On the podcast are Chippy from UMPC Portal, JKKMobile, Sascha from NetbookNews.de, Warner from GottaBeMobile, Xavier from [...]

Want to hear a bunch of people speculate about the possibility of an Apple tablet?

We already knew that Linux PC seller System76 was having a hard time keeping the Ubuntu-powered Starling netbook in stock. Now maybe we know why. Blogger Jane Hadley picked up a Starling netbook last month and wrote up a detailed review of her first Linux netbook. She came away quite impressed with both the hardware [...]

HP began taking orders for the HP Mini 1101 in May. But at the time you were left without any major configuration options. Now when you order the  Mini 1101 from the HP Small Busines store you can either choose from one of 2 pre-configured models or customize your own. But you’ll wind up paying [...]

HP Mini 1101 now available with 6 cell battery, 32GB SSD options… for a price

I’m always wary when a company claims to have produced the world’s smallest version of anything. That said, the new Super Talent Pico USB drive is pretty darn tiny for a flash drive that holds up to 32GB of data.  It measures just 1.5 inches by .5 inches and weighs less than 6 grams, or [...]

ECS may not exactly be a household name. But the company makes some pretty decent netbooks, a number of which feature integrated 3G modules. Of course, in many parts of the world you’d be hard pressed to find a netbook with the ECS label on it. Instead, you’ll probably find a netbook like the G10IL [...]

As we pointed out the other day, if you hunt around on eBay, you might be able to pick up a Broadcom Crystal HD Video Accelerator for around $40. This is the same video accelerator that HP offers for the HP Mini 110 netbook. It offers hardware decoding for 720p and 1080p HD video, allowing [...]

Word on the street may be that Acer and Asus aren’t planning on launching any new mini-laptops until 2010, but HP may be another stories.  DigiTimes reports that Taiwanese computer maker Inventec has been tapped to work on an updated 10.1 inch netbook for HP.
There are no details about the new model, but it’s schedueld [...]

The Split Stick is a USB flash drive divided. Basically, the stick has two retractable USB flash drives, one on each side. Each can hold up to 2GB of data. So if you want to store all of your work data on one side and your personal files on another, you can do that. Or [...]

Split Stick: 2 USB flash drives, 1 stick

When computer makers started talking about using the Google Android operating system on netbooks earlier this year, I kind of laughed and moved on. After all, the OS was developed for cellphones with tiny touchscreens, not mini-laptops with higher resolution screens, keyboards, and touchpads. But software company ThunderSoft is making me think twice about Google [...]
