There once was a time when screens were purely for viewing - not anymore. The rise of multi-touch technology has delivered far more intuitive and creative ways to interact with and manipulate content, so if it works for pocket-sized devices like the iPhone, why not a notebook?

Aimed specifically at those delivering presentations whilst out and about, AWIND’s MobiShow serves as what AWIND describe as a wireless access point allowing video and PowerPoint presentations to be streamed directly from a remote PC – thanks to AWIND’s mTVic platform - courtesy of a smartphone’s (iPhone or Windows Mobile device) Wi-Fi connection whilst the phone acts as a remote control for the ensuing presentations. Introduced by Richard Chen, program manager of Awind who states that ‘(The) MobiShow delivers more possibilities for mobile phone applications, and we believe people who travel around the world for business would love to have such an accessory in their pocket’ the AWIND MobiShow is capable of delivering presentations at 1024×768 resolution and can be connected to both TVs and projectors resulting in a highly mobile device that could see the wealth of business presentation gadgetry needed whilst out on location cut considerably. There’s no word concerning the AWIND MobiShow’s pricing or expected availability at the time of writing.

Gateway has acted to put some flesh on the bones concerning what’s on offer regarding their new MC Series notebooks which – namely the Gateway MC7801u and the MC9804h notebooks – both of which sport true 16:9 aspect ratio ‘Cinematic 16’ 16” Ultrabright displays (a first for Gateway) offering 1366×768 resolution TFT displays capable of delivering a 720p HD multimedia experience. Featuring an Intel Core 2 Duo T5800 2.0GHz CPU, the new base level MC Series notebooks feature 4096MB of 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM, a 320GB 5400rpm SATA HDD, integrated Intel 4500MHD graphics (which can be upgraded to ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 standard for an additional $50), a built-in 5-in-1 card reader, a 1.3 megapixel webcam, 56K fax/modem, 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet LAN and integrated Intel WiFi 5100 Link 802.11a/g/Draft-N and 8x Multi-Format Dual Layer DVD burner. Additionally you’re also looking at the Gateway MC Series offering four USB 2.0 ports, VGA and v1.3 HDMI video outputs and, of course, you also have what Gateway proudly refers to as ‘illuminated multimedia touch controls’. Expected to become available around the end of October, the base model Gateway MC Series notebook is expected to retail at around the $950 price point with various point of sale upgrades (as yet not wholly specified, but including the aforementioned ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 GPU) serving to push that figure up somewhat. Interestingly, however, at the time of writing the difference between the MC7801u and the MC9804h models is a little bemusing – appearing, certainly at this juncture, merely to relate to their respective US and Canadian availability.

On a day that seems to be dominated by netbook related news, it’s come to light that, according to a report by the Digitimes, MSI’s much anticipated new 3.5G Wind U120 netbook, which was expected this quarter, will actually begin shipping as of next month (November) with a retail price of around $552. Powered by an Intel Atom N270 CPU, the MSI Wind U120, as well as being supplied with a 3.5G module, comes with 1GB of RAM, a 120GB HDD and, as well as being preloaded with Win XP will be made available in white and black. MSI have also confirmed that they will not be producing a touchscreen version of the Wind netbook citing prohibitive costs though, interestingly, Digitimes reports that Asustek is planning a touchscreen version of its ever popular Eee PC for release sometime in ’09 (which could see MSI changing their minds in the fullness of time a bid to ensure it cuts into the new Eee PC’s market share).
