MSI, others to showcase Android-based netbooks at Computex?

It was at the 2008 Computex show in Taipei where we saw the coming-out party for Atom-based netbooks running XP. With any luck, Computex 2009, which begins June 2nd, will usher in the era of the Android-based netbook. That’s where the Economic Daily News claims MSI will “showcase” its Android-based netbook as MSI begins shopping reference designs around to the major PC vendors. Of course, HP, Dell, ASUS, Acer, and others have already been seen experimenting with Android netbooks. XP may be paranoid, but it’s no android.

Panasonic makes school runs more cinematic with its in-dash Blu-ray player

Finicky kids may have their opinions about which brand of peanut butter or sugar-crusted breakfast cereal they prefer, but surely every single one of them wants HD over SD for their in-car viewing experience. Panasonic’s giving them just that, a pair of dash-mountable devices that will finally let you toss those DVDs Disney’s been sneaking in with its Blu-ray releases. First is the CN-HX3000D Windows-powered device, with a 7-inch, 1280 x 720 display offering GPS, Bluetooth, a 40GB hard drive, and iPod/iPhone compatibility. Pair that with the CY-BB1000D in-car Blu-ray player (which, sadly, is not BD-Live compatible) and bam you’ve got all the high-def Chicken Little you can handle. Mind you all this will surely come with quite a price tag when it releases this fall, and while Panny isn’t willing to say just much, isn’t keeping your little videophiles happy worth any cost?

HP Firebird 802 gaming rig gets $500 price drop

Well, it’s only been available for a few short months but HP has already seen fit to give its flagship Firebird 802 gaming desktop a fairly sizable price drop — $500, to be specific. That includes a $150 cut to the $1,799 base price and a $350 instant rebate that brings the price down to a pretty darn reasonable $1,299, questionable keyboards aside. For those that haven’t been pricing gaming rigs lately, that’ll get you a Core 2 Quad 9400 processor, 4GB of RAM, a 500GB hard drive, and dual NVIDIA GeForce 9800S graphics cards (with 512MB of DDR3 memory on each card). Of course, any price drop of this size also invariably bring of the question “why?” and, in the case, the reasons are still a bit hazy. While HP discontinuing the line outright seems to almost certainly be out of the question, a slight revision does seem at least possible, if not necessarily imminent — although, any way you shake it, $500 off is $500 off, so we’re not complaining.

[Thanks, Ali]

How would you change HP’s Mini 1000 Mi?

Judging by recent PC shipment reports, HP’s had a pretty good run in Q1, and we fully suspect that a good chunk of those sales are in the netbook category. The outfit’s Mini 1000 Mi was highly anticipated and chock full of promise, though we’re not totally convinced the whole Mi interface lived up to the mile-high hype. So, now’s your chance to tell us — did it? Are you pleased with the software? Do you feel the user interface attracts or detracts? Could the hardware use a retooling? Are you totally looking forward to the 2000 Mi (or 1000 Mii, whatever HP settles on)? Feel free to blast our your really real opinions in comments below — we’ll be listening.
