Is HP Axing the Mini 110?
Jan 12th
The folks at MyHPMini.com spotted that the HP Mini 110 seems to have disappeared from the HP Home and Office store. So, it seems that HP is finally putting this nifty netbook to a rest. Although the special edition HP Mini 110 Studio Tord is still up at the online store, it seems fitting that HP retires the standard HP Mini 110 already, especially since its next generation HP Mini netbooks were already officially announced.
The new HP Mini 210, HP Mini 210 HD and Compaq Mini CQ110 are officially HP’s major netbook products this year.
So, if you’re planning to the HP Mini 110, I don’t know for sentimental reasons probably, you’re best bet would be to check out Amazon.com, as I’m pretty sure the online shop still carries it.

HP Mini 110 turned into a smartbook prototype
Jan 10th
With all the releases HP has done during the CES, I guess they just had to make do with what they had to make their own smartbook mockup. The company demonstrated a mockup of a smartbook made from the same chassis as an HP Mini 110 with a few tweaks.
The prototype has a Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU and Google Android OS. It features a touchscreen as well some unique home and back buttons beside the trackpad. The trackpad itself is tweaked since Android doesn’t use cursors for its interface.
While HP doesn’t have plans to enter the smartbook market yet, the prototype does show that they are actively researching on opportunities and we hope it’s going to be thinner and smaller than what they showed off.

Zumo to power HP’s cloud storage service
Jan 8th
Netbooks have come a long way since the early days. Most of them can now come with drives of up to 320GB that can store everything your desktop or laptop (or even desklaptop) does, possibly even more. That isn’t stopping HP though. They teamed up with online service ZumoDrive to bring much more storage to their netbook lines.
Many of the entry-level netbooks from HP have very little storage to offer like the paltry 60GB of my HP Mini 1000. But more than storage, having a cloud-based server handling your files makes access much more easier.
The service by HP will be called the CloudDrive and will be using Amazon’s S3 service for the storage solution. Another key strength to note is that the drive will act like a local drive, which makes it easy for networked applications like iTunes and Picasa to work with. It also has an iPhone app so you can grab files on your mobile. Offline access is also provided so your recent and frequently used content will be with you even when you lose your connection.
