Back in July, we heard that Sylvania (of all companies) would be bringing a few more netbooks into the world, and sure enough, that g netbook MAGNI that was hinted at earlier this year will be making its red carpet debut in time for the holidays. Based on information gathered in an interview with Paul Goldenberg, Managing Partner of Digital Gadgets (the company that sells under the Sylvania brand), the 10-inch netbook will be nothing more than a rebadged MSI Wind with a 120GB hard drive, 1GB of RAM, an Intel Atom CPU and your choice of either Windows XP or Ubuntu Remix. Pricing and battery size details have yet to be determined, but given how easy it is to search for both of those tidbits in relation to the Wind, we’d say you’ve just found a great use for your deductive reasoning skills.

Okay, so maybe Cizmo’s CX1730M is based heavily on Clevo’s M570TU, but it’s still one beast of a machine. This 17-inch monster packs a 2.26GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of DDR3 RAM, a 160GB SATA hard drive, WSXGA+ panel, a 2-megapixel webcam, dual-layer DVD burner (or optional Blu-ray drive), NVIDIA’s 512MB GeForce 8800M GTX and a plethora of ports. Amazingly, this one tips the scales at “just” 8.7-pounds, which actually isn’t half bad for a unit this potent. Additionally, it looks as if you can order this puppy in a variety of hues — including the above pictured camouflage — right now starting at €1,427 ($2,249).

Although you may not be familiar with YelloMosquito, chances are you’re totally aware of the business that 22Moo is in. Turns out, the former is simply a division of the latter, which is busy boasting about the Qingbar Gp300. ‘Course, we’ve known that completely wireless head-mounted displays were in the works, but YM is claiming that these unsightly things are the world’s first cordless LCOS video glasses to feature a built-in media player complete with DivX support. Reportedly, users can enjoy getting mocked while watching a 50-inch virtual screen, and they can load up their files via the built-in miniSD slot. If you just can’t resist the urge to relive your Virtual Boy glory days, you can pre-order the December-bound unit now for $299 — otherwise, you’ll be laying down a Benjamin more (or smartly saving a mint) when it ships en masse.

MPIO’s MO100 doesn’t have a whole heck of a lot going for it, and interestingly enough, neither does Grundig’s MPixx 2000. Of course, that could be because they’re likely the exact same player save for the branding. Just look for yourself — you’ll notice the same 1.8-inch 160 x 128 resolution display, MP3 / WMA / SMV / JPEG / BMP format support, FM tuner and real-time recording as found on the Grundig, and in case you needed any additional proof, the MO100 arrives in 1GB and 2GB flavors, too. Nevertheless, it still features USB connectivity, around 12-hours of continuous playback and looks a touch nicer in that blue motif, but don’t expect anything revolutionary for obvious reasons.

We know the rebadging / knockoff fiends have kicked out some seriously stupefying gear in the past, but we just find it (mighty) hard to believe that Nokia is actually venturing into the DVD player market. Nevertheless, a tipster reportedly snapped the above shot whilst out in Almaty, Kazakhstan, and while one may assume that the player was simply some other firm’s “DVD-3800″ with a Nokia emblem, both Denon and Astar’s iterations look fairly different. So, dear readers, what on earth is going on here? If anyone has even a remote clue what this thing is, drop us a line in comments — oh, and be sure to peep the other two snapshots after the break.

[Thanks, Javad]
