The Sharp M4000 WideNote is a worthy contender in the widescreen, lightweight notebook market, marred by the lack of an intended buyer. This Centrino-based notebook performs right up there with the best of them, and the screen is a pleasure to behold. The sleek, brushed aluminum exterior takes a page from the Apple Powerbook, but the faux chrome buttons come off as more tacky than classy. Overall, the M4000 WideNote should be a good example of how a company can take a highly standardized design and still make it stick out in a crowd, but the lack of customization and basic features sends this notebook to the bottom of the class.

The Qtek 9100 is a Windows Mobile 5.0 smartphone that is a wee bit smaller than the Palm Treo 650. Its sliding form factor holds a QWERTY style keyboard at the side of the phone. GearLive has a glowing review of the Qtek 9100 and has more than enough power to be used in both business and casual circles. Microsoft have outdone themselves this time with the OS, giving Windows Mobile-based products more leverage.

Korean manufacturer iubi has packed a solid 100GB of storage space into its new PMP2010 portable media player, along with a 4.3-inch widescreen LCD, Linux OS, and USB 2.0 connectivity. We’ll have to wait and see how this model stacks up against Archos’ 100GB monster, the AV500, but at only 175 grams and $400, the iubi certainly has a head start in several categories. This model plays back MPEG-4, DivX, and XviD files, along with MP3, WMA, and OGG tunes, and JPEG pictures.
