A few weeks ago we heard reports that HP has ditched all plans for the HP Slate because of power issues with Intel’s Atom processor and a Windows 7 operating system. New reports suggest that a new tablet from HP featuring WebOS (dubbed the Hurricane) will make its debut in the last quarter of 2010.
If these rumors bear any truth to them this upcoming tablet could be a force to be reckoned with and no doubt will rival the iPad. I am extremely excited to see what HP has planned for the Hurricane.
Specs are yet to be made public but my instincts tell me we will here about them soon.

The modern world is practically based on and composed of a lot of technological inventions. We seem to be unable to do anything without technology. A clear example of the technical addiction is the use of the PC. So far laptops and notebooks are the latest achievements in the field of computers, and they are undeniably conquering more users every day. When discussing about laptops, which are also referred to as small notebook computers, we actually imply small PCs for flexible use. We can virtually retrieve all the basic components in laptops from desktops. Thus, laptops have a display screen, a built in keyboard, a pointing device replacing the mouse and a battery power source. The difference lies in the fact that all these components are to be found into one single unit that is also portable. The rechargeable batteries of laptops get their power from an AC/DC adapter and their capacity enables them to be functional for several hours.

If your love for hard cover books is still leading you to resist a portable ebook reader like Amazon’s Kindle, you may change your mind when you think about the ereader as a green gadget. Books, newspapers and magazines use a great deal of paper for production, and the paper and ink process can affect the environment in such a negative way. So looking at it this way, an ebook is an option to go green because this does away with tree cutting.Ebook readers use rechargeable lithium polymer batteries which are another benefit to consider. In comparison to similar accessories, nickel-based batteries, they aren’t as destructive, and your pocket will be grateful when you don’t have to spend every so often for batteries.Unfortunately, it is the way it goes, and with these positive features, a different set of issues follows. Our society relies heavily on technology, and to meet the needs, electronic companies are frantically producing new gizmos to offer people their much-desired tech fix. We pay good money for the current “in” thing, and don’t conscientiously dispose of our “old” electronic devices. Electronic waste isn’t likely to disappear, and honestly, it is piling up. Recycling isn’t hard, and [...] Continue Reading…

Apple has as soon as again built a product that appears good and feels excellent within the hand, and also the familiar user interface, borrowed from the iphone and ipod touch, is perfectly suited towards the bigger display.
