It is clear that the Zone and Xbox 360 were sentenced to be understood. Both are products of Microsoft and both point to the same kind of consumer, so in one way or another had to happen.

The capture (enlarged) from Reuters was last Tuesday, when the PDC 2008 is showing that the first beta of the new operating system of Windows, called Windows 7. In the photo can be seen as a grip Asus EEA, I would say that EEA 1000 using Windows 7 operating system.

All this in a normal ultraportable with 1GB of RAM and a 1.6GHz Intel Atom.

The New Xbox experience is now launched by Microsoft. The much-hyped revamp of the Xbox 360 Dashboard and online LIVE service, labeled the ‘New Xbox Experience’ is picking up pace with the launch of a new site showing the major changes. One of the biggest changes will be players getting to create their own avatars, which we covered here and you can see the video of the simple and cool-looking process after the jump.

There are also simulation videos on the new site demonstrating other changes like Parties, an improved social networking side so you can jabber with friends using a ‘deeper level of interaction’, and extra community content. This new website has many beneficial features.

I like this new website Can’t wait for the ability to install games to the hard drive (good bye loud DVD player, hello faster load times) and the ability to have a private chat with several people at once sounds, oh so fantastic. Avatars, and an ugly UI, make me less excited, but whatever. Microsoft is doing with the new features in this update, except for the interface. This latest Xbox experience is Microsoft’s excellent working website that itself modeled on the new navigation method coming in the update — that’s filled with videos that do just that.

There’s also a new black Zune but, it is on the software and services side that Microsoft is resting its hopes for the player. It has a now playing feature.

The new Zune 3.0 software offers a new ‘Now Playing’ feature that throws up lots of interesting graphics and bio information on the artist, has support for audio books, a selection of pre-created ‘Channels’ covering lots of genres and, the software now learns what music you like and will chose tracks for you or suggest similar bands next time you enter the Marketplace. Prices run from $130 (£70) for the 4GB model to $230 (£120) for the new 120 GB device.-Martin Lynch. When you’re in a Wi-Fi hot spot, the song can be immediately downloaded [purchased] to the Zune. It also has monthly subscription of fifteen dollars that allows users to download music to their device or PC.

The price of the Xbox 360 continues to fall sharply after the collapse of prices in Japan nobody expected to happen in other countries do likewise, we are tanned in lower prices in Asia while in Europe / americas maintains the same prices.

But now Microsoft in EE. extremely low price of the lowest version of its video game console, Xbox 360 Arcade. The price will be only $ 199 (137 €), more than reasonable for a console with which you can still take advantage and that includes a 512MB memory.

In other words, an Xbox 360 about $ 50 cheaper than a Nintendo Wii. The market is tough for the Christmas shopping ladies and gentlemen. The question will be the usual drastic drop in prices in our country when?

MSI may be launching a new cool version of its MSI Wind U100, the ultraportable that so far he is doing very famous. This ultraportable gadgets you can find in the stores carries a 80GB memory, but it seems that the novelty in this version will change with a new 160GB hard drive.

I think what is most curious that the change of hard disk can be caused “because” of Microsoft, which bind to raise a minimum of 160GB hard drive you want to bring the laptop Windows XP with its license gizmos. This change may cause some to be a wave of new ultraportatiles other brands or at least updates for valid license from Microsoft.

MSI gadgets has a model with a 120GB unit, will disappear? Despite him despite an ultraportable today sold better with Windows XP, but had to be a good thing, forcing them to have more memory.
