BRUSSELS – Iran has invited several ambassadors accredited to the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna to tour its nuclear facilities, a senior European diplomat in Brussels told Reuters on Monday. The move comes just weeks before a second round of nuclear talks with Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United States, and could signal an effort by Tehran to show it…

January 4, 2011 No Comment
No surprises here — HP just updated a bunch of its consumer laptops here at CES, and the biggest change is that the Envy 17 and Pavilion dv6 and dv7 have been kicked over to Intel’s Sandy Bridge second-gen Core processors. In addition to the new chips, the Envy 17 is getting HP CoolSense cooling and switchable AMD Radeon 6850M graphics with support for Intel Wireless Display — pricing and availability haven’t been determined yet, but we wouldn’t expect it to be cheap. On the other hand, the dv6 and dv7 are mostly the same apart from the processor bump, and they’ll be $899 and $999 when they hit on January 9th. Oh, and the Mini 210 is getting two new pink plaid case lids, which is almost as cool as new processors. Right? Right. Look at those after the break.

January 4, 2011 No Comment
Looking for a Boxee Box equivalent that fits perhaps a bit more neatly into your existing home theater shelving system? Iomega TV with Boxee lacks D-Link’s style, but its more standard look’ll be easy to slide inconspicuously over your set-top box. It’s got the same UI, the same Intel CE4100 processor, and a similar two-sided remote with a QWERTY keyboard on the underside and a few more buttons up front (dedicated volume control, for example). It can also serve as a DLNA server / player, built-in 802.11n, and up to 2TB internal storage that acts as network storage / a personal cloud. The top-of-the-line’ll run you $349.99, with 1TB and 0TB (i.e. no internal storage) options available for $299.99 and $229.99, respectively. Those are due out in February — plenty of time for Netflix and VUDU to show their faces.

January 4, 2011 No Comment
In addition to Boxee-addled media devices and the customary run of new storage solutions, Iomega ‘s got its own take on the iPod dock to show off. The SuperHero can back up photos and contacts from your iPhone (3G model and up) and iPod touch (second-gen and up) to an SD card — no apps or music, unfortunately, due to restrictions in the API. The associated app pops up automatically when you slot in the device, and there’s a few options for fine-tuning what exactly gets saved. A smart idea, but it’d be nice if we had more output options like audio (for an elegant stereo solution) or USB (just in case you did have a computer handy, with or without iTunes). SuperHero’ll set you back $69.99 and comes bundled with a 4GB SDHC card, but more importantly, there’s an amusing video ad to see. It’s after the break.

We’re about to see an onslaught of AMD Fusion-powered 11.6-inch laptops, and HP’s newly revised Pavilion dm1 is among the first to be announced, along with the Lenovo X120e . The case has been substantially hotted-up from last year’s dm1, and inside you’re looking at a dual-core 1.6GHz Vision E-350 APU, which includes Radeon HD 6310M graphics that power an LED-backlit 1366 x 768 BrightView display. 3GB of memory comes standard with a max of 8GB, and there’s a 320GB drive and an SD card reader as well as 3 USB ports, HDMI and VGA out, and an Ethernet port. Best of all, it weighs in at 3.52 pounds with a six-cell 55WHr battery that’s promised to run for “up to 9 hours and 30 minutes.” That’s a lofty claim, and one we look forward to testing in the days ahead — along with just how much real-world performance that E-350 APU really provides for the dm1′s $449 MSRP. We’ll let you know — for now, check out some hands-on shots below.
