- Acer AC700 WiFi goes on sale, is your $350 ticket to the Chromebook club
Good niches don’t come cheap, but while $350 isn’t exactly a steal, Acer’s new AC700 will, at the very least, get you into the wonderful cloud-based world of Chrome OS for a good deal less than, say, Samsung’s Series 5. Of course, there are certain sacrifices to be made for the sake of affordability, namely the fact that the current version of Acer’s entry into the space is WiFi-only — a 3G version is set to hit later this summer for, one assumes, a noticeable price bump. The AC700 has an Atom N570 processor, 16GB of storage, and 2GB of RAM, and best of all, is available right this very moment.

- Google Talk to use SRI technology for stabilizing video chats, revive Chatroulette
Okay, so maybe it’s not the only reason that Chatroulette is due for a revival, but it certainly won’t hurt matters. SRI Technology has just announced that it’ll be providing image stabilization software to take the jiggles from your future Google Talk videocalls. ‘Course, you’ll need an Android 3.0+ device in order to take advantage, but the general consensus here seems fairly positive. SRI’s press release (embedded after the break) isn’t exactly laced with details, but GigaOM is reporting that this could also improve battery life, but only the heaviest of video chatters are apt to notice the difference. Looks like distracting yourself just got a whole lot less distracting.

SRI Technology | Email this | Comments - HP’s Stephen DeWitt to lead webOS global business unit, Jon Rubinstein stepping aside
It’s looking like there’s a little shuffling happening at HP in the wake of the TouchPad‘s release — and its somewhat less than flattering reception. The company has announced that Stephen DeWitt will be taking the lead in HP’s webOS global business unit, while Jon Rubinstein will be taking over as Senior Vice President of Global Innovation for HP’s Personal Systems Group — DeWitt himself coming from PSG Americas. You’ll of course know Jon as the main cheerleader for webOS in the past, appearing on our Show back in March to show off the TouchPad and the Pre 3. Will Stephen manage the same enthusiasm in extolling the finger-friendly OS’s virtues, or will we instead be seeing more webOS printers? Let’s all hope for the former.
Update: DeWitt was previously the head PSG Americas, not the global Personal Systems Group. Stephen DiFranco will be taking over the role of SVP for PSG Americas.

Weekly poll results: the Redmi K40 series is shaping up to be a hit, Pro+ comes out on top
An interesting division formed in last week’s poll – most people are attracted either to the Redmi K40 or the Pro+ model. One side sees the vanilla K40 as a great value for money phone that will wipe the floor with mid-rangers based on the Snapdragon 700-series. The other side appreciates the higher end features of the top of the line phone. The latter side came out on top as the Redmi K40 Pro+ was chosen by 1 in 3 voters. The lead over the vanilla model is slim but undeniable. The Redmi K40 Pro is noticeably less desirable, though it still has its fans. Overall the K40 series is shaping...
