The Dell Inspiron Duo

The Dell Inspiron Duo finally got its official teaser video, and it looks amazing. Announced two months ago, the 10-inch convertible netbook has an interesting swivel mechanism: the screen flips vertically inside the bezel. When the panel is facing inwards, you have a normal netbook that you can open and close as you normally would. When it's facing outwards, you have a tablet with a hardware keyboard underneath. In other words, the device has an entertainment mode and a productivity mode. The Inspiron Duo feature a dual-core Intel Atom N550 processor, Windows 7 Home Premium, and hopefully some applications that put the touchscreen to good use. The video shows a JBL speaker-dock as well as the device working in both modes.


The video says the Inspiron Duo is "coming soon" but Dell has yet to be any more specific than that (we expect to have it by this year's holiday season). In any case, the price is also unknown. How much would you be willing to pay for the device?

Tour de France - Astana leave out Pereiro for Tour

Spaniard Pereiro, who won the Tour in 2006 after American Floyd Landis was stripped of his title following a positive test for testosterone, has been in poor form this season.

"The team that will guide Alberto Contador on the road of the Tour de France is the result of a long collective team work," Astana manager Yvon Sanquer said.

Champion Contador, bidding for a third Tour title, will be helped in his challenge by Kazakh Alexander Vinokourov, Spaniards David de la Fuente, Jesus Hernandez, Daniel Navarro, Benjamin Noval, Italian Paolo Tiralongo, Ukraine's Andriy Grivko and Kazakh Maxim Iglinskiy.

The Tour de France starts on July 3 with a 8.9-km prologue in Rotterdam.

DROGHEDA WHEELERS CYCLING CLUB FUNDRAISER

DROGHEDA FUNDRAISER
A night at the Drogheda Pantomime 2010 is to be in aid of Drogheda Wheelers Cycling Club. It tales place in a new theater on the Donore Road and should entice a number of clubs in the general area. Ciaran Campbell is a participant in the show. The production will take place on Sunday, the 24th of January. It is a great family show and all proceeds will go to the club and will be used in the holding of the numerous underage events that the club promotes every year. All support appreciated. The show will be on for 10 nights. According to Gerard Campbell, "It will us with our promotions and particularly Ras na nÓg which takes place early in the season. Originally we had a car dealer involved with our promotion, but this year because of the decline in sales, they are giving it a miss and I fully understand their predicament," said Gerard who'll be in Bray on Sunday.

Joaquim Rodríguez crashes out of Katusha camp

Joaquim Rodríguez has gotten off to a rough start at his new home at Katusha.

The Spanish attacker crashed hard on a training ride Sunday on the second day of a training camp along Spain’s Mediterranean Coast, leaving him with 15 stitches and a doctor’s order to take 10 days’ rest.

Rodríguez — who switched from Caisse d’Epargne to Katusha to gain more opportunities to ride as a team captain — rode into some broken glass, punctured his front tire and landed hard on the shards.

Rodríguez felt dizzy after the crash and was transported to a local hospital for a check-up.

“It caused some pretty ugly cuts, one on the gluteus and the other on my thigh,” he said. “The cuts were deep, with a lot of blood. The cut to the gluteus was so deep you could see the fat. They took me to the hospital, where they gave me 15 stitches and told me to take at least 10 days off the bike.”

Other than the stitches and some other minor cuts and bruises, he wasn’t seriously injured.

Rodríguez returned to his home in Spain’s Catalunya and will rejoin his teammates once he heals, team officials reported.

Members of the Katusha team will remain in Calpe for another 10 days. Other team members are scheduled to go to Australia for the Tour Down Under (January 17-24) while others are racing in South America for the Tour de San Luís (January 10-22).
