The FIC manufactured Everex CloudBook has finally made its way to Japan. What’s interesting is not its US-rooted Everex branding but the fact that the ultra-portable picked up a 7-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, and 802.11a (to augment the existing b/g WiFi) along the way without any change to the CE1200J model number. All the other specs remain true to the original right on down to the 1.2GHz VIA C7-M proc and 30GB hard disk. We’d chalk this up to a typo(s) if it wasn’t for the new, tax-inclusive price of ¥59,800 or about $600 — a stiff bump from the $399 touchscreen-less, Stateside model. Let’s see if the March 22nd release in Japan brings the additional options for North America and Europe.

It may not be out quite yet, but thanks to some cloak and dagger device-getting NVIDIA’s GeForce 9800 GX2 has gotten its first round of early tests. Sounds like it’s got a few premature driver issues, but it’s still a contender. If your interests lie in the world of high res framerates, check it out.

Looks like the folks who got a shot of Samsung’s forthcoming YP-S2 also got a preview of the YP-S3, a mid-range flash-based player due in June with 2, 4, and 8GB capacities and 1.8-inch screen. The video’s after the break for those itching to check it out.

Today’s Wii homebrew hotness comes by way of Team Twiizers, whose new hack takes last week’s GameCube-free loader and enables custom channel icons that load hacked apps just like that. Getting from point A to point B still isn’t a cakewalk yet, though; you still have to load the Zelda / Twilight hack and use it to reboot your Wii to get that app into the channel space. Video after the break, which quickly demonstrates getting a custom app-launching channel (which in this example happens to use the Mii channel icon).

We might like it more if Behavior Tech Computer Corp. were in the business of creating devices to assist in BF Skinner inspired experiments, but instead they’ve just got stuff like this 9051H Cheetah keyboard / mouse combo. The board has that righty-oriented FPS key cluster, backlit keys that change color according to typing speed, comes bundled with that generic looking laser mouse with variable DPI (800, 1300, and 2000) and two programmable buttons. Sorry folks, no listed price or availability.

MacRumors is reporting that a long overdue 802.11n version of the Airport Express should be landing soon, possibly as early as this Tuesday. Apparently it’ll run for the same $99, so keep an eye out for Apple Store downtime in a couple days.

The Japanese are hyping Vista SP1’s impending release, but a roll of toilet paper printed with highlighted features is kind of uncalled for. You kind of have to feel a little bad for Vista — it just keeps getting crapped on these days.
