David Allen — Fri, 08 May 2009 16:00:00 +0000

There is no doubt that the computer maker Acer have been knocking out some seriously cool machines recently like this nine inch version and is probably the best one around for the size. It seems that this one could even be better than the ten inch version, because it is highly portable and has most the features too. The only problem with these mini laptops is that they take a long time to load up.

There has been a lot of talk over the recent changes to the IdeaPad S10-2; the casing has a more rounded feel to it, while there are some subtle changes to the keyboard, ports and LED lights.

Is Palm bringing the Foleo Back?

David Allen — Mon, 04 May 2009 11:00:55 +0000

For anyone that can remember, Palm brought out the Foleo a long time before the mini laptop turned up on the scene; these hand held clamshell devices offered the user a full QWERTY keyboard. The only difference was that the Foleo had to be used with conjunction with the Palm mobile phone in order to be connected. It seems that Palm be bring the Foleo back, but this time it will be a standalone device that is capable of connecting to the internet without the need for an external device. Currently this is only a rumour but it would seem a logical next move from Palm if they want o cash in on a very lucrative market place.
