The onslaught of the “iPad killers” has begun. Pictured here is Samsung’s bid: an Android 2.2 powered tablet that has a 7-inch screen, 1024 x 600 resolution, front and rear cameras and built-in 3G, bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity. The Samsung Galaxy Tab will be available in Europe and the States soon. Folks in Asia seems to have to wait longer.

The iPod Nano just got smaller. It’s now got a multi-touch screen, a built-in FM radio and a pedometer. Storage sizes are 8GB and 16 GB. Available colors are silver, green, graphite, blue, pink and orange. Prices range from ($149 to $179). With its size half of its predecessor and the attached belt clip, it looks like the new Nano line is poised to replace the tiny iPod shuffle.

With Steve Job coming back into the limelight, he launched a new generation of iPod Nanos. This time, the popular mp3 player comes with a video playback feature and a camera, mike and speaker. It now also comes with a larger 2.2 inch display, aluminum casing, a pedometer and the long-awaited feature – an FM radio. The new Nanos are priced from $150 to $180 and comes in nine colors: black, silver, purple, green, blue, orange, yellow, pink and red.

For Microsoft fanatics, Microsoft has made available the new Zune HDs on Amazon. The Zune HD features connection via Wi-Fi that allows you to buy, stream and update your music without connecting it to a computer. The Zunes come in variants of 16 and 32 GB that cost $219 and $289 respectively.

This coming Fall Archos is treating us with something that Apple has been putting-off. The Archos 9 is a tablet PC that has a 9-inch touchscreen, powered by an Intel Atom processor, with an 80 GB hard drive, a webcam, Wi-Fi connectivity and speakers. The touchscreen interface will run the new Windows 7. This baby will cost at around $625. Perhaps it will cost more than 40,000 pesos when it hits the Philippines.

It’s a great gadget in such a way that it can be used as an ebook and a netbook. Amazon’s Kindle should better watch out.

The new 3rd generation iPod shuffle is smaller — and a choking hazard. But seriously this new product from Apple is not that bad, you’d either love it or hate it. At almost half the footprint of its predecessor, the new shuffle has a new feature called VoiceOver that reads the song name. The controls are also new, which was shifted to the right earphone cable. The price of this new iPod Nano for the Philippines is PhP 4160 in the Apple Store Philippines. It comes in silver and black anodized aluminum casing.

This one’s another gadget from this year’s CES, and a weird one at that. It’s called the Obama iMini Pet iPod dock that dances when you play your music.
