Marketshare came out with a report today showing just how dominant the iPhone is in the mobile browsing market: a whopping 66.61 percent of all mobile browsing is done on the ubiquitous smartphone.Not all is rosy for the apple of Apple’s eye, however, as the Android and BlackBerry markets are gaining marketshare rather quickly. No one’s too upset about that, though, as the overall market is growing so rapidly that the amount of folks browsing the Internet on their iPhones is still on the rise, even if the percentage

With netbooks being all the rage in the market right now even though they lack the horsepower of a traditional PC it makes you wonder what is next? A couple days ago Toradex unveiled the credit card-sized Robin Z510 and Z530 computer modules! The two platforms feature a 1.1GHz Intel Atom Z510 and 1.6GHz Atom Z530 (the same processor found in the Vaio P), respectively, as well as integrated GMA500 graphics card with HD capabilities, support for up to seven USB 2.0 ports, and on board microSD slot (pictured, bottom left), 512MB DDR2 RAM, and 2GB solid state flash disk. Enthusiasts can order it now for 129 / 179 ($164 / $227), but there's about a $20 discount if you're willing to buy in bulks of 10,000 or more.

The credit card sized Robin Z530 and Z510 are embedded Nano COM Express Type 1 computer modules. They are based on Intel Atom Z530 and Z510 processors and the Intel System Controller Hub US15W, which combines the memory controller, graphic engine and I/O in a single, ultra compact design. The Intel Atom Z530 processor runs at 1.6GHz and is designed for high performance computing with low power consumption. Robin Z510 features the Intel Atom Z510 processor which runs at 1.1GHz. Robin Z530 offers a PCI Express x1 lanes, GBit LAN, and up to 7 High Speed USB ports for fast signal connectivity. One USB port can be configured as USB client.

If you wanted to start off the week on a good note, you better roll over and go back to bed. The Dow Jones industrials has fallen below 7,000 points for first time since October, 1997! Right now the DOW is sitting at 6,926.10, which is down 136.83 for the day!

This past Friday the S&P 500 registered its lowest intraday and closing level since 1997. Based on stock futures, the stock market is expected to begin this session below those levels. Traders are extending last week's losses after AIG (AIG) posted a massive fourth quarter loss and indicated it will need more money from the government. The mood overseas hasn't helped improve the early tone.

According to The Register, President Obama’s 2010 budget includes a new yearly spectrum license fee of $200 million dollars; that’s four times the current fee of $50 million dollars, and the stated plan is to increase fees incrementally to $550 million dollars a year by 2020.  Wireless carriers must pay this fee each year in order to use the spectrum for wireless devices – read: cell phones.

We feel wireless carriers overcharge for their many of their services, so why shouldn’t we be happy the Feds are stickin’ it right back to ‘em?  Because businesses don’t pay taxes out of pocket, they simply increase the amount they charge customers for goods and services to recover the amount they’re forced to pay.  Which means we can look forward to increasingly higher wireless bills once (and if) this change goes into effect, whether we bring home $18,000 a year or $250,000.

Bottom line: if a company you do business with (for power, food, gasoline, phone service, travel, etc.) has its taxes raised, you’ll be the one paying for it.

Corsair likes to try out new things and this time around they have developed a new chassis from the ground up that is clearly aimed at computer enthusiasts. Corsair has a prototype of the yet to be named case on display at CeBIT this week and since we couldn't be there they sent us the following pictures of the original prototype that was produced back in December.

We have just received word (and images) that Corsair is showing off a brand new, full-tower case at the CeBIT trade show in Hannover, Germany. We do not have all of the details just yet except to say that it should be available sometime in early Q2, and there is no official name for the product at the moment, but we thought you’d all like to check it out in the meantime…    As you can see, the case features a black finish–inside and out. A few other features of the case include four hot swappable
