If you work full time from a notebook computer, you have to make a few concessions for portability. That’s doesn’t mean that you can’t work comfortably though so many notebook users end up looking for a better external keyboard, speakers, and a mouse to make things easier. Many notebook users also get notebook risers to elevate the screen of their notebook to more comfortable levels. SMK has announced a new device that does most everything a notebook user wants with one gadget. The Notebook USB Audio Station (PDF) raises the screen of the notebook 26-degrees for visibility.

It was only a matter of time before AdMob and others in the mobile advertising game responded to Apple’s updated developer terms which effectively prohibit app developers from using third-parties such as AdMob and Google’s advertising solutions on the iPhone. The new terms have left many in the industry scratching their head as to why Apple would make such a blatant anti-competitive move, and the responses are starting to come forward.

MYSTERY SURROUNDS the 24 June launch of the Iphone 4 in the UK and T-Mobile’s announcement that it will offer Apple’s latest shiny toy fails to dispel it. O2, Orange and Vodafone have announced they will offer the smaller version of the Ipad with mobile phone functions from 24 June but have not given any contract details despite the big date being but 15 days away. And T-Mobile has simply said in a statement that details of prices and tariffs will be announced “in due course”. Clearly the hard sell approach. “T-Mobile UK will launch iPhone 4…in the coming weeks,” the company said with much enthusiasm.

If you’re into DIY in NYC, I wouldn’t miss Flux Thursday tomorrow: Flux Thursday is a monthly dinner, potluck and salon held at Flux Factory, your and my favorite artist collective in Queens, NYC. The June 2010 installment is kind of special, because it will also include an awards ceremony for Flux’s current exhibition, The Science Fair, which features interactive experiments and presentation booths by artist-scientists and scientist-artists. Participants include Robin Brehm, Daupo, Lisa Glauer & Kaethe Wenzel, Fred Forest, Samwell Freeman, Hope Ginsburg & Colablablab, Kate Hartman, Jay Henderson, Jaime Iglehart, Scott Kildall, Rafael Hidalgo Múgica, Julia Oldham, James Rouvelle & Lili Maya, SP Weather Station and Daniel Robie, Chad Stayrook, Studio AND, Flint Weisser, Elizabeth Whalley, Daniel Schludi, and Jing Yu. And that’s not all! The evening will also include two special salon presentations: Scientists Are The New Rock Stars, a performance by Scott Bieben; and The World’s Longest DIY Slideshow, a roller coaster presentation of over 300 images by Nick Normal from his recent trip to the Bay Area for Maker Faire – which is coming to NYC later this year, so Nick’s slideshow will serve to both answer questions about how the Faire operates, and also to catalyze Makers in NY with inspiration!

Panasonic have outed their latest rugged notebook , the Toughbook F9, a 14-inch machine that weighs a mere 3.6 pounds; that makes it the industry’s lightest 14-inch notebook, despite the extra-sturdy build.  Based around a 2.4GHz Intel Core i5-520M processor with a 320GB hard-drive and optional Qualcomm Gobi WWAN, the F9 boasts up to seven hours runtime. That’s impressive, considering the Toughbook F9 can withstand a drop of 30-inches – about the height of your desk – while turned on and without losing data.  There’s also a spill-resistant keyboard, and the casing is made of sturdy magnesium alloy

While everyone was watching the Moscone Center in San Francisco , Morgan Stanley analysts on Monday were telling the CM Summit in New York how mobile Web advertising is worth much of a potential $50 billion global market. That’s because the number of consumers accessing the mobile Web has seen “unprecedented early stage growth,” ramping much more quickly than PC Internet usage did, according to the analysts’ presentation . By 2010 smartphones will for the first time outsell all personal computers, both desktop and notebook, to the tune of almost 500 million units. Thus, more consumers will be reachable by the mobile Web than by traditional Internet. How much faster have consumers adopted mobile Internet usage?

Section: Communications , Cellphones , Cellular Providers , Smartphones , Mobile Assuming we can believe this latest leaked image, then it looks like the T-Mobile myTouch 3G is not going to be getting an upgrade to Android 2.1. And while that may sound like bad news, its actually good because the myTouch 3G is skipping Android 2.1 and stepping right in with Android 2.2 Froyo though as for when this will happen remains a mystery. The details at this point simply state that the update is “coming soon” and that it will be Android 2.2.

We’ve already heard rumors of Hulu coming to the iPad and Xbox 360 , and rumors of a subscription service , and it looks like those might now all be coming together. According to Reuters , two sources and “another with knowledge of the matter” say that Hulu will be rolling out to “multiple devices” in the next month or two — only the iPad and Xbox 360 are mentioned by name — and that it will indeed be offering a subscription service. As we had heard, the subscription service would apparently only be for older episodes of TV shows and other content — you’d still be able to watch new episodes of shows for free — and it sounds like it will apply to Hulu as a whole, not just those aforementioned devices. Not many more details than that, unfortunately, but this does certainly seem to be taking on a feeling of inevitability.
