Cnet published an interesting article today about how Windows division President Steven Sinofsky worked with Acer to design an ideal Windows 7 notebook.  Coincidentally, that notebook, called the Aspire 1420P, showed up on the FCC website today as well.

The 1420P is a tablet that is designed to leverage the multitouch capabilities built into Windows 7.  The device features VGA and HDMI outputs, multicard reader, a/b/g/n WiFi, 3G WWAN, Bluetooth, and webcam.

Although the Sinofsky designed 1420P rocks an Intel Celeron mobile processor, the notebook is also available with Core 2 Duo or Pentium mobile processors.  The tablet comes with 4 GB of RAM, which can be upgraded to 8 GB.

The highlight of the tablet is a 11.6” 1366×768 touchscreen display.  However, integrated Mobile Intel GS45 graphics are a bit disappointing.

No word on pricing or a release date for the 1420P Series, which Acer also sells as the Aspire 1820PT.

DRS Technologies passed the Armor X10 tablet through the FCC today.  The ruggedized tablet features a 10.4” display, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS.  The X10 is powered by a 1.2 GHz Intel Core Duo, and is available with either a HDD or SSD.

Unfortunately, the X10 runs Windows XP – it’d be nice to see an update to Windows 7 here.

I’m not a biker, but I’d guess that it’s pretty tough to listen to music or talk on the phone while you’re riding.  The SCR-System from Schuberth, pictured above, seems like a good solution for bikers.

The device fits into the cushioning of motorcycle helmets, giving users a relatively quiet environment for listening to A2DP stereo Bluetooth or speaking on the phone, while also making call and music controlling buttons easy to access.

In addition to core Bluetooth calling and music features, the SCR-System also acts as an intercom for groups of bikers.  The device has an intercom range of up to 300 meters, allowing you to communicate with fellow riders wirelessly.

French telecommunications equipment vendor Alcatel passed the OT-800 tri-band mobile phone through the FCC today.  The device bears a slight resemblance to the BlackBerry, with a bit of Palm Centro thrown in for good measure.

Alcatel doesn’t have a huge presence with its mobile phones here in the United States, but the company is a large vendor of back-end networking equipment that may help it beef-up its presence in the mobile device market.

Although Sharper Image retail stores are far gone, the company is still licensing the well-known Sharper Image brand for consumer electronics.  The Sharper Image Bluetooth headset pictured above passed through the FCC today.

There’s not a lot unique here, but the Sharper Image brand may help to differentiate this headset from the hundreds of other generic Bluetooth headsets out there.

Clearwire’s Clear 4G service has been rolling out at a solid clip across the United States.  Today, the company added to their selection of USB modems with the Ubee Clear 4G modem pictured above.

Clear 4G has been getting decent reviews, however the service is still limited to only a few states.  That makes it a tough solution for travelers who need to stay connected on the road.

I actually think Sprint has a better solution with their 3G/4G USB modem, which will support existing CDMA/EVDO networks as well as 4G networks.
