ASUS’ original ExpressGate instant-on OS may be getting a little long in the tooth, but it looks like it’s finally due for a serious replacement. While it didn’t cause much fanfare at the time, ASUS was apparently showing off version 2.0 of the SlashTop-based OS at CeBIT earlier this month, and Notebook Italia has just now provided a quick hands-on video that gives us some idea of what’s in store.

If there’s one company that goes all out at CeBIT each year, its ASUS, as evidenced by the fact that we’re still catching up with new products from the company the week after CeBIT.

Sure NVIDIA’s Ion 2 is all the rage right now, but ASUS still has a few tricks left in store for the progenitor nettop GPU. The EeeBox EB1501U sports a typical nettop processor — in this case, the older Diamondville Intel Atom 330 dual core — with Ion One, and as an added bonus, there’s USB 3.0 support. Also under the hood

Some people have soft spots for puppies and panda bears; we have them for tiny laptops. Claiming to be the world’s smallest computer, USmart’s 4.8-inch MC-1 is about the size of a man’s wallet yet manages to pack the guts of a netbook. That’s right in that tiny little chassis is a 1.6GHz Intel Atom Z530 CPU, 1GB of RAM and 4GB of on-board storage.

We’d already heard that Archos’ Android-based phone tablet might be in trouble if the company wasn’t able to line up at least two carriers to support it, and it looks like that unfortunate end may have now come to pass. While Archos itself still isn’t saying anything, French daily Les Echos is reporting that the company has indeed shelved its plans for the phone, and is apparently returning its focus to its line of non-phone internet tablets . Of course, the phone does still exist, so there’s always a slight chance that it could make a comeback, but the word out of CeBIT seems to be painting a pretty grim picture

We’re not suggesting playing a 720p vid while at the wheel, but Mio’s Moov V780 — or “premium PND,” as they call it — sure is a jack of all trades. We spent sometime playing around with the 7-inch tablet at the company’s CeBIT press conference and came away surprisingly impressed with the entire experience. It’s tapered edges and smooth plastic back remind us a lot of the Dell Mini 5 , though Mio’s gone with a NVIDIA Tegra chip (we were told Tegra 2, but our friends at jkkmobile sneaked a peak at the device’s console and discovered it was apparnetly rocking the progenitor Tegra chip, at least on the show floor) and created a nice 3D user interface on top of Windows CE.

Well isn’t this the most unlikely partnership of the year. Apparently world famous designer and maker of watches/belts Pierre Cardin thought the tablet selection in the world was lacking, and teamed up with a small Taiwanese OEM to bring some touchscreen devices to market.

Why hello there, Acer. Not only does this K11 DLP pico projector look sexier than its predecessor , but it’s also been given some nice internal enhancements. Starting with display performance: the K11’s resolution remains about the same at 858 x 600, but it’s twice as bright at 200 lumens (while maintaining the same 20,000-hour lamp life) and has twice as much contrast ratio at 2,000:1
