BMW's i3 and i8 prototypes caught chilling in the winter cold

BMW launched its new sub brand that’s called “I” few weeks ago, which will be the new stable of BMW for electric cars, and they also pledged two new electrifying cars coming either this year or next. But shortly after the announcement and the preview of BMW Vision ConnectedDrive Concept at Geneva Motor Show 2011, now the two new electric cars of BMW, the i3 and i8 has been spotted in the wild with the usual mule swirly vinyl splattered all over them. Both the i3 hatch (below) and i8 sportscar (above) were obviously doing some winter testing, and we’d say that the smile on the face of the passenger in the i8 is a good sign that the four-seater with 62MPG rating and a 0 – 62 time of 4.8 seconds will be fun to drive, though it still look abit awkward, and the i3 does look abit bulky and ugly.

HTC seeks EVO View 4G trademark, WiMax tablet coming?

HTC seeks EVO View 4G trademark, WiMax tablet coming?

It seemed that HTC has applied the trademark of “HTC EVO View 4G”, which looking back at some source directs to an EVO View tablet going to Sprint’s Now Network, and Sprint’s 4G network is WiMax, which means much like the EVO 4G, this tablet would be a WiMax tablet. If you’ve noticed, the EVO-branding only appears under Sprint’s stable. There’s a high possibility that this EVO View 4G tablet will be the same 1.5GHz 7-inch Android Gingerbread tablet that HTC shown to the world. In this case, the EVO View 4G will be the WiMax version and the Flyer might be the 4G LTE version.

64GB iPhone 4 ‘prototype’ spotted in the wild

64GB iPhone 4 ‘prototype’ spotted in the wild

To some 32GB is already overkill, but to a small number, it’s not enough for their music collection and game apps. Nevertheless all these while we only know of Apple’s iPhone 4 being 32GB the max. However, a supposed prototype leaded by a Foxconn worker appeared in the wild of Hong Kong. The back of the phone is designated “XXGB” while the FCC ID are similarly X’d out. There’s also a missing silver ring around the camera lens. Even the serial number is invalid in Apple’s system. Then again, the inner organs looked exactly like the real deal, as well as the iOS that it’s running. So, does this mean that at a certain point of time Apple did research on having 64GB in their iPhone 4. Will this capacity be offered in the next iPhone?

Asus reveals ET2700 all-in-one desktop, can be molest with 10 fingers

We’ve seen a huge number of All-in-One computers coming from a number of manufacturers, but they never really stand out. Well, they’ll probably outshine others if they have a decent spec, as the usual All-in-One quite always come with low specs. But now Asus has gone the extra mile to do better than its competitor. Here’s their new All-in-One ET2700, which sports new display panels with 178-degree vertical and horizontal viewing, SonicMaster audio, a very Mac-like design, and most importantly support for ten-finger multitouch. Details on price and specs shan’t be revealed for a few weeks, though you can have another few of it in the video below.

Plugable DC-125 dock lets your workstation become a real multi-user workstation

When you have a few users using a single computer for lightweight tasks, at times it’s more logical to have three or four users using a single workstation, because it’s more cost-efficient. Such technology does not exist a decade ago, but now we’ve come across a small number of them, like the DisplayLink Technology, and this new docking client from Plugable. Here’s Plugable DC-125 USB 3.0 Docking Client, and it’s a gem to some corporates.
