The device on the right is the wireless SD card reader. It’s designed for the iPhone OS, but will work with other devices. It is very light, at 1.5 ounces, feels nice in the hand and supports up to 32GB SDHC cards. For wireless connection, it acts as a wireless access point, so avoids the iPhone dock connector licensing or bluetooth stacks. The Airstack is accessed by a browser and the UI design isn’t final. The only thing is that you lose internet connect when connected (because the airstack is acting as a wireless router, meaning the phone tries to use it for the internet, which it can’t.) No info on the price, or the release date yet.

Well well. Panasonic’s had their conference and have some pretty cool stuff. Do you see those SDXC cards on the right? That’s right, Panasonic is making some mad sized SD cards at up to 2TB. You could also be holding one by the end of year. Now, when will we have MicroSDXC cards this size?

Panasonic also released some new Lumix cameras, like this waterproof one:

Ok so it has been posting madness other the last few days. So this is going to be quick.

The Dell Slate and it's 5 inch display.

The Dell Slate has a very nice 5 inch display and has a SIM Card Slot, so includes a dialer. It’s also very thin, and has a removable battery (duh!)

Now Nydo have been selling Wii Remote alternatives for a little while. But now they are selling Wiimotes with built-in Wii MotionPlus. The remote will be available for $39.99 and will be available by March. The remote is a rubberized black and so are the buttons, that Engadget says are comfortable to the touch. The Nyko is also lighter than the Wiimote + Wii MotionPlus Combo!

The only thing is it isn’t the best looking device. But, Nintendo might be offering something similar soon, and if I need another Wii Remote for any reason, I’ll probably buy one from nintendo, providing I can find a way to use my charging station.

Palm has unveiled three main things at CES:

The Palm Pre Plus

The Palm Pre Plus is an updated model of the Palm Pre, and ships with double the internal memory, at 16GB. It also includes a touchstone charger as standard. It also doesn’t have a button under the touchscreen, which means it will act as a navigation slider bar. It’s also hitting Verizon Wireless on January 25th, however no prices yet. [Via Engadget]

The Palm Pixi Plus

The next announcement is the Palm Pixi Plus. The phone is similar to the old one, but has Wifi (finally!) and is on Verizon Wireless. [Via Engadget]

The Palm Mobile Hotspot App

Ok, so wired or bluetooth tethering is good, but it’s limited to one user. Palm just dropped us the Palm Mobile Hotspot. It allows five users to share a Wifi internet connections. So it’s a lot like a Mifi device from Sprint or Verizon Wireless or here in the UK, 3. Seems awesome! Makes me want one more than the previous one, well when it comes in the UK. [Via Engadget]

The Lenovo IdeaPad U1 Hybrid

So first we have the Lenovo IdeaPad U1 Hybrid. It’s an interesting concept. It is a laptop with a 11.6inch detachable multitouch screen. When attached to the main body, it’s powered by a CULV Intel Core 2 Duo processor and runs Windows 7 Home Premium. However, when you detach it from the main body, it turns into a Qualcomm Snapdragon powered-multitouch slate with a 16GB SSD that boots Lenovo’s customized Skylight Linux interface.
