BenQ announces Joybook Lite U121 Eco to a nation in mourning
BenQ is back on the scene with another netbook, and against our better judgement we're going to let you in on the details. The Joybook Lite U121 Eco sports an Intel Atom Z520 / Z530 processor, an 11.6-inch WXGA (1366×768) display, 32GB SSD storage (or upgrade her to to a 500GB SATA hard disk), WiFi, optional 3.75G HSUPA, and a 6 cell battery that boasts a generous 8 hours of use. If you're in China, Taiwan, or Malaysia, keep an eye out for this thing sometimes this month. Ships with either Windows XP Home or Linux. Cramped hands and carpal tunnel included free of charge.
Huawei unveils U550, U121 handsets in Asia
It's been a tick since we've seen anything notable surface from Huawei (well, the real Huawei, anyway), but the handset manufacturer was back in action at CommunicAsia in Singapore. First up was the ultrathin U550 flip-phone, which purportedly supports HSDPA / UMTS / EDGE / GSM connectivity options, sports touch-sensitive buttons, and of course, provides a beautiful link to the 'net when your laptop can't sense a stray WiFi signal. The candybar-styled U121 device (seen after the jump) aims to be a more music-centric offering, and aside from the metallic design, built-in Bluetooth, and integrated media player, everything else looks fairly standard. No word from Asia on when this duo will storm store shelves, but it's usually not too long after gracing the showroom floor that citizens can snag their own.
