HP loads Android onto a netbook
,----[ Quote ]
| Branded as a Compaq device, HP's Airlife 100
| netbook is powered by the same Qualcomm
| Snapdragon ARM processor that's found in a
| number of recently released smartphones
| including Google's Nexus One.

Bluetooth, a Cell Phone and a Netbook
,----[ Quote ]
| With eeeBuntu on the Asus Netbook, this
| capability is available through the on-board
| Bluetooth radio. It's theoretically possible
| to transfer files and browse the directories
| on most Bluetooth-equipped phones. Today,
| we'll look at how some of the features work
| and explore some of the quirks of using
| Bluetooth that might trip you up.
|
| My tests were carried out running eeeBuntu
| 3.0 (kernel version 2.6.29-1-netbook) on an
| Asus eeePC 1000HE with a 130 GB disk and 2
| GB of memory. The little machine also had a
| Logitech Nano notebook mouse and uses the
| Atom N280 processor.

KDE 4.4 Released With Netbooks In Mind
,----[ Quote ]
| Since my dad taught me how to dual-boot
| Mandrake Linux 7 with Windows ME in my early
| pre-teen years, I have not owned a single
| computer that hasnât had a Linux
| distribution on it. And for many years, KDE
| was my desktop manager of choice. Sometime
| around KDE 3.4, I deemed KDE too clunky and
| left it to experiment with other desktop
| managers.
|
| Still, I never forgot about my roots in the
| Linux world, and indeed KDE 4 brought KDE
| significantly forward towards modern
| desktops. Now, KDE seems to be turning
| towards everyoneâs favorite rising PC
| market: netbooks.

H.P. Develops a Netbook Petri Dish
,----[ Quote ]
| For one, H.P. has done away with a previous
| netbook model that ran the Linux operating
| system instead of Windows. Linux types,
| however, still have an option. Or put another
| way, everyone now has a Linux option.
|
| H.P. has brought the QuickWeb software it
| developed with the start-up DeviceVM to its
| netbook line.

t tu, HP!
,----[ Quote ]
| This is a sign that OEMs are looking at backup
| plans for what to do when the monopoly
| crumbles. If the market for that other OS
| dries up, they have GNU/Linux to lean on. They
| may have to advertise it a bit, but they can.
| If the market for x86 dries up in preference
| to ARM for power/price, HP and others need an
| alternative. If they will not supply ARM and
| GNU/Linux, others will. The market is
| beginning to finish the process of curing the
| anti-competitive acts of the monopoly. It is
| about time.

The Other HP Slate Runs On Android
,----[ Quote ]
| Last night, during his keynote address at
| the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas,
| Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer showed off a
| prototype for a new HP Slate computer
| running on Windows 7. It was supposed to be
| an Apple-stealing moment and it was
| Microsoftâs moment, which is probably why
| Hewlett-Packard has not yet publicly
| mentioned that it is working on another
| tablet/slate computer that is running on
| Android. You know, Googleâs mobile
| operating system.
|
| HP did announce an Android-powered netbook
| yesterday, but that has a keyboard. A
| source who has seen a prototype of HPâs
| Android Slate says it looks just like the
| Windows-powered one Ballmer held last night
| (see image below), maybe a little smaller.
| âIt is almost identical in every respect to
| the one he showed off except for the OS,â
| says my source.
