Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftDellWindows 8
Touchscreen laptops and tablets with the upcoming Windows 8 OS will be priced higher than their non-touchscreen counterparts, Dell's CEO said on Tuesday.
Dell will offer a full complement of Windows 8 products when Microsoft launches its new OS, CEO Michael Dell said during the company's quarterly earnings call. The touchscreen Windows 8 products will occupy higher price bands, which could mean higher profit margins for Dell, he said.

Like UnlikeFiled in: MonitorsOperating SystemsMicrosoftWindows 8
If you're sitting in front of a computer all day long, it's not at all unlikely that you're working with multiple monitors. Microsoft announced that it's tweaked the multi-monitor support in Windows 8 to better take care of those of us that just can't work with a single display.
"From the very first public release and demonstrations of Windows 8 we have shown improvements over Windows 7 for multi-monitor scenarios and have shown how we support new Metro style apps within a multi-monitor environment," said Microsoft's Steven Sinofsky "We have continued to develop and refine features for multiple monitors and have significantly enhanced the experience as we move to our next milestone, the Rel....

AMD to Push Out Power Friendly Processors for Windows 8 Tablets
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsCPUTabletsMicrosoftAMDWindows 8
It hasn't been much of an ARM wrestle in the tablet space up to this point, and it's not because AMD and Intel haven't talked the talk. For the most part, they just haven't walked the walk, which has allowed ARM to dominate the category. That could change once Windows 8 comes into view in a few months, and if Microsoft's upcoming Metro infused OS proves popular on touchscreen tablets, you can expect a dogfight between AMD and Intel.

Intel Hopes New Batteries Can Reduce Ultrabook Cost
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksIntel
According to a report out of Taiwan, Intel is apparently looking at Sanyo's and BAK's 16650 cylindrical battery as well as prismatic lithium-ion batteries.
The cylindrical battery seems to be the device of choice due to its low cost, but its diameter of 16 mm makes it a challenge to be built into Ultrabooks, which, by Intel's definition, need to be less than 21 mm thick. A problem may also be that the market for these batteries is controlled by Sanyo and BAK and the supply is very limited. Prismatic are more expensive, but are only 5 to 6 mm thick, while using a greater footprint of 60 x 80 mm.

Foxconn to spend $210 million on a new plant dedicated to Apple
Like UnlikeFiled in: Foxconn
Apple’s iOS devices (the iPhone, the iPad, and the iPod touch) are selling at pretty ridiculous rates, and the growth isn’t slowing down either. If you look at the trends, iPhone shipment volumes grow 100% year over year every quarter. When it comes to the iPad, that figure is closer to 150%. How does Apple make all that stuff? Well, they don’t, they get Foxconn to do it for them, but you already knew that. What’s news is that Foxconn is going to blow around $210 million on a 430,000 square foot factory that’s dedicated to Apple products. Said factory will employ 35,800 employees. According to China Daily, this factory will output $1 billion of Apple products every 12 months. That sounds lik...

Engineer Guy shows how a phone accelerometer works, knows what's up and sideways (video)
Like UnlikeWe love finding out how things work, and arguably one of the most important parts of the smartphones and tablets we thrive on is the accelerometer gauging our device's orientation. Imagine our delight, then, when we see the University of Illinois' Bill Hammack (i.e. The Engineer Guy) giving a visual rundown of how accelerometers work. Although it's certainly the Cliff's Notes version of what's going on in your Android phone or iPhone, the video does a great job of explaining the basic concepts behind three-axis motion sensing and goes on to illustrate how MEMS chips boil the idea down to the silicon form that's needed for our mobile hardware. Hammack contends that it's one of the coolest (an...
