Pfff, forget those itty bitty Eee PC SSDs. Asus' 12.2-inch mini laptop weighs less than 3-pounds and offers 8-hours of unplugged freedom with some help from Intel's Atom Z520 processor and ASUS' own Syper Hybrid Engine tech. Most notable is that massive (price too we expect) 512GB SSD, a world's first in a laptop according to ASUS. No price or dates yet, expect those along side the official press release later today.

The Eee train won't stop until all consumer electronics have been assimilated. Today Asus introduced the world to the Eee Keyboard, a full-sized keyboard with built-in PC including WiFi (and Ethernet), speaker, mic, and 5-inch interactive display and touchscreen. It weighs less than 2 pounds and connects to existing displays. Well, it would if it was more than a concept, which, knowing Asus, means someday soon.

Ok, so it may not be quite the brain-wired contraption that the name suggests, but this so-called NeuroActive Bike is still pretty unique in its own right, and it could possibly be headed to a gym near you. Apparently, the bike has already turned up at a handful of gyms in Canada and France, and the company behind it, Brain Center America, has now announced that it'll be headed to some Lady of America Fitness Centers in the US. The bike itself is basically a standard exercise bike with a built-in Brain Age-type game, which BCA says includes 22 different "brain-stimulating exercises" that'll train different parts of your brain as you work out. No word on a home version just yet, unfortunately, but the basic software is actually available separately if you want to have a go at building your own rig -- and if you do, be sure to send us some pictures.

• Push notifications. This was supposed to roll out in September and is sorely needed.
• Snow Leopard. Last June Apple said the OS was due in "about a year," so we would expect to start hearing a bit more about it -- or at least notification of a delay.

• Matte display options for other MacBooks. Pretty please?
• Mac mini refresh. The little box has become woefully underspecced -- especially for the price -- and is also lagging a little in the design department.
• A mid-range tower. This is just wishful thinking, but seriously Apple: the demand is there.
• iPhone 32GB. In pink, of course.

• iPhone nano. Our hands aren't getting any smaller, and this SimCity isn't gonna get plumbing all on its own.
• iTablet. Sure, it's been every Netwton-head's dream since forever, but that doesn't mean the market for a UMPC-ish iPod touch-like device is there just yet.
