ASUS has finally revealed what lies beneath that shiny Lamborghini-branded VX1 exterior — announced earlier this year. A 2-GHz Intel Core Duo T2500 processor, 1GB of 667MHz DDR2 memory, 120GB hard drive, dual-layer DVD±R/RW drive, and an NVIDIA GeForce Go 7400 256MB graphics card. The 15-inch 1440 x 1050 display is also a nice feature. ASUS will begin shipping the limited edition VX1 later this month, prices start at $4,700.

And here it is, everyone, iRiver‘s hot new hard drive-based E10 portable audio player. Unfortunately it doesn’t have Bluetooth / A2DP as we might have hoped, but it does have a 1.5-inch color display, video playback, FM tuner, IR blaster (apparently it can be used as a remote), a 32 hour battery (yeah, that doesn’t sound quite right), and a 3.7 x 1.7 x 0.55-inch footprint. (Our previous report also had it pinned with six gigs of storage.) MisticRiver quotes the price — and the mentioned specs — at about $240 US, but we’ll all have to sit tight while we wait for US launch plans and a proper formal announcement.

Since Sony, et al.’s hammered out the Blu-ray Disc spec, there’s been speculation, theorization, and discussion of an 8-layer 200GB disc. Sony even supposedly had some working 200GB BRD demos way back in 2004. Well, now those mammoth coasters are in the works over at TDK, who apparently hope to commercialize the first presumably quad-layered dual-sided discs (or possibly octo-layered single-sided discs — yeah, right). They’re not giving it up as to when these discs could come out or how much they’ll cost, but right now we’re more worried about just getting our hands on some players, you know?

It’s hard feel sorry for a reviewer who had to spend a few hours seated at a three monitor setup trying to gauge how “immersed” he felt in his favorite FPS titles, but we’ve gotta give the intrepid Wil Harris some props for pulling himself away from F.E.A.R. long enough to write up a review of the Matrox Triplehead2Go. Sounds like the device does work as advertised. Meaning, it splits a VGA connection into three VGA connections and tells your computer it’s hooked up to one big 3840 x 1024 display. All the software seems to work fine for the various desktop configurations, and while there aren’t too many games that can handle 3840 x 1024 out of the box, the included software can help get most common games up and running, and can even be extended by users to cover other titles. As for gaming, the setup comes highly recommended if you’ve got the graphics power to handle the added resolution. For productivity, the analog connections and further signal degradation due to three-way splitting makes the Triplehead2Go not be such a hot choice. So hold out for DVI if you must, or throw down your $300 (plus a few LCDs), jump in and get fragging.

We’ve seen the official price for the TabletKiosk eo ($900). Now another UMPC has gotten its first official price, and it’s an even further cry from the original “about $500” price point once expected for these devices. The Korean version of the Samsung Q1, expected to go on sale next month, will go for close to W2 million, or roughly $2,000. Sure, the Korean version comes bundled with a DMB TV receiver, USB keyboard, auto adapter and other accessories, but considering that just about every phone, PMP or electric toothbrush sold in Korea seems to include DMB, and you can get a full-fledged tablet PC for well under $2,000, we really have to wonder who Samsung’s targeting with this (other than, of course, the usual coterie of fans who will pick up anything promoted by a team of spokesmodels).
