Don't waste your time trying to figure out if Rydeen's new GCOM701 device is a bona fide slate or a Portable Navigation Device (PND), according to Rydeen, it qualifies as both.
On the tablet front, this 7-inch slate comes armed with an 800MHz Amrada 166 processor from Marvell, 2GB of DDR2 memory, and up to 32GB of external storage (microSD card slot). It also comes with 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB, and support for a whole host of picture, video, and audio formats all wrapped in Google's Android platform.
Rydeen says you can also use the GCOM701 as a PND "complete with 4 million Points of Interest (POIs), powered by Navteq.
Look for this one to ship sometime in November. No word yet on price.

Stealth Computers, which specializes in tough technology products, has released a new rugged, "vandal resistant" plank with a built-in trackball and adjustable backlit keys.
"The new KYBX-400 series keyboard compliments our existing rugged peripherals family of products with the introduction of adjustable illuminated keys and a precision trackball. The keyboard is encapsulated in durable stainless-steel providing an anti-corrosive protection that is ideally suited for dirty and wet environments", remarked Ed Boutilier, CEO of Stealth.com Inc.
Protruding out of the steel casing are 71 polymer keys that Stealth says offers silent tactile feedback, while the trackball sports an 800DPI sensor.
At $700, Stealth isn't marketing the KYBX-400 at home consumers, but for applications that include process control, public space, in-vehicle computing, interactive kiosks, and anywhere else a sturdy plank is needed.

The inescapable truth is that you can not escape talk of tablets and 3D these days. Not with the consumer electronics industry adamant that both of them will soon become de rigueur, if not the desiderata of everyday life. The ongoing IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin offers the blasé tech buff no respite either, with tablets and 3D dominating the event. That said, the Aiptek i2 (video) is probably a product that you might not want to overlook.
Currently being showcased at IFA 2010, the i2 is a pocket-sized 3D camcorder capable of capturing 3D video and stills. If you don't have a 3D TV at home, it is still possible to view the recorded video in 3D on a standard display using bundled software to re-encode it. Of course, you will still need red and blue 3D glasses for it to work.
The i2 features a 2.4-inch 3D display on the back and supports up to 32 GB of expandable storage. It doesn't cost an arm and a leg, but on the contrary, it is quite affordable - unless of course you treat the Indian government's $35 tablet as a benchmark for affordability and yourself as the personification of parsimony. You can make the i2 all yours for $200.
