GBM InkShow: HP QuickWeb on the HP Elitebook 2760p

The HP Elitebook 2760p convertible notebook features a quick-start option called HP QuickWeb. It?s a rebrand of the Splashtop ?instant-on? OS, which is itself based on Chromium OS. It?s a nice option, but I?m not sure it delivers on all its supposed benefits. This post is one in a multi-post review of the HP Elitebook 2760p. Please click here for more. For iOS-friendly downloads, click here for SD and here for 720p HD. How quick is QuickWeb? As the name implies, HP QuickWeb is intended to be a quick way of getting to the Internet. Compared to cold booting Windows, it certainly has the advantage here, launching in 10-15 seconds (in my testing) compared to nearly 45 seconds for Windows to reach operational level without using login security...

Google?s Design Lead Talks About Developing On Ice Cream Sandwich

Android was obviously a hot topic at today?s Mobile First CrunchUp (just ask Chamillionaire). There was a lot of discussion on the difficulty Android developers face when designing for Android. During an earlier panel, Tech Crunch even went as far asking why iPhone apps simply look better than Android apps. With the day winding to a close and during the last roundtable session Mike Isaac from Wired threw out another question to Matias Duarte, Google?s design lead, regarding the next version of Android (Ice Cream Sandwich). He wanted to know how ICS would help developers produce better looking apps across the many form factors Android has to adapt to like Google TV, phones and tablets. Duarte explained that things will continue to get better...

Revolutionary Brings S-Off and Recovery to the HTC Sensation, EVO 3D, and More

Thanks to the folks behind Unrevoked and AlphaRev the HTC Sensation and EVO 3D now have permanent S-Off and NAND write access, a feat some felt might never be accomplished due to a locked bootloader. The tool called Revolutionary will do the same for most modern HTC handsets including the Desire, Desire S, Incredible S (and Droid Incredible 2), and Flyer tablet. Support is in the works for the HTC Thunderbolt Revolutionary is currently in developer preview, so it isn?t 100 percent ready for deployment (you may experience some bugs), but for those Sensation and EVO 3D owners tired of waiting it just might be worth it.

Go Thin with the Zeroz Wallet

by Julie on July 29, 2011 � 5 comments in Gear,News Lately I have been obsessed with finding cool wallets to show you guys. Today?s contribution is the Zeroz Wallet. Their motto is Less Wallet, More Cool. Basically, the Zeroz is a card holder with a stretchy cash strap secured to one side. They are available in 4 different thickness to accommodate more or less cards. I can?t really tell from the website how you retrieve the cards from the wallet though. I guess you just poke your finger in one side to push them out. The Zeroz wallets are available in several colors and designs and are priced from $26-$30. If there?s anyone out there that happens to own one, please let us know what you think. Col. Littleton Front Pocket Wallets Review...

New Information Says Samsung QWERTY Slider Won?t Be AT&T?s Galaxy S II

Not so fast! Looks like that upcoming Samsung QWERTY slider headed for AT&T isn?t the Galaxy S II, after all. BGR, who broke the story initially, has received a correction from one of their sources and is now reporting that the sexy slider is a different handset altogether. The confusion arose from the recycling of an old model number initially associated with the Galaxy S II. So AT&T subscribers will be getting the same slim, keyboard-free Galaxy S II headed to other carriers (though it may be slightly retooled), but now we must question where this QWERTY handset fits in. Will it still be partially based on the Galaxy S II spec sheet? Or will it be something a bit more mid-range? We wouldn?t mind AT&T offering this slider as...

Microsoft Pokes Fun at Gmail (and Google) In This Corporate Parody Video

Came across this video today on YouTube of an internal corporate parody video shown during a Microsoft global sales conference that took place on July 20th. Looks like Microsoft is taking a few jabs at Google and poking fun at their Gmail ads and prying eyes when it comes to your inbox. I actually thought it was pretty funny ? especially after the awesome Gmail update Google dropped on us today. If I saw the Gmail Man walking down the street, I could kiss him. What do you guys think? Good, lighthearted fun? Or a cheap blow from Microsoft? Oh- and what the heck is Office 365? Is that anything like Disney 365? [Via Gizmodo] Click Here Read More...

Motorola Prepping Atrix HD for AT&T

It looks like Motorola may be working on a successor the the Motorola Atrix 4G Android smartphone for U.S. wireless carrier AT&T. In addition to the speculated GSM variant of the Droid Bionic for AT&T, a new Motorola device was posted on Flickr with very similar aesthetics to the current-generation Atrix 4G. The device was referred to as the Droid HD, but as Verizon Wireless currently owns the Droid brand license for smartphones, AT&T?s device may be released under a different moniker. The device is said to have a 720p HD display with a 720 X 1280 resolution. The screen size is currently not known at this point. The screen itself appears to have a curved glass surface. Gone from the original Atrix 4G is the fingerprint scanner...
