Since the release of Lenovo IdeaPad Y650 hi-def multimedia laptop, we’ve been waiting for the upgrade for Y530 to show up as well.
That waiting may soon be over. Today, hidden under the Intel’s filing, Lenovo IdeaPad Y550 laptop has been approved by FCC.
For now not many details about the specs the new Lenovo Y550 has emerged, but they are pretty easy to guesstimate.
Enough with Dell Adamo teaser sites and videos already. We want the real thing.

When live blurry pics of ultra widescreen portable PC from Lenovo popped out of nowhere last week, we’ve got pretty excited here.
It looked like a very interesting and well designed portable computer, which could make quite a buzz when released. Hopefully soon.
Well, today we’ve got some additional news about it. Some good and some pretty bad.
The good news - are the pictures of the Lenovo “Pocket Yoga” netbook, UMPC or however you want to call it, coming officially from Lenovo:
The bad news - it is just a concept of a pocket sized PC developed two year’s ago. And it’s nowhere near the production.
Well, darn. I hope after the buzz Pocket Yoga generated in techland, Lenovo will change it’s mind and will start working on tis beauty, pronto.

10.1” inch Acer Aspire One AOD150 has been one successful netbook since it’s introduction about a month ago.
About the only thing missing in in Aspire One AOD 150, was the lack of 3G connectivity. Let’s face it, connecting to the net via Wi-fi is all good and well, but groping for the 3G USB dongle every time there’s no hot-spot around, can be rather frustrating.
Well, I have some good news for you. Acer Aspire One AOD150 model with built-in U.S 3G band modem has just passed through FCC.
You can expect seeing 3G HSDPA enabled Acer Aspire One AOD150’s netbooks in some shops soon.
And there’s more. Aspire One AOD150 3G the module supports AT&T 3G bands, and AT&T is very keen to start it’s own netbook push this year. So I wouldn’t rule out some sweet bundled deals coming for Acer Aspire One AOD150 from there soon.
Full specs of Acer Aspire AOD150 include:
Intel Atom N270 1.60 GHz CPU
Intel 945GSE chipset
Windows XP Home OS
10.1” WSVGA 1024×600 display
Intel GMA950 graphics accelerator
1GB of RAM
160 GB 5400 rpm SATA HDD
100/1000 Mbps LAN, Wi-Fi b/g
6 cell Li-Ion batter for up to 6.5 hrs operation
Just look what we got here.
Some interestin, and probably expensive Lenovo laptop or netbook with a really wide display:
For now that’s all we know about this device, except that the pictures were taken in a showroom at Lenovo Beijing office.

By now, everybody who cares, knows, that Asus is working on, or at least experimenting with, Android OS on it’s Eee PC netbook line.
People have been expecting Android based Asus Eee PC to be announced by th end of this year.
But French tech site Mobinaute reports, that the new Android Eee OC may be announced much sooner.
During Cebit show in Germany last week, Eric Chen, head of Asus European branch mentioned that Asus engineers have been experimenting how to adapt a small screen optimized Android UI to a bigger netbook display. And Asus will formally present the results of their experiments within next two months.
Sounds really interesting. Asus launched a new commercial netbook market last year with their original Eee PC. Can’t wait to see what the new Android based Eee PC will bring us.
Dell Adamo must be one of the most hotly awaited ultrapostable notebooks this year.
Except that Adamo should be a ultrathin luxury laptop focused on design, portability and competition with the likes of Macbook Air, notmuch is known about it.
But the sense of premium luxury build is now reinforced by Dell promo video showing the staged Dell Admo construction process, with futuristic robots, lasers and gravity defying assembly process:
Acer Aspire One has been quite a hit among a plethora of netbooks out there.
Now it looks like Acer is working on an updated version of it’s netbook, numbered Acer Aspire One ZG8 (AO530).
Not much info about the new Aspire One ZG8 netbook out there yet, but it just passed through the FCC and we can bring you some pictures of AO530:
Acer Aspire One ZG8 AO530
The rumored specs of ACer Aspire One AO530 include:
There are also some rumors floating that Aspire On ZG8 will also have a multi-touch touchpad. But the users manual available through FCC filings shows no such thing, so I am not really sure about that.
Since I first read about the new concept of Tactus keyboard by Art Lebedev, I was intrigued how similar the idea is to the one described in Apple’s Multi-Touch keyboard patents.
The basic idea is the same - a full touch surface peripheral, that can be programmed to perform various input tasks. About the only (maybe) new thing that Tactus adds to Apple’s idea is the possibility to display grainy images.
And today another Apple patent application, called “Dynamically controlled keyboard“, became public. It describes practically the same device as already in production Art Lebedev’s “Optimus Maximus” keyboard:
