Smartbooks To Dominate Real Soon
Smartbook is one of of those tech terms that popped up last year, and took off. People even debate the difference between a netbook and smartbook. The current consensus is that a smartbook has an always on connection, and uses a low power processor to have a long standby time. One detail is that there [...]

At CES, there was one Windows tablet that got quite a bit of attention- the HP Slate. This device is the antithesis of the iPad as it is a full featured device, complete with a full OS, and full processor. On top of that, it can run flash, and do anything that any other Windows [...]

A computer without a connection is just not nearly as useful. While some are fortunate enough to have easy access to WiFi, others are forced to make other arrangements. The most common plan is to get online via a cellphone carrier. However, there are disadvantages, including slower internet speeds. Oh, and there is also the [...]

MSI is one of those companies that consistently seems to get a little less attention than some of the bigger players. I will tell you that I’ve seen their products in action, and they are solid, and have longevity. While they look a little plasticky, they can go the distance. An example is the MI [...]

Living in the suburbs, I can totally see why users could need a mobile data plan. There are plenty of places where there is no WiFi, and folks need want to be connected. The cellphone carriers are happy to oblige, but they offer a netbook at a slightly reduced price, and then sign you up [...]

The Nokia Booklet 3G is at once a well designed piece of hardware, and oh so overpriced. In other words, many want it, but aren’t willing to pay the price of admission. Over at Nokia Mobile Blog, they spotted a Best Buy Rewards Zone ad that clues us into the pricing and the [...]

Some days, it seems that every netbook model has the same specs, and we are limited to talking about the location of the right shift key to differentiate them.

2. November 2009 | by Jonas
There is no shortage of carrier deals where you get the netbook at a subsidized price, along with a two year contract for the data plan. While Verizon already has netbook offerings, they are expected to add the Sony VAIO P to their lineup. Apparently, the Sony VAIO P starts at a “are you freakin’ crazy” [...]

I’ve not been a fan of these carrier subsidized netbook deals, as they don’t offer enough subsidy for the length and expense of the contract in my mind. Many are hoping that the price of the plans goes down, and hopefully it will next year. In the meantime, Sprint is expected to introduce a new [...]

29. October 2009 | by Robert Nelson
The latest in the netbook rumor mill is suggesting that 3G equipped netbooks may be available with Sprint in the not-to-distant future. The tip comes courtesy of TechVi, who were notified by Mr. or Mrs. Anonymous. That said, this tipster does seem to have a decent track record, just in case that helps any. With that, [...]
