I’ve been enjoying using the HP 2140 Mini Note. It’s small, light, and quite easy to use thanks to its near full size keyboard. My unit came with a three cell battery which allows the unit to maintain its low profile.
Fashion Week with HP and Vivienne Tam
On February 18th and 19th, I was part of a group of mostly female bloggers who were brought to New York to meet Vivienne Tam and learn more about the HP / Vivienne Tam Mini Note collaboration. Our first day consisted of a whirlwind New York City tour… That night we were invited to the [...]
In New York for Fashion Week with HP and Vivienne Tam
Today has been a long day starting with the early morning wakeup, drive to San Angelo, and then flights to Dallas and then to New York. The reason for all the fuss is that I am one of approximately twenty bloggers who have been invited to attend several Vivienne Tam events happening during New York’s [...]
HP2140- My First Hack
One of the things that has been most significant since I made the move to using Apple’s products almost exclusively, is the fact that I have become very spoiled. I now want and expect electronics that not only work well, but also have a high degree of polished aesthetics, so that when I use the [...]
HP Voice Messenger
Here is HP‘s newest Voice Messenger, a Windows Mobile Standard (non-touchscreen) device that continues the iPAQ brand, albeit without the touchscreen. Don’t get me started on how much I miss the iPAQs of yore…
HP 2140 In The House
Chris and I have been having quite a good time tweaking our MSI Wind netbooks. Both of us have run Mac OSX and Chris, who’s been a bit more aggressive in his hacking, now has his device booting with three different operating systems. Why then, you might ask, is my MSI Wind now in the [...]
CES 2009: Getting Ready
This morning Kevin and I loaded up for the drive to Midland and then the flight to Vegas. We’ll be here until Sunday, covering CES events as well as a tiny bit of the AEE, which runs at the same time. What did I bring along? I am planning to use the HP Mini (Tam, [...]
The HP Mini 1140NR Vivienne Tam Edition Is Here!
This smoking hot little red laptop showed up today, and I figured I ought to share some photos before I got prints from my eager fingers all over it. Have a look at the HP Mini (1140NR) Vivienne Tam edition; possibly the most fashionable netbook ever…
I Can’t Believe I’m Using… An HP Mini-Note 1000
Call me what you will- Apple-Fan-Boy, Mac-Convert, Lemming- regardless, I have happily been using Apple products pretty much exclusively for a little over a year now. It started with my Gen 1 iPhone in August of 2007 and it has been downhill (uphill??) ever since. That “gateway drug” led me to a white 2.2 ghz [...]
HTC Shift Review Part 3: The Finale
About a week ago I sent the Shift review unit back, so I figured it’s time to tie up my thoughts on this controversial device. Prior to receiving the Shift, I read several reviews of the device, and they all seemed to sing the same tune: it was too slow and too expensive. In my [...]
Unboxing the HTC Advantage 7510
This is going to be a much quicker unboxing than I usually like to do, mainly because it is almost 3am Texas time, and I have to be up in 5 hours to get ready for the next Mobius session. Anyway! After our dinner tonight, Matt Miller, Ed Hardy, Joel Evans and I met up [...]
Mobius Seattle 2008: Day One, Second Half, HTC
Eric Lin, who is himself a former member of Mobius, spoke to us about the new HTC Diamond’s evolution, as well as his new role with the company. Eric said that we can expect to see many more innovative devices coming from HTC, but the Diamond is their first foray into the fashion phone market. [...]
GearChat: Windows Mobile…Yeah, We Went There
Judie: Here’s how it all started. I got a press release from Kevin Doel regarding FlipSide, a new Windows Mobile MP3 Player which features “”Swooshing” Album Art as Part of Acclaimed Visual Interface.” FlipSide, the MP3 player from Electric Pocket that has had BlackBerry users buzzing, is now available to users of Windows Mobile devices [...]
The HTC Hermes / Dopod 838Pro Review

They are the world’s largest manufacturer of Pocket PC and Smartphone OS based PDAs, and as such they are responsible for many of the more recognizable devices which are rebranded by companies including Hewlett-Packard, [...]
