Given a choice, I will always use a mobile computer that supports an extended battery over a regular battery. For me, the benefit of additional battery life outweighs the extra weight or thickness. When I saw that the 6-cell battery for HP’s Mini 1000 was 20% off, I decided to go ahead and order one. [...]
If you’ve been following the story of the HP Mini 1000 Webcam woes today, you’ll know that the first there was one video from GearDiary, then there wasn’t as HP apparently asked that it be taken down. Then our cohorts at Notebooks.com posted up another video which we once again posted here. HP has contacted [...]
When I won the HP Mini 1000 at CntrStg during CES 2009 I was excited and knew my wife was going to claim this Netbook the minute I got home, which she did. While I’ve worked with it a bit, I haven’t had my hands on it very much, so I never noticed this webcam [...]

My experiment with my wife and kids using the HP Mini 1000 Mi (or Mini Mi as it is frequently referred to) didn’t turn out quite well. After our visit to HawkQuest, my wife turned on the Mini Mi to begin importing some pictures, only to be met with a blinking cursor. We attempted several [...]

My plans include giving the HP Mini 1000 Mi to my kids and wife to use, and see what they think of this “consumer focused” netbook. Will [...]

Looks like all you Linux-loving Brits might be out of luck. Apparently, HP’s UK folks have decided not to make the Mini 1000 Mi Edition or a Linux based 2140 Mini-Note available in the UK. I’ll try to dig up more on this later today. Until then, head over to RegHardware.co.uk. Update: I asked HP [...]
So, I’m headed out to Starbucks to do some heads-down programming, and I thought I’d take the HP Mini 1000 Mi along, too. I thought it would be fun to download a few tunes since the Mini Mi has a nicely integrated music player, and since I’m mobile, I should probably do what some teenagers [...]
I’ve been spending more time with HP’s Mini 1000 Mi Edition since yesterday and will offer up some video in the next day or so to go over the Mi Edition and explain in more detail some of the issues I’m experiencing. Until then, here are some initial impressions:
I have the pleasure of testing out HP’s new Mini 1000 Mi Edition (Mobile Internet Experience) over the coming weeks. I’m a total Linux newbie, so this should fun. HP’s goal of the MIE is that it shouldn’t really matter if you are a Linux newbie. The experience should be all about the internet, and [...]

Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE Review: A Worthy Successor to the Original (Video)
When Sprint had debuted the original WiMax-capable HTC EVO 4G nearly two years ago, it was an instant hit on the Now network.

Last year Toshiba waded into the Android tablet market with the Thrive, a 10.1-inch slate that served as the company’s response to what they deemed missing in the then current crop. Thus, it had several full-size ports, a rugged-ish exterior, and a thick chassis to accommodate both. Though a decent tablet, the Thrive didn’t generate [...]
Samsung Shows That It Is a Software Company
As exciting as it has been to talk, postulate, and speculate about the Galaxy S III’s hardware and specs before the third-generation Galaxy flagship smartphone was announced on May 3rd in London, once the device was announced one thing became apparent: Samsung is now a software company. That doesn’t mean that Samsung is shying away [...]
Autumn Dynasty Review: A Great RTS for the iPad
With its large touchscreen, the iPad seems like the perfect platform for Real Time Strategy games, and Autumn Dynasty proves it, mostly. Autumn Dynasty is an RTS iPad game with art that looks like tradition Chinese painting. The story involves quelling a rebellion while solving a mystery of shady noblemen. The story though, just serves [...]
