Motorola has officially announced the Droid, the company’s top-end Android-powered smartphone. Featuring a 3.7-inch capacitive touchscreen and a slide-out keyboard, the Droid will be offered through Verizon to compete with the iPhone—with the webpage’s concept basically saying “everything the iPhone doesn’t do, the Droid does”.
Lenovo now offers new configurations for their IdeaPad S12 netbooks that comes with Nvidia’s ION graphics. The 12-inch S12 previously came with the usual Intel Atom platform (Intel’s Atom CPU and GMA950 integrated graphics) plus 1GB of memory, but the new configurations give the netbook a bit more multimedia punch.
China-based electronics manufacturer i.Tech has announced a solar-powered Bluetooth headset. Tagged as the SolarVoice 908, the headset’s outer surface is lined with a solar panel, allowing it to charge the internal battery while the headset is worn. The battery’s rated for five hours of talk time and a 140-hour standby. Of course, it can also be charged using a more conventional USB connection, sparing users from having to keep it plugged into an ear to charge.
It’s now shipping in China for the equivalent of $67.
