Summer lies just around the corner, and I couldn’t be happier. While it does bring more tourists to the city, it also means lighter commutes, fewer people at the office, and of course sunshine and warmth. This all relates to summer travel plans.

We’d already gotten a good look at ASUS’ forthcoming Eee PC 1218 courtesy of the Red Dot design awards, and DigiTimes is now reporting one of its key details: that it will indeed be Ion-based (we’d presume Ion 2, but that still remains unclear). What’s more, the site has also offered some more confirmation of ASUS’ Eee PC 1015 / 1215, and says that ASUS will also be launching some new laptops on May 13th, including some bamboo-covered models and some “multimedia-enhanced models.” In other ASUS news, the site also has a few choice quotes from the always talkative ASUS CEO Jerry Shen , who repeated his assertion that netbooks will continue to outsell tablets, and further went on to get specific and say that ASUS expects to sell between seven and eight million Eee PCs in 2010, which would bring its global netbook market share to 20%. [Thanks, Sal] ASUS Eee PC 1218 said to be Ion-based, more laptops coming May 13th originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 04 May 2010 14:09:00 EST

The expected fourth-generation iPhone mobile phone could be presented publicly in early June at the Worldwide Developers Conference Apple, said the U.S. press. This conference, known as WWDC in its acronym in English, will be held in San Francisco between 7 and 11 June, Apple announced. During his last two editions, the technology group used this meeting to show the then-new iPhone3G, in June 2008 – and a year later the iPhone3GS.

If reading a stream of tweets seems a little flat to you, try UTweet , a fun service from clothing retailer Uniqlo . To create a movie based on your tweets, just enter your Twitter user name into the site, and it’ll generate a movie of your tweets and @replies. Or, just enter a subject, name, or place you’re interested in, and it’ll generate a movie based on that keyword. I’m not sure there’s a point to the site beyond sheer entertainment value, but it’s fun to see your animated tweets with an artsy version of your user photo pop onto the screen. It also throws in a few Uniqlo-clad models for good measure, breaking up the stream of tweets by singing the U-T theme song.

This year’s Mobile World Congress saw the formal debut of the “Wholesale Applications Community,” which at the time consisted of 24 mobile operators and device makers with the intention of creating a simple route to market for application developers, in addition to diminishing the fragmentation that exists when multiple sources begin developing their own mobile app strategies. Nearly three months later, the group collectively known as the “WAC” has already made significant headway in its cause

The last iPhone OS 4.0 beta was a bit of a wash what with the Camera app constantly crashing, the ability to take screencaps mysteriously vanishing and the code overall being buggy as hell, but we’re really hoping out hope that the newly released beta 3 will be a heck of a lot better.

Google Editions e-book service launching this summer
A representative for Google said today that the company plans to sell digital books beginning in late June or July .This announcement comes after over a year of discussion at Google over its vision to distribute electronic books. The new service, called Google Editions, will give customers access to digital copies of books through a book-search service, allowing access to a broad range of sites from multiple devices. Plus, it’ll allow book sellers to sell Google Editions on their own sites, with sellers taking most of the revenue. Pricing information and details of which publishers will participate in Google Editions have not been released, but if Google Editions takes off, it’ll surely be a threat to the ebook stores offered by Apple , Amazon , and Barnes & Noble .
