It was inevitable, was it not? With the success of HP’s 2133 Mini-Note, it was pretty obvious that the outfit would be working up a second edition, and according to Jerel Chong, HP Australia’s Market Development Manager for Notebook PCs, it’s already “looking at a similar device but at a lower cost.” Reportedly, the lower cost low-cost laptop will be ready for budget-conscience consumers sometime before 2009, though we have no idea what corners will be cut in order to hack down the price. Mr. Chong did mention that the cheaper edition would be less “durable,” but considering that we never viewed the original as a Toughbook replacement, we’re not so sure what he’s really getting at. Nevertheless, those looking seriously at the more business-minded 2133 may want to hold off, but good luck suppressing that insatiable desire to be instantly gratified.

The folks over at Maximum PC have gotten themselves a chance to go face-to-face (and tongue-to-laptop) with Voodoo’s newest show-off — the Envy 133 — and they’ve shared with the rest of the world. There’s not much to say based on these pictures, save that they clearly were stoked to be getting this close to the sexed-up excuse for maxing out a credit card. If you hit the read link, you’ll catch a slew of pictures, some size compar...
Apple Plugs Hole in the iPhone Store SortingPost Date: 2008-07-17 16:05:01
In case you have missed it, in last week’s iPhone Apps Store launch fog-of-war, some developers found that adding an invisible character (the good old alt+255?) at the beginning of their application name would get them on top of the alphabetically-sorted list. That was a Rookie mistake from Apple that has been fixed now, as Apple is probably checking and removing such invisible characters. Now the only way to get you application’s name on top is to give it a name starting wi...
