HP launches Mini 5101 portable mini PC


HP Mini 5101

HP raises the curtains off its new portable Mini PC dubbed Mini 5101, a combination of style, functionality and durability for professionals who need to travel frequently.

This PC sports soft-touch paint on the palm rest and the base. Its spill resistant comfortable keyboard is about 95 percent of a standard QWERTY keyboard. The open and spacious keyboard keys are a bit raised from the surface, thereby enabling greater ease and comfort while typing. The HP DuraKeys’ coating on the keys makes it fifty fold greater resistant to visible wear than the standard keyboards without it.

HP Mini PCs have no equal when it comes to industrial design, use of innovative materials and overall feature sets.

Samsung Jet hits gold with 2 million pre-orders

Just one week from its release and Samsung has already received 2 million pre-orders for its Jet smartphone, reports Electronista. This status puts the Jet way ahead of its rivals like LG.

Looks like the Jet has proved to be a good omen for Samsung, as this is the first time that the company has touched the 2m mark before the phone is launched. Promising to be more efficient than a smartphone, the Samsung Jet is a high-end device with advanced capabilities.

Formerly known as simply the Cubic, the Samsung Jet S8000 Cubic was announced last weeks along with the Omnia foursome. It’s been billed as being “smarter than a smartphone”, and apparently, this new tagline has worked wonders for Samsung as they’ve just announced that 2 million pre-orders have been placed for this particular phone. For the record, the Samsung Jet S8000 is now available in the UK via Vodafone so this could be a contributing factor, but still, 2 million pre-orders for a phone that has yet to prove its mettle in real-world situations is pretty impressive to say the least. Furthermore, with the inclusion of a 3.1-inch AMOLED display, 5-megapixel camera, WiFi, GPS, HSDPA connectivity, 2GB internal memory and a blazing 800MHz processor, we can exactly blame if you’re one of those who already pre-ordered the Jet.

The Samsung Jet S8000 Cubic should start shipping within the month to 50 countries across the globe including the US. With 2 million pre-orders already on queue, it’s probably safe to assume that the Samsung Jet won’t have a hard time flying off store shelves once it becomes commercially available.

Father'Day: Gift idea!!

Today, that we celebrate Father's Day so happily and proudly for having a father and honouring our fathers for their contribution in our life and father figures make to the lives of their children, I am proud to say that I am a daughter of my father.

Well, Father's day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June, each year. Now, that we celebrate this day, I am just thinking what should I gift him to let him know that I love him so much. Though, gifts are a part of Father's Day. But sometimes it's difficult to find the perfect gift ideas that say, "I love you dad, and I appreciate all the sacrifices you have done for me..".

Our father always gave us his best, so I am thinking few gift idea which would be the very best for our father to make him feel special.

First thing comes in my mind is an "Auto Card Manager", this allows a person to carry all of his important cards; ID, driver's license, debit cards, credit cards, and cash, all in one functional, stylish and compact device. The auto card manager will help stay organised, save time, and keep his plastic cards intact for good by protecting them from cracking.Pics: An Auto Card Manager

Second is a "Bridle Leather Dress Wallet", although trendy, these are not too practical if he tends to keep his wallet in the back pocket of his pants, it will make him feel like a million bucks.

Third one is a "Watch", if your father is still wearing that old 10-year-old watch, it's time to replace it with a timepiece that speaks volumes about a man's style and taste. Let your father know that you appreciate the time he took to raise you with values because as you get older, time flies by quickly, and with this new watch, it'll fly in style and your father will remember you every time he checks the time.

I hope among these gifts you could choose a proper and special gift for your father along with me and this father's day gift idea will surely make your father feel special.

Happy' Father Day!!
