Camangi WebStation: 7 Inches of Android Tablet for $400

The Camangi WebStation has been floating around for a few months now in little more than proof of concept form. Now, it’s on the cusp of being a real product, released next month for $400.

The system runs Android 1.5 through its 7-Inch (800×480) glass touchscreen display, plus you get Wi-Fi (b/g), GPS , microSD reader, 2MP camera, .3MP webcam and a USB port that can always add 3G (though, the whole idea becomes sort of silly at that point).

Plus, a built-in stand on the back means it can double as a picture frame. Yes!!

My only concern is the bit of lag you notice in this video. If the final production models have that issue ironed out, this could be an attractive little tablet.

Samsung unleashes two Diva-branded phones

Samsung’s been showing off two new handsets of late. The S5150 Olivia is a clamshell affair with a mirrored body, an external LED, and we know that it will boast a 3 megapixel camera and a 2.2-inch QVGA display. The other – the S7070 – is an iPhone-esque job, with a crazy diamond-shaped button at the bottom, and a quilted-style back cover, with a 3-inch WQVGA display with resistive touchscreen, Bluetooth, and microSD slot. Samsung hasn’t formally announced these ladies yet, but they are expected in the first quarter of 2010. One more photo after the break.

Kohjinsha PA series gets unboxed, looks kind of hardcore

It’s sort of difficult for us to say what exactly the Kohjinsha PA is. Part UMPC, part MID and part tablet PC, this mishmash has captivated us for quite some time, and while we were able to spend a few brief moments with it at CEATEC, the crew over at Pocketables was able to snag a shipping unit to unbox. They begin by noting that this thing is far from stylish, and while the hinge is almost laughably large, there’s something subtly satisfying about just how chunky it looks. Hit the read link to see if you agree — it’s cool if you don’t, you’re only hurting feelings.

Samsung SyncMaster P2770HD has built-in TV tuner, sex appeal

Remember the Samsung P2370HD monitor? Well, this is it at 27 inches. How’s that for concision? Oh, you want more — well, Samsung must’ve expected you to, because it’s also added a TV tuner and a HDMI input to its latest Full HD display, to go along with a 5ms response time and a 50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. There’s also a pair of 3 watt stereo speakers that can simulate 5.1 channel sound — good for emergencies or if you just can’t stand speakers cluttering up your desktop. Filling out the goodie bag are Picture In Picture and Picture By Picture modes, which should make good use of the extra real estate on the screen by combining, for example, your desktop with a TV source. The price is set at 549,000 Won (or about $473) for Korea, though global availability looks imminent so don’t rush to import it just yet.

Project Natal launching in November 2010, priced for ‘impulse buy’?

A supposed leak from closed-door Microsoft meetings in the UK has made its way to MCV, who has all sorts of new details on Project Natal’s launch next year. Rumor is that the device will be released worldwide in November 2010 (we’ve heard “late next year” before), with 5 million camera units ready for day one, included in solo and console-bundled SKUs. Word varies on the price, with some saying “under £50″ (about $84 USD), while others say as low as £30, about $50 USD. Apparently Microsoft is aiming for “impulse buy” territory, and it makes sense to subsidize the unit and make that money back in games sales, like a regular console launch (which Microsoft sort of sees it as, in many ways). There are supposed to be 14 games readied for launch, but no specifics on which developers that’ve signed up for Natal work will be among those on launch day. It all sounds about right, though we of course won’t know for sure until Microsoft goes into tell-all mode, which we expect will be a decent ways down the road if they can’t even confirm a silly WiFi adapter for the holidays without months of hand-wringing.
