Having trouble deciding between a notebook or a tablet? Asus invites you to splurge on both by announcing the Taichi at this year's Computex convention. The Taichi isn't unique for the fact that it's a hybrid notebook that pulls double duty as a tablet PC -- there are plenty of other products on the market that pull off the same trick -- but it's unlike anything else out there because it's the first hybrid with a double-sided IPS screen that we're aware of.
Samsung’s hugely successful Galaxy family of devices seems to have found another star performer. The Korean electronics giant has revealed that its 5.3-inch Galaxy Note smartphone-tablet hybrid, which began shipping a couple of months ago, has crossed 1 million global shipments.

We're not sure what's up with Lenovo's cone of silence, but despite the lack of a press release, formal announcement, or any other ballyhooing, the company's new ThinkPad X220 laptop and X220 convertible tablet are both ready to order on Lenovo's website. Pricing starts at $849 for the X220i, which sports an Intel Core i3 2310M processor, $949 for the X220 built around Intel's Core i5 2410M chip, and $1,249 for the X220 Tablet (Core i3 2310M processor).
