HP to Expand its Mini-Note Products
Jan 16th
Aside from the HP Mini-Note 2140 which received a good media coverage during the CES, HP is also planning to release a new netbook, the Mini-Note 2150. Likewise, HP will also be releasing an 11.6-inch and 13.3-inch regular notebooks, also a part of the Mini-Note family.
The HP Mini-Note 2150 will be similar in features to the Mini-Note 2140 except for its 3G module.
The HP Mini-Note 2140 was launched during the CES with key features such as a 10.1-inch display in 16:9 aspect ratio panel, 80GB HDD among other features.
The Mini-Note 2150 will be launch sometime in June 2009.

HyperSpace instant-on OS pops up while Windows boots
Jan 16th
The HyperSpace environment lets you get online, browse the web, check e-mail, and watch YouTube videos. Phoenix claims using it instead of Windows for day-to-day tasks can also increase battery life by “up to 30%.” You won’t have to wait for hardware makers to implement this one in their notebooks, either-you can download a 21-day trial right here and buy the whole thing for $59.99. HyperSpace sits in its own hard drive partition (you’ll apparently need 3GB of contiguous space), and it can co-exist with English versions of Windows Vista SP1 x86. Hardware-wise, Phoenix says you’ll need an Intel Core Duo or Core 2 Duo processor with hardware virtualization support, along with Intel GMA 3000, 3100, X3000, X3100, X3500, or X4500 integrated graphics. If you’re not sure you have the right hardware, the installer should find out for you. Also, Phoenix offers a cut-down version called HyperSpace Dual with looser hardware requirements but no support for concurrent operation with Windows.
Could be interesting if this works on Aspire One….
