Quite frankly, Teclast's
M25 was darn close to being solid, but it's pretty safe to say the M26 trumped it tenfold by ditching the scroll wheel in exchange for a few more millimeters of precious touchscreen. This admittedly sexy PMP features a 2.6-inch 400 x 240 resolution capacitive touch panel, support for RMVB, RM, FLV and AVI file formats, TV out and Microsoft's
PlayFX abilities, too. Judging by the interface shot, it'll also handle FM radio and a slew of music / photo formats, and while there's no definitive price just yet, you can look forward to choosing between black and white whenever it lands.

Details are a bit sparse, but according to CNET, in
the wake of this week's non-defeat in the
FCC spectrum auctions, Google is planning a press call to publicly discuss its intentions to continue lobbying the FCC to favor the pursuit of white space data transmissions. We know Google's all joined up with Microsoft, Intel, and a number of other triple-a companies in the white space coalition -- which intends to provide dynamic wireless access on shreds and scraps of unused radio spectrum, bringing the world a
step closer to the magical land of software defined radios -- but exactly what G will be announcing we won't find out until next week.

Our
week o' Dell scoops continues with what Dell calls its "mainstream" and "essential" series of Latitude E-series laptops. While the enterprise-ready, mainstream series packs just about everything (and more) that you could hope for in a balanced spec-for-size lappie, the essential series is only essential if you're on a tight budget and just can't live without the comparatively low-end chub. The 15.4-inch E6500 and 14.1-inch E6400 models will replace Dell's
D830 and D630 whereas the "essential" 15.4-inch E5500 and 14.1-inch E5400 carry on the low-end tradition of Dell's
D531 and D530. With any luck, these will be Dell's first Montevina / Centrino 2 class machines if they all hit the targeted June release date as planned. AMD fans will see the E5500a and E5400a configurations at about the same time. So what can you expect under the hood? Well, just look at the 5.1-pound E6500 which reads like a suit's, geek fantasy:
- UWB, Bluetooth 2.1, mobile broadband
- Integrated GPS, yes GPS
- New 84WHr slice batteries for "all day" computing
- LED backlighting, 1920 x 1200 pixel resolution, discrete nVIDIA graphics and DisplayPort out
- Hard, Hybrid, and Solid State disk drive options with eSATA jack for more
- Optional camera and mic
- Plenty of security options including contact-less smart cards and encrypted hard disks
Time to pad those budgets a bit, eh CIOs? Full low-down in the gallery below.
