Video – Hands-on with the Compaq Airlife 100
Feb 17th
Chippy from UMPCPortal has taken some time out from running around like a madman at MWC to sit down with the Compaq Airlife 100. If you’ll recall this is the new Snapdragon-toting Netbook-form-factor-Smartbook, if thats not over-complicating things. The Airlife 100 runs Android , has a 10.1″ Resistive touchscreen, and due to that lean Snapdragon under the hood has a claimed 12-hour battery life (Obviously take that with the usual battery-life-related pinch of salt). The Airlife 100 also has built-in 3G, a card reader, 16GB SSD and a keyboard and touchpad specifically tailored for Android (The touchpad has Home and Back buttons alongside it, for instance).
If Compaq (or HP, as it’s likely to be branded in the US) can hit a good pricepoint for this device it could be a real hit. See UMPCPortal’s hands-on below.
Is Dell about to announce the Mini 11?
Jan 13th
Over at Engadget, a tipster has sent in information about a battery for a Dell Mini 11. The configuration tool page for the Dell Mini 10, lists a battery available for both the Mini 10 and 11. Apart from that however, that’s all we have on the Mini 11 but, hopefully we’ll hear more about it from Dell soon and that it’s not a typo.
