So battery life will be far better than products based on Qualcomm's Snapdragon or Intel's Atom chips, according to Nvidia." • "Five tablets were on display at the conference, including ones from FoxConn, MSI, NotionInk, Compal, and ICD – all working units with capacitive touchscreens (7 to 10 inches), no physical keyboards, some type of Linux interface (the NotionInk and ICD tablets were running Android), and running on the same Tegra platform.

The theme of this list is inexpensive and cool. So check out the links and enjoy. 1) Scott E-Vest Micro-Fleece Pullover -$60 These things are amazing, with 7 pockets and its own "personal network" system, any geek will die for one of these. You are able to run wiring from your zune or ipod directly through a channel sewn into the vest. Very cool. Scott E Vest 2) BLUE Microphones is a manufacturer of high-quality microphones, signal processors, and music accessories. The company is headquartered in Westlake, California, with most manufacturing taking place in Latvia. It was founded in 1995 by an American session musician and a Latvian recording engineer. The company's name is an acronym for Baltic Latvian Universal Electronics. Blue Microphones' products have won several awards in design. These include a line of distinctively-shaped spherical microphones, as well as several models which mimic the discrete circuitry of early microphones. Blue Microphones has recently started releasing consumer microphones. Such as the Snowball, The Snowflake, And Mikey the first High Definition microphone designed for use with Apple Inc.'s iPod Blue - Snowball USB Mic -$72 3) Cooler Master - Hyper 212 + For all you overclockers in the the family, cooler master makes one of the best air coolers available. The best thing about it, besides the fact that it looks bad-ass in your case providing exceptional cooling is the fact that its cheap! $28 bucks! Cooler Master - Hyper 212 + 4) Warhammer Online $30 This is a game that I played with friends for over 2 years. WHO is a mmo with an emphasis on PVP play. One of the cool things about it is that you can put it down very easily. Other games such as World of Warcraft require a serious time investment to get the most out of your character, whereas this game allows you to easily acquire gear without losing a spouse. Warhammer Online 5) Bucky-Balls That's right your read it correctly, balls-o-bucky. These things may not be the most technologically minded item on the list, but needless to say they are fun. If you are looking to get something for someone who has everything, chances are good they don't have little magnetic balls that can be formed into hundreds of different shapes. Some may say they are a waste of time, others that they can release a creative side you never knew you had. Bucky Balls 6) XGS Micro-controller Programming kit - $129.00 Ever wanted to learn programming? Than this is the kit for you. It allows you create video games and other cool little programs all by using a circuit board. Check it out. Programming kit
