Toshiba may not be the first out of the gate with a 16GB microSDHC card, but they sure are the latest. Trailing behind SanDisk by only two months, Toshiba’s version will provide plenty of room for all of the things you hold dear in life. The Toshiba cards are slated for mass production in January of next year. A price range has not been set yet but expect something similar to the competition. Thank God. My hard drive was getting perilously close to filled.

Motorola is getting ready to add the QA30 to their Q-Series lineup. The phone comes with a sliding QWERTY keypad. However, it’s not necessarily not a smartphone. The specs aren’t going to wow anyone but they are adequate.

It features CDMA, 1x-EVDO connectivity, a 2.5-inch TFT, Full HTML browser, a 2 MP camera, Bluetooth and MicroSD card support up to 32GB. This seems like a fairly solid choice for those of you looking for a cheap QWERTY. Moto offers no word on when and how much, however.

They offer no word on pricing or availability yet though.

The Asus R50A is shipping and it’s quite expensive. The UMPC will cost an estimated $1,878.

It also features a gig of RAM, a 32GB SSD hard drive, a 5.6"screen at 1024 x 600, three USB ports, a microSD slot, a wireless keyboard and an external DVD reader / writer. The R50A will also allow you to connect wirelessly via 802.11 b / g WiFi, Bluetooth and 3G. The unit is currently shipping if you have the money.
