BlackBerry Slider undergoes further undercover inspection, side shots emerge
We’re still no closer to finding out whether this is the next iteration of the Bold, Storm or some other BlackBerry line, but the unofficially coined BlackBerry Slider continues to pique our interest. Here in the third round of spy shots, we’re seeing the elusive RIM-branded device from a few new angles, namely a round of side shots and a side-by-side with Curve 8900. You’ll notice that the new guys is a bit thicker and longer, and you’ll also see a complete lack of labeling beside the camera. There’s a fair chance that hitting that Source link will simply lead to increased frustration and stress in your life, but c’mon, anything to keep you from finishing up those 2009 taxes is worth a look.

Barbie slides into the cubicle, becomes a computer software engineer
It only took 126 career hops — the first one being a soulless teen model — for Barbie to land a job as a computer software engineer. All we know now is that she has a dual monitor setup and a picture of Ken at her cubicle. Oh, and she uses Linux on the world’s smallest netbook.

Garmin-Asus nuvifone M10 gets handled, reviewed in the wilds of Russia
We just heard about Garmin-Asus’ WinMo 6.5.3-packin’ M10 yesterday, and already the handset has been broken out for a photo shoot and hands-on review in Russia. The design itself isn’t anything otherworldly, but we have to say — we’re kind of digging the user interface. Granted, we’ve a soft spot in our hearts for Garmin’s nuvi line of PNDs, so anything remotely familiar gets a big thumbs-up ’round these parts. At any rate, critics noted that the phone was a pleasant mix of WinMo and nuvi, which is something that really sets it apart from other Windows Mobile-based offerings. There’s nary a mention of exactly how awesome this thing would be with Windows Mobile 7, but if you’re in no hurry to ponder the next big thing, give that source link a look.

Toshiba aims for living room domination with StorE TV media set-top box
You know who has yet to produce their very own connected set-top box? Believe us, it’s hard to formulate a correct answer here. Toshiba has somehow managed to stay far, far away from the STB bandwagon, but all that’s fixing to change in the year 2010. Electric Pig was able to toy with a pre-production version of the StorE TV, which is Tosh’s next-gen media center / streamer. It’ll eventually ship in 1TB, 1.5TB and 2TB flavors, with the whole lot playing back just about any type of local or networked media that you could think of. As predicted, 1080p playback is present, and it’ll accept files from UPnP devices on the network, external sources connected to the USB socket and even an SD card. Further details (including a price) are expected later in the year, though we’re told that it’s on track for a Q3 release over in the UK.

Hivision’s Android-based PWS700CA netbook gets video review, may sport sub-$100 price tag
Oh, Hivision — always up for making us chuckle. Just weeks after we spotted the outfit’s $149 netbook with a lackluster Cortex A9 processor, along comes this: the PWS700CA. Reportedly, the company is still scouting distributors in order to get this thing out to the masses, but if all goes well, it could be sold to end users for right around a Benjamin. What makes this one marginally interesting, though, is the fact that Android is on board; yeah, it’s not like Google’s mobile OS is really cut out for netbook use, but it sure beats the browsing experience found in Windows CE. The device you’re peering at above will eventually ship with a 600MHz ARM926 processor, 128MB of RAM, a 7-inch display (800 x 480 resolution), 720p video playback support, WiFi, Ethernet and the usual complement of ports. Hop on past the break for a look at how it fared in testing, and feel free to ping Hivision directly if you’re feeling all distributor-y.

Gateway’s DVD-playin’ EC14D netbook spotted in the wild
Gateway isn’t daring to call its ED14D a netbook — probably because of that built-in DVD optical drive — but there’s nothing outside of that to prove that it’s anything more. That said, it’s easily one of the most intriguing 11.6-inch machines out there, and while it’s not slated to ship for a few more days still, the crew over at Notebook Italia has managed to get their hands on one. Hit up the Source link if you’ve never seen a netbook with an optical drive before, and then hit this link while asking yourself where you were in January of 2009.
