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.
Go straight to the News.
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.

As news of Windows 7 starts to trickle out,
Microsoft is showing how the Surface technology may be included
in the next Windows release, making touch an important factor in
developing the new operating system.
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!
