At CeBIT Gigabyte announced something pretty surprising. They usually show off tablets with Microsoft's Windows on them but they've decided to show off a pretty good Android tablet at the event. Dubbed the GN-TB100, this tablet reportedly features a 10.1-inch IPS display with a 1,280 x 800 resolution, a Tegra 2 CPU, 3G support, an HDMI output, WiFi b/g/n / Bluetooth support, 1GB of RAM, and 32GB of internal storage. Specs are pretty good so far and the tablet even comes equipped with a 5MP camera on the back and a front-facing 1.3MP one.

At their booth, it was unfortunately running just Android 2.2 but hopefully they update it before launch day. The company is planning to ship this one in July of this year so we'll see how things turn out until then. I wish them luck.

MSI has just unveiled a tablet that we've all seen before and it's the WindPad 100A. This tablet will be launching with Android 3.0 "Honeycomb" which is different from when we heard the tablet would be launching with Android 2.2. The price hasn't been mentioned yet and it'll be packing a dual-core Tegra 2 CPU. Sadly, the model that was on display at CeBIT is running just Android 2.X so maybe we'll see a new model on display at a later date.

CeBIT 2011 starts later this week and new information regarding Asus Eee Pad MeMO has just leaked. jkk mobile has just leaked what you see above and it's the full spec sheet and what the 7-inch tablet will look like. Specs reportedly include a 1,024 x 600 resolution, a 1.2GHz Snapdragon CPU, 1GB of RAM, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR / WiFi b/g/n support, quadband HSPA+ connectivity, a microHDMI port, a 5MP camera with an LED flash, a front-facing 1.2 camera, a microSD card slot, and Android 3.0 "Honeycomb". The CPU inside is enough to output 1080p (Full HD) video at 30fps so that's excellent. Look out for this one to get official in the next few days.

Fujitsu has mentioned a bit more details regarding their Stylistic Q550, which is a weird name for a Windows 7 based tablet. Well, said tablet will be fully unveiled at CeBIT 2011 which takes place next month (March) and it'll be powered by an Intel "Oak Trail" Atom CPU which is good news if you're looking for a cheap tablet. Furthermore, it's going to be running Windows 7 Professional on its 10-inch LED display but I wonder if "Oak Trail" can handle that.

Other specs include a 32GB / 64GB SSD, dual cameras, a smartcard slot, a fingerprint reader, a USB port, an optional 3G module, and a battery life that will apparently last up to 8 hours. Expect the unveiling next month and you can check out the video below if you want to see more.

CeBIT is already over but this new notebook from Asus was spotted with only a couple of people noticing. I'm talking about the Asus PL30JT notebook which is intended for business use. Of course, if the price is right I'd be able to get one too - considering that I recently spilled hot chocolate all over my keyboard so some of the keys aren't working right now. Enough with my life, let's get to the specs shall we?

It's packing a 13.3-inch display with a 1,366 x 768 resolution, an Intel Core i5-520UM CPU, up to 8GB of RAM, up to a 640GB HDD, Nvidia GeForce 310M graphics, Optimus technology, and Asus' own Turbo33 technology "which promises to 'enhance performance by up to 33%.'" The price and release date hasn't been mentioned yet, but I'm actually looking forward to it.

Remember the Acer Aspire 1820PT that we saw hit some websites late last year? Acer showed it off at CeBIT and announced that it'll be launched for €599 ($820 USD). This notebook tablet features an 11.6-inch multitouch capacitive swiveling display (1,366 x 768), up to 8GB of RAM, Intel Core 2 Duo CPU options, a 320GB HDD, WiFi / Bluetooth support, 3G connectivity, an HDMI / Ehternet port, audio jacks, USB 2.0 ports, and Windows 7. When it launches in the US it'll likely launch for [around] $599 though since they get ripped off in Europe which really sucks.

Demoed at CeBIT is the Clevo X8100 which appears to be one of the most powerful notebooks to date. It features a monstrous 18.4-inch display with a Full HD (1,920 x 1,080 resolution), an Intel Core i7-920XM CPU, dual Nvidia GeForce GTX 285M graphics, and up to 8GB of DDR3 RAM. There's room in there for up to three hard-drives and the notebook itself has HDMI / DVI / VGA inputs, three USB 2.0 ports, FireWire, eSATA, gigabit Ethernet, audio jacks, ExpressCard, and WiFi / Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR. This notebook will start at $2,496.81 (here) and even features five integrated speakers with a 2MP webcam. It's pretty impressive but it's sure to burn a hole in your wallet.

At CeBIT, Asus wasn't afraid to show off a ton of notebooks, this post will be about their N Series including the N61J, N71J, and the N82J. They share similar specs so you'll find Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 CPUs, ATI Radeon HD 5730 / Nvidia GeForce GT 325M graphics, up to 8GB of RAM, optional Blu-ray, and up to a 640GB HDD. The N61J notebook features a 16-inch LED-backlit display with a 1,366 x 768 resolution, the N71J features a 17.3-inch LED-backlit display with a 1,600 x 900 resolution, and the N82J features a 14-inch LED-backlit display with a 1,366 x 768 resolution.

All of these notebooks use Altec Lansing speakers with SonicMaster "for quality sound" and they come with 6-cell batteries.

It should be no surprise that MSI and Asus have just shown off their 3D-ready all-in-one PCs at CeBIT. The Asus one will be a part of their Eee Top Series and the MSI will be a part of their Wind Top Series with a touchscreen display and Nvidia graphics - accompanied with a pair of glasses, of course. Check out the video at the link below.

Update: It looks like the video has been pulled, but hopefully they put it back up soon.

A new cheap handset from LG has just been spotted at CeBIT, it's the Cookie Fresh. This handset will be packing a 3-inch QVGA touchscreen display, a 2MP camera, an FM radio, a 3.5mm headphone jack, social integration, and the S-Class UI. The price should be inexpensive considering that this handset will be a part of their Cookie line-up.

Another handset has made a brief appearance at CeBIT as well. The LG GT400 seems to be another inexpensive handset that should be available in the Spring or Summer of this year. This one will be packing a 3-inch touchscreen display along with a 5MP camera and the S-Class UI

MSI has just shown off their first notebooks at CeBIT that will use the new Nvidia Optimus technology. There'll be two models right now, the 14-inch FX400 and the 15.6-inch FX600. Both of them will have GeForce 300M graphics cards and I'm actually liking the way they look. MSI has the tendency to use their boring old models over and over again so I'm actually loving this new look that they've come up with. Inside you'll find the Core i5 CPU and up to 4GB of RAM. The release details and pricing hasn't been mentioned yet, so you can just adore the pictures for now.
