeaPad A1 7-inch Android tablet


Aside from Samsung and Toshiba showing off their own Android tablet at IFA 2011, Lenovo has their own Android tablet they are showcasing at the same event in Berlin. Lenovo's tablet is not like Samsung's or Toshiba's which says "I'm the world's thinnest" or "I have Super AMOLED Plus on" but the Lenovo IdeaPad A1 7-inch Android Gingerbread powered tablet is one of the cheapest in the market when this device becomes available. So how cheap is it really? The 8GB version will only cost you $199. How's that for something that's easy on the wallet?


Toshiba announced the world's thinnest tablet at 7.7mm thin - Toshiba AT200


Toshiba at IFA 2011 have unveiled the world's thinnest tablet ever, the Toshiba AT200. Who thought that Samsung won't be debunked from this position, well Toshiba just out did them. The AT200 is the thinnest tablet around at only 7.7mm thin compared to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9/10.1's 8.6mm thinness and is running on Android 3.2 Honeycomb.
