Coming from zol.com.cn is the image you see above. It's likely Acer's next Windows Phone 7 device, called the W4 for now. Specs for this one are reportedly a 3.6-inch WVGA display, a 5MP AF camera, WiFi / Bluetooth support, a 1GHz CPU, DLNA, 8GB of storage, and the "Mango" version of the OS. Right now it's unknown when this one will be available but the handset does have support for HSPA 850/1900, GSM 900/2100, and quad-band 850/900/1800/1900Mhz.

At Computex, Asus has reconfirmed that their Eee Pad MeMO and they've made one last improvement before its launch later this year. The 7-inch tablet will now feature a glasses-free 3D IPS display which is comething that you might want to keep in mind. The Android tablet's price is still unknown right now but if the price is right then you may want to consider picking it up - if you're into the 3D hype.

Computex is officially under away and MSI has just announced their first batch of tablets, the WindPad 110W and 100A. Obviously, the letter indicates the OS so the former is going to be running Windows 7 while the latter runs Android - likely "Honeycomb". Both tablets feature a 10.1-inch 1,280 x 800 IPS display along with WiFi b/g/n support.

The 110W features an AMD Brazos CPU, Radeon HD 6250 graphics, 2GB of RAM, up to a 64GB SSD, and up to 6 hours of battery life. The 100A, on the other hand, features an ARM Cortex A9 CPU (likely Tegra 2), 1GB of RAM, an HDMI output, up to 32GB of storage, an SD card reader, a USB port, and up to 8 hours of battery life. Launch details are unknown right now.

Asus started things off quick at Computex by unveiling two notebooks right away. The UX21 and Eee PC X101 has just been caught on display. The former is an ultraportable packing up to a Core i7 CPU, USB 3.0, a glass trackpad, metal keys, a 17mm thin aluminum body. The notebook itself is targeted for a September launch, the price is unknown right now. It looks quite sexy.

The other notebook is the Eee PC X101 which is a netbook. Not much is known about it right now but it's actually capable of running Windows 7 and even the MeeGo OS! It lives! Launch details for this one are unknown right now but maybe we'll find out about that shortly.

It'll all get official very soon, at Computex, but PocketNow has just picked up new photos of the Asus Padfone which pretty much tells us how it'll function. So, the top part of the back of the tablet will house the smartphone and the rear-facing camera will use the Asus smartphone since it has a hole for it - it has a front-facing camera as well. The biggest unknown about this device is what version of Android it'll be running. It might be running just "Gingerbread" but maybe it'll be launched in a few months with "Ice Cream Sandwich" which would be impressive. Save your questions because it should be official very soon!

Engadget has managed to get a few images of what Asus will be unveiling at Computex in a few days. There's a theory going around that they could be prepping a tablet with a dockable smartphone which is actually pretty interesting. It's similar to Motorola with the Atrix but it won't be a keyboard dock, it'll be a tablet dock. Make sense? Of course, this is all unconfirmed right now and it could just be a 3D smartphone or tablet. We'll really just have to wait and see.

Update: PocketNow has just pointed out that a possible name for this dockable tablet has been spotted at the USPTO and it's "Padfone". Kind of weird but we'll just have to wait and see what happens next week.

We've seen it at CES and Asus has just confirmed that the Eee Pad Slider will make an appearance at Computex in a few days. That's pretty great news for Android "Honeycomb" tablet fans. It features a 10.1-inch IPS display (1,280 x 800 resolution), 16GB / 32GB of storage, 1GB of RAM, USB / HDMI ports, a microSD card slot, Tegra 2, and the aforementioned OS.

Asus has shown off another netbook at Computex, this time it's the Eee PC 1015T. This netbook features a 10.1-inch display with a 1,024 x 600 resolution, an AMD V105 CPU, ATI Radeon HD 4200 graphics, up to 4GB of DDR3 RAM, 250GB / 320GB / 500GB HDD options, WiFi b/g/n, optional Bluetooth 3.0, a 6-cell battery, and Windows 7. Engadget points out that this netbook was likely rushed out since the HDD was wiped out. Oh well.

Last week we heard about the 6-inch Acer LumiRead and it has just shown up at Computex. Dubbed the LumiRead L600, this e-book reader sports a 6-inch e-ink display with a 600 x 800 resolution, a joystick, a QWERTY keyboard, a 532MHz Freescale iMX357 CPU, 128MB of RAM, and an ISBP bar scanner. This reader isn't expected to be available until Q3 of this year, which starts next month. The price is still unknown.

Innocomm showed off something pretty interesting at Computex last week. This is being called the Shark, and it features Android 2.1 - not Froyo. The most interesting part about this smartphone is that it has 3.5G connectivity along with an analog TV tuner - with access to Telegent's mobile TV. Other specs include a 3.2-inch WVGA (480 x 800 resolution) touchscreen display, an 8MP camera, and WiFi support. Apparently, this handset is going to be shipping worldwide in a couple of weeks, but the model with the digital receiver isn't expected until later on.

In early April we heard about the Acer Aspire Ethos 5943G and the 8943G notebooks. Well, Acer has been nice enough to display both of these notebooks at Computex and Engadget was good enough to approach them and try it out for us. Both models featured an Intel Core i7-720QM CPU, Blu-ray drives, an 8-cell battery, and the awesome trackpads. Engadget points out that the black dual-mode trackpad - "it's a standard touchpad until you press the circular button between the buttons, after which is turns into the system's multimedia controls.

The 15.6-inch 5943G notebook features 4GB of DDR3 RAM and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 graphics, while the 18.4-inch 8943G notebook features 8GB of DDR3 RAM along with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5850 graphics. Both notebooks should be available fairly soon (in the UK, at least) and you might want to save up a little bit of money for either of them.

Here's yet another tablet from Asus, dubbed the EPad. This is another 10-inch tablet with Windows 7 so it's essentially a netbook without a keyboard. The specs are still unknown, so you can just check out the video below if you want. Not even the Atom CPU inside is known right now, so you'll have to wait a bit longer for that.

HP has just shown off a new Classmate PC at Computex. This new PC features a 10.1-inch display, a plastic body with the SUSE Linux 11 OS. Of course, this is going to be Intel Atom-powered and it also has VGA / two USB ports, a 4-in-1 memory card reader, audio jacks, and a front-facing webcam. Not much else is known about these upcoming Classmate PCs so we'll just have to wait around for RAM and internal storage.

It looks like all the craze at Computex isn't amazingly thin laptops and prototype tablets. Acer, for the first time, has just revealed their beTouch E130 handset. This is sporting a 2.6-inch QVGA touchscreen display, a QWERTY keyboard, an optical trackpad, WiFi support, 512MB of ROM, a microSD card slot, 256MB of RAM, a 3.2MP camera, an ST Ericsson 416MHz CPU, 3G connectivity, and Android. It was running Android 1.6 when it was on display but it could be getting an upgrade to either version 2.1 or 2.2 before it launches. The price and release date, of course, weren't mentioned.

At Computex, this pretty interesting tablet from DigiLife was spotted. It's being called the iOne and it's a 10-inch tablet with a capacitive touchscreen display and the Android OS. The most interesting part about this tablet is that it features an integrated VGA pico-projector. It's just a prototype right now and inside you'll find a Samsung Cortex A8 CPU. There are actually two microSD card slots on this tablet which is another great thing. The price isn't mentioned yet but this model right here could cost around $300 - the release date hasn't been mentioned yet. There's a video below so you'll have to scroll down past the picture.

Dubbed the Lattice, Innoversal has unveiled this 10.1-inch prototype tablet. It's sporting a Pixel Qi display that has a 1,024 x 600 resolution. Inside of this tablet you'll find an Intel Atom 1.66GHz CPU, 16GB to 64GB of internal (SSD) storage, an SDHC card slot, WiFi / Bluetooth support, 3G connectivity, an 8MP camera, a miniUSB port, Windows / Linux / Chrome OS options, and a 6-cell battery. The most shocking part about this tablet is that it features an 8MP camera, which surprised me. I think they should've traded in that 8MP sensor for a 5MP sensor and then they should've added a front-facing webcam. Of course, everything's subject to change since this is just a prototype.

Update: Engadget has mentioned that "if all goes well" the 16GB model with 3G and WiFi support could launch globally this September for somewhere between $530 and $550. Check out their website for some short hands-on footage as well.

We heard about the Huawei S7 a couple of weeks ago and it decided to make an appearance at Computex. We already know that this tablet is rocking a 7-inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen display, phone functionalities, 720p HD video playback support, WiFi / Bluetooth support, and Android 2.1. It's going to be powered by a Snapdragon CPU - likely the 1GHz single-core model. We don't know the targeted price or the release date right now so we're still going to have to sit tight for that.

Update: According to Engadget, the S7 definitely features the Qualcomm 1GHz MSM8250 Snapdragon CPU. Other specs include a 3.5mm headphone jack and a microSD card slot. Check out their website for a short video.

The MID you see above is from Inventec and it's being called the Dr. Eye. It's sporting the Android OS and a small and cramped keyboard that looks like it'll be pretty hard to type on unless you're under 8 years old - or use your thumbs only. This MID has a form-factor of a laptop but it's just really small. It's sporting a 4.8-inch VGA touchscreen display, 3G / WiFi support, a front-facing webcam, a Marvell PXA310 624MHz CPU, and version 1.6. We don't know when it will be available but they said "pretty soon" and it'll be priced at around $400. These have hit the black market somewhere in Asia already so if you're really dying to scoop one up you know where to go.

It was rumoured that the Asus Eee PC 1215N netbook would be running a dual-core Intel Atom N500 (1.5GHz) CPU and was set for a July release. Well, the netbook was spotted at Computex and that's not what was found inside. Instead, it was featuring a dual-core Intel Atom D525 1.8GHz CPU so it's slightly faster. However, I don't believe this CPU has support for DDR3 RAM, so that's a slight let down. The rest of the spec sheet is below, courtesy of Netbooked. They also claimed that this netbook had a large trackpad, a "solid" chiclet keyboard, a glossy display, a matte palm rest, and a matte lid. There's a video below if you're that interested.

ASUS Eee PC 1215N

• 12.1” 1366 x 768 display (glossy)
• Intel Atom D525 (1.8GHz, dual core)
• Next generation ION graphics
• 1 / 2GB DDR2 RAM (2 slots)
• 250 / 320GB HDD

Hardkernel has just unveiled another glimpse of their upcoming ODROID-T, the "T" stands for tablet. Of course, it'll be running Android and it'll reportedly have 1080p capabilities thanks to the HDMI port. It also features a 10-inch touchscreen display along with a Samsung PC 110 chipset (based on the ARM Cortex A8 CPU). The playback in the video looked pretty smooth, but they still have some tweaking to do with the UI.
