HP 2133 Mini-Note unboxed

UMPC and UMPC size devices are becoming more common these days and with the successes of the Asus Eee PC platform lots of manufacturers are coming up with similar products.

HP Compaq announced the Mini-Note range a little while ago and these ultra-small form factor laptops look like being a real winner.

There’s a lot crammed in to the 2133, there’s a 120GB hard drive, 1GB RAM and an awesome 1280×768 display that has got to be one of the sharpest TFT’s I have ever seen!

Below you’ll find my brief unboxing video, which will give you a some idea of the size of this neat little device, while Mark prepares the review which should be online in a week or so.

    1216832375.gif Its barely announced but Treocentral are giving one lucky person the opportunity of winning a GSM Treo 850w. Why am I telling you? I have my guess of when exactly the Treo 850w is being released in and my fingers will be crossed right up to September. The 800w is getting mixed reviews Stateside, however that is an improvement over recently reactions to their ageing product line.

    The Windows Mobile Ecosystem for Developers

    Looking for small business web development near me, I spotted an interesting article at the Windows Mobile Blog which explains in quite a bit of detail the process involved in deploying new Windows Mobile OS’s along with updates etc and why it takes so long before we actually see them on devices. You know like when they announced Windows Mobile 6.1 way back in February and we are still waiting for updates in July 5-6 months later. You can read the full article after the break.

    Adverts. Tell it like it is

    funnies Gizmodo has a few funny adverts that will raise a smile for some of the new and old tech on the market. Nice to see some recurring themes here. These are the highlights of a competition run recently over at Gizmodo. I think No.2 was robbed of the No.1 spot.

    Help!!! 3G Mobile Broadband when visiting France

    image I am visiting France for a family holiday but would really like to be able to stay online while I am away, I have been looking around for the best way to get 3G access but it seems it is going to be a very expensive thing to do. I have a 3 USB Modem and they have no roaming agreements so would charge £3.00 per MB for data which is very very expensive. Does anyone have any cheaper solutions or is it possible to get a pre-pay mobile broadband set up while I am in France, my information is that you can only get mobile broadband in France by signing a 12 month minimum contract which doesn’t help. If anyone has any solutions or suggestions please leave a comment. Thanks
