We're almost ready to port everything to our new site.  Please bear with us as we continue to try to make your visits even better.  Our new URL is http://mobilepcworld.net.  We're not quite ready yet (as you'll see when you get there), but we're finally getting closer. 

Windows 7 is going to make 'touch' and 'multi-touch' names that are easily recognized, so we're changing with the times to cover as much about mobile computing as we can.

Windows7 runs on HP Mini1000 - and runs well.  See our first impressions here.

CES (Consumer Electronics Show) is being held as I write this.  We're there for a full week to bring you all the latest on mobile computing, starting with Storage Solutions, then CES.  We'll cover both the show floor, various press events and CntrStg.

I'm sure we'll meet up with many of you at the usual press events such as CES Unveiled, Digital Experience (my favorite part of CES) and ShowStoppers.  Digital Experience is celebrating its 10th year at CES.  We've attended since 2000.  ShowStoppers has already closed registration.

This year there's a new kid in town, and its name is CntrStg.  This sounds like a great spot for bloggers to connect with other bloggers and representatives from many companies on a smaller and more personal scale than the CES show floor.  It's also where the annual Tablet get-together will be held.

Microsoft's Win7 is already causing a lot of buzz.  Integration of touch seems to be the promise.  We'll report on this more as different items are publicly available.

HP's MiniNote1000 is now available.  Check out the various models available.

We've taken a closer look at the HP's Pavilion Entertainment Notebook (and Tablet PC!) - the tx2500.  See the improvements here.

While in Austin, Texas I attended AMD's Tech Day 2008.  The event was more than anticipated. There's so much information that I've dedicated a full page to it.  Find it here!

I also had an opportunity to visit Motion Computing.  The Motion M1200 was my first 'Editor's Favorite Award' winner.  Watch for news from Motion on July 1.  In the meantime, check out our article that notes what some of the people at Motion had to say here.

Although you may not have won the Dragon that we gave away, HP has made it more affordable for you to purchase one. 

The starting pricing associated with the HP Pavilion HDX Entertainment series (a.k.a., HP Dragon) on the HP Home and Home Office Store has been lowered to $1,399.99 effective now.  Check www.hpshopping.com.

Chris Flores, a Director at Microsoft who works with the Windows Client Communications Team gives more information on the Windows Vista Blog.  This is great news for those of us who have been using ink and touch on our Tablets.  Having the operating system even more tightly integrated is great news!

Tablet PCs are continuing to change the way we use computers. They’ll continue to do so and in more ways than we’re currently envisioning. As this year has progressed, our expectations of more innovations in features and size and even more availability and features galore, including dual core processors and better graphics were realized.

Tablet PCs are not only alive and well, they're thriving. Sales are better than they've ever been and are consistently improving.  Windows Vista will bring more computers that use Tablet and Touch Technology to consumers. 

2008 will bring changes to our site, so please watch for them.
