materialicio.us covered the Joshua Tree prefab:
steel skinned prefab with a wooden interior described as a ‘mountain refuge’, presented at the recent Milan Furniture Fair.
A number of blogs covered the EvolutiV House. Archinect saw it first. MoCo Loco picked up the trail. Treehugger added some details:
The 70 square meter Maison evolutiV was shown at the Salon Européen du bois et de l'Habitat Durable in April....
It is a low consumption modular wood home, ...composed of 2 prefabricated units...
materialicio.us saw the home. And Inhabitat's Prefab Friday liked the home enough to feature it:
The beauty of this design lies in its chestnut façade and inviting floor plan, but also in its small ecological footprint.
Treehugger wrote about a series of prefabs from Swedish company Next House (no relation to 
Empyrean International's NextHouse). We'll cover those in more detail down the line.
Jetson Green, in conjunction with PrairieMod, visited MKD's mkSolaire at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry. We'll cover the unveiling in more detail soon.

Jetson Green reported on La Maison de Demain, a french prefab concept:
The home is built with three prefabricated modules and is meant to show that green design can be affordable and attractive. An important aspect of the house is the open area in the middle, which could be used as a covered patio to extend the footprint of the home into the natural environment.
The Good Human's Prefab Wednesday appears to be on an extended hiatus?
Inhabitat's Prefab Friday covered OMD's Country School:
The Los Angeles middle school expansion project opens next month to some very lucky kids who will enjoy classrooms filled with light, open learning spaces, and the best and healthiest materials. We’re big fans of Jennifer and her Office of Mobile Design here at Inhabitat, and we’re thrilled that her great prefab designs are being successfully applied to educational contexts- what better way to learn and teach than in a wonderful healthy classroom?
Many blogs reported on the end of DoResearch, a blog that collected information on a couple's favorite prefabs. Materialicio.us said
If it’s any consolation, they’ve found some land and they’re planning to build a FlatPak on it in Spring ‘08.
The Prefab Dweller is enthusiastic about the ZeroHouse:
The Zerohouse sure fits both my dreams...
