Chinese electronics giant Huawei officially introduces its Android -based tablet called the SmaKit S7. Early reviews deem it as similar to any other Android tablets, but some of its features deserve a second look. This tablet computer runs on Android 1.6 and has a 7-inch touchscreen panel with 800 x 480 resolution, 720p playback, 3G connectivity, HDMI out, two USB 2.0 ports, and two microSDHC slots.
Expect the Huawei SmaKit S7 to be available beginning this summer, but we are not sure where in the the world it will first appear.
After EA Sports introduces the Active, an exercise accessory for Nintendo Wii , the company now comes up with Active 2.0, which is said to work on Wii, PS3 , iPod Touch , and iPhone . The details are quite sketchy, but EA promises that the Active 2.0 program is set to “deliver true fitness results by featuring an innovative wireless control system.
Apart from the heart monitor, the Active 2.0 now comes with a new leg and arm straps with motion sensors, a heart rate monitor, and a new online hub to track and share the users’ workout data.

The lack of Flash and Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR) in iPad is Apple’s Achilles heel. And to add insult to injury, HP is showing off its upcoming tablet that features Flash and AIR.
In response to the iPad’s advertisement that was seen during this year’s Academy Awards, the Windows 7-based Slate was presented by playing full episodes of MTV’s “The City” and Flash games. It also shows how the Slate utilizes multi-touch pinch-to-zoom functions on its capacitive touchscreen display.
The Slate also has an enhanced desktop, adding a theme with large icons as well as letting users “star” their favorite shortcuts. It also has an additional menu bar on top of the screen and a floating keyboard that can be moved around the screen.
We still do not know about specifications, pricing, and release date of the Slate.
The United States Department of Homeland Security has revealed that the Energizer Duo USB charger has a loophole in its battery monitoring software for Windows, which leaves it susceptible from remote access that includes “the ability to list directories, send and receive files, and execute programs.”
If you have bought an Energizer Duo as is, your computer would not be in trouble. The problem, however, lies once you have downloaded the battery monitoring software for Windows. Owners of the Duo for Mac need not worry.
To remove the Trojan, you need to uninstall the software first, which would remove the Windows registry value that executes the Trojan. Restart your computer, then go to the System32 directory and delete the file named “arucer.dll.” You can also use a firewall to block access to 7777/tcp.
