 Happened upon the Taipei Game Show? No? Us neither, but Nicholas Khoo of 9eekonomics was, and we’re glad he made it. Spotted at the event was Gigabyte’s latest docking laptop, the M1405. On the go, there’s a 14-inch, 1366 x 768 resolution TFT LED, Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300, up to 4GB memory and 500GB storage, DVD, Windows 7, and graphics provided by an Intel GMA 4500MHD — attach that external GPU and you’ve got extra ports and GeForce GT220 with 1GB discrete memory. It’s got a 6-cell battery, but you can add an addition 3-cell if you don’t mind ditching the disc drive. No prices or release date, but expect an even grander unveil next month at CeBIT. More photos via the source link, video after the break.

Hutchison Austria to offer discounted iPad with 2-year contract for i-Mo 3G modemPosted by: in Rebots Coveting an iPad, but not willing to pay full price? If you happen to live in Austria and don’t mind committing to a two-year data contract, Hutchison’s got you covered. The carrier’s offering a 333 Euro (approximately US $455) discount if you sign up for a 29.90 Euro, 5GB monthly data contract. Sounds great, but frankly we still don’t know how much it’s gonna cost outside of the US — the foreign sites still list American prices, as far as we have the ability to tell. The other catch is that instead of offering the integrated 3G version, you’re getting a Huawei i-Mo 3G modem to create a personal WiFi cloud with the iPad. Elegant? Not really, but it’s still quite the deal (short-term, at any rate). No indication when Apple’s device will hit Austria, but we gotta imagine they wouldn’t set up such an offer without a short-term plan.

 Logitech’s Squeezebox Touch has had a somewhat troubled launch since being announced back in September alongside the Squeezebox Radio, and it looks like the road to availability just got a bit bumpier. While Logitech isn’t saying anything officially itself just yet, a Slim Devices developer has now posted on the official Squeezebox forums that we’re still looking at “a couple of months until release” — which is well off Logitech’s most recent promise of a February release date, and might even bump up against its future Android-based device.

 Send a Ball, the online store that lets you create personalized inflatable balls for any occasion, made its ABC Shark Tank debut tonight.

Took a sharpie, addressed it to my BFF Sharon, wrote “Have BALL with your new baby”, went to the post office and mailed it.” More information. Video after the break. Popularity: 1% [?]

DARPA-based Siri virtual assistant hits the App Store, smartphone sentience can’t be far behind (video)Posted by: in Rebots It’s been well over six months since we first got wind of Siri, the DARPA-inspired smartphone app that pledged to take all the hassle out of… well… life. It’s a virtual assistant that can take care of menial tasks, things like finding restaurants, hearing reviews, and even booking tables — all with your voice. Siri asks easy questions and reacts to your answers, and while it sadly seems to have lost some of its military feel since its DARPA days (bummer), it’s a lovely companion to your happening lifestyle. Plus it’s free, and free is good! Check out a demonstration video after the break, and hit up the App Store to make with the download. Meanwhile, if you’re on some other smartphone platform you’ll have to wait. We fully anticipate Siri will break free of its current monotasking abode sometime in the future, but we don’t know when. We just don’t know when. Gallery: Siri for iPhone
