- Show floor video: Axiotron's Modbook wows the crowd
Filed under: Macworld, Hardware
Who said there can only be one big portable computer announcement at Macworld Expo? The long-awaited Axiotron Modbook -- a FrankenMac adaptation of the MacBook into a surprisingly sleek and functional tablet machine -- was originally shown at last year's Macworld Expo and has finally reached shipping status (available starting at $2290). Does the lure of a touchscreen outweigh the siren call of a MacBook Air? Can you get real work done with Ink gesture recognition?
We got a quick demo at the Axiotron booth (video after the jump). For mobile artists, storyboard work or architectural annotations, the Modbook might be just the thing.Continue reading Show floor video: Axiotron's Modbook wows the crowd

Filed under: Macworld, Enterprise, Software
While VMware's OS X virtualization offering is described as a 'technology preview' (translation: still too buggy for beta), the team at Parallels is beta-ready with the new Parallels Server product, allowing you to virtualize OS X Server alongside your Windows, Windows Server and Linux VMs. The server version from 'Big Red' also features experimental support for Intel's VT-d directed I/O capability (present on the newest Mac Pro and XServe machines), lightweight and 'bare metal/headless' hypervisor modes, and 2-way SMP multicore in a VM (expected to support 4-way SMP in the final version).
Feel the power of this mostly operational virtualization station in our brief video demo with Parallels marketing lead Ben Rudolph (video after the jump). Pricing and availability on Parallels Server aren't announced yet but as soon as they are we'll let you know.
Update: Commenters have suggested that 'too buggy for beta' was an unfair characterization of VMware's demo, and they're probably right -- I did not mean to diminish the incredible efforts of developers at VMware, who like the Parallels crew have been working very hard on this. Also suggested was the notion that Parallels Server beta is an inferior offering and it can't install an unmodified copy of Leopard Server (as VMware's demo did -- the video linked on Regis' blog was shot by me :-). I can't vouch for the install process, but I can say that the Parallels instance of X Server worked as expected when I had hands-on time with it. Parallels is not new, corporately, to the challenge of enterprise virtualization; the Virtuozzo product line is both reliable and well-regarded, and the engineering talent behind those products is now collaborating on the Parallels Server work.Continue reading Show floor video: Parallels Server virtualizes OS X Server

Filed under: Macworld, TUAW Business
Between the jetlag and the general post-Macworld fog, I had almost forgotten what day it was -- fortunately, Talkshoe was kind enough to send me a tickler email and remind me of tonight's talkcast. We'll be live at 10 pm/7 pm ET/PT to take your questions, comments, rants and raves about the past week's news. If possible, we'll do a point-counterpoint between Mat "MacBook Air is a second computer" Lu and Chris "MacBook Air is the one machine I need" Ullrich.
As always, you can join the conversation on Talkshoe either with or without an account by using the shiny new browser-only client, no downloading required and no registration needed. Just click the "TalkShoe Web" button on our profile page at 10 pm tonight. You can also listen in on the Talkshoe page or call in on regular or VOIP lines.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:
