Disney announced today that they plan to team up with computer maker Asus to produce a new netbook called the Netpal. This new netbook is targeted at kids between the ages of 6 and 12 and will offer them up simple yet useful features.
Modeled after the Eee PC, this netbook will have Wi-Fi, an Intel Atom processor, Windows XP and an 8.9-inch display. The interface, however, will feature custom Disney themes like Cars, Toy Story, Mickey Mouse and others.
Parental controls are included as well, allowing you to control web browsing, e-mail and more. Other programs include a memo pad, stopwatch and calculator plus access to Radio Disney. There’s a 16GB SSD and a 160GB HDD version and several color options including “Magic Blue” which features Mickey Mouse logos on a blue background and “Princess Pink” which features a pink base with flowers. You can get the Netpal in July for $349.99.

Samsung announced a brand new LCD monitor not too long ago called the VC240, but this is no ordinary display. In fact, it’s configured to work as a video conferencing tool. Made by an affiliated company called Radvision, this display is 23.6-inches and has a 1,920 x 1,080 resolution.
But this monitor also comes with a noise-canceling microphone and a 5-megapixel camera. 3W speakers are built-in. The camera is capable of a 720p resolution and 30fps live video streaming.
Other features include 300cd/m2 brightness, a 1,000:1 contrast ratio, a 170-degree and 160-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angle, respectively and a 5ms response time. It also features V2oIP, SIP, MCUs and MS. Inputs include VGA and DVI-I. You’ll be able to get your hands on this display sometime in the fall for $1,999.

Sanyo revealed two brand new projectors today called the PDG-DET100L and the PLC-WTC500L DLP. Both of these projectors feature a pretty high brightness rating and sport numerous features.
The PDG-DET100L has a brightness rating of 7,500 lumens with two 330W lamps and a 1,400 x 1,050 resolution. Other features include a contrast ratio of 7,500:1, a 4:3 aspect ratio, HDMI 1.3, DVI-D, S-video and RGB. Additionally, it has a DICOM Simulation Mode, which means it can be used to project X-rays in medical environments.
The PLC-WTC500L on the other hand has a brightness of 5,000 lumens, a contrast ratio of 3,000:1, dual-lamps, 16:10 aspect ratio and a PJ Net organizer connector. Both models share a 10-filter roller and picture-in-picture. Both will be available later this month for $14,995 and $6,995.
