Yoggie’s mini “security computers” have been at the disposal of Computer users for some time now, and it looks like the company has now finally decided to give Mac users a taste of the absolutely hardware-based security solution. That comes in the form of both Mac-friendly versions of Yoggie’s Gatekeeper ExpressCard and its Gatekeeper Pico USB stick, each of which are “full-blown” Linux-based computers in the own right, and include a slew of applications that promise to both increase security and take some of the load off of your laptop or desktop. What’s more, it looks like Yoggie is also giving Mac users a slight discount for their patience, as the Gatekeeper ExpressCard and Gatekeeper Pico are now available to pre-order fro $150 and $119, respectively, a 20% discount compared to their usual price, and their PC counterparts.

Finally, a netbook with a name adorable enough to fit the design. Averatec’s 10.2-inch Buddy is now on sale after becoming official late last month, and it’s in stock for shipment to boot. As a refresher, you’ll get a 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, a 160GB hard drive, 802.11b/g WiFi, Ethernet, a 1.3-megapixel webcam, a WXGA panel, 4-in-1 multicard reader, three USB 2.0 ports and Windows XP Home running the show. Oh, and Averatec’s own e-store asserts that this 10.2-inch machine has a 12.1-inch LCD, but you know better than that. Yours now for $449.99.

You were looking for a laugh to start your Columbus Day / Canadian Thanksgiving Day / etc. off, weren’t you? Think about yourself lucky. OLO Computer is reportedly thinking of bringing to market a netbook-styled device that would actually enable (require?) users to plop their iPhone / iPhone 3G into the palm rest; from there, the handset would act as the brains of the operation and double as a trackpad. At the present time, there are no real specifications to talk of — just a zany teaser page and lots of speculation. We shouldn’t have to remind you what an epic failure the whole “cellphone companion” sector has been, as one look at Palm’s axed Foleo and the deeply discounted Celio REDFLY should be explanation enough. Hey, we’re not trying to discourage you from giving this a go, OLO, but we’d probably have a backup plan ready to roll in case Apple itself drops a netbook on the world in the next 48 hours.

If there’s a downside, it’s that there’s no new wares to be found after each opening, but on the other hand, at least there’s no large dent on your credit card.
