Dell Mini 5 Streak:

Viliv X70 Series MID headed to the US, starting at $599:

Featuring a 7-inch WSVGA screen (that's more than 2 inches larger than the S5), the X70 also includes an Atom 1.2/1.3GHz processor, 16/32GB SSD, optional HSPA, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Sirf Star3 GPS, 5-second XP booting and 5.5 rated hours of video playback. And yet the X70 measures less than an inch thick and but 1.4lbs in its anti-heaviness.




Viliv S10 Blade:

The Viliv S10 Blade is a 10 inch netbook that can function as a tablet thanks to a multitouch display and a hinge that lets you fold the screen down over the keyboard.

* Windows 7
* Multitasking
* Flash support
* Unlocked 3G modem
* Webcam
* 2 USB ports
* SD card slot
* Video out



HP Slate:

Microsoft hosted the presentation of the HP Slate PC or HP Slate Tablet because it is equipped with the Windows 7. Microsoft actually presented three tablets or slates but the HP Slate PC was emphasized. The HP Slate is the smallest among the three slates or tablet PCs.

The HP Slate PC with Windows 7 will be available later this 2010.

Joo Joo:

The JooJoo tablet features a 12.1-inch touchscreen (the “largest in the industry,” according to its makers), Wi-Fi, and a 4GB Solid State Drive. It also has a USB 2.0 port, a Webcam and built-in mic, and a complete Adobe Flash support (as well as HD Flash).It uses the Internet platform (the 4GB SSD is to store cache and the operating system), and doesn’t come with apps( a similarity with the iPad). A major disadvantage of this product is that its use gets extremely confined without Internet access, and it doesn’t support 3G connectivity.
 
Quote from stock piker:

Short more at 226.73. Avg short of 224.86. Shares drop on ipad rollout on apple store.

Closed at 222.55 for a 2.31 gainer, and bought back my calls for a gain of 1.20.

BREAKING

Apple sells 100s of thousands pre-order iPads: WSJ
 
Quote from SCI new york:

Maybe.
They were some selling patterns in the past days.
I see some 10 to 30 points to the downside.
Longs could add fuel to the momentum now.

Oscillators are bearish, too.
On the other side this trading range might as well continue.

I've been in on puts for a few days, finally starting to move. I'd like to see between 215-200 and sales numbers for the iPad before I get bullish on aapl
