Some new information about the new Dell Mini 10

There are still some details missing such as an expected launch date and what, if any, other upgrades can be expected to the existing hardware. It can be expected that Dell will launch the WiMax models with compatibility with Clear and Sprint, as they are currently the only widely available 4G network providers.
An FCC filing from Dell leaked some new information about the new Mini 10 that is expected to be released later this year. The upgraded netbook will feature Intel’s latest WiFi-Link 6250, which incorporates 4G WiMax and 802.11n wireless support onto a single chip.
The 10.1-inch Dell weighs 2.6 pounds and sports an Intel Atom Z520 processor. Other specs include a 160GB hard drive, 1GB of RAM, 1.3MP webcam, integrated Intel 500 graphics, a 5-in-1 media card reader, Bluetooh, WiFi, and Windows XP Home. In other words, nothing sexy like a dual-booting Android platform or anything else to separate the Mini 10 from the standard netbook fare.
While not particularly exciting, it's hard to argue with the price. Just be sure to factor in the cost of the service agreement, which includes 5GB of data for $60 per month. That comes out to an extra $1,440 over the next two years.

Battery drainage complaints in Windows 7

These types of issues also plagued Vista and were supposed to be addressed in Windows 7. Towards that end, Microsoft said it was investigating the potential problem, noting that part of the issue relates to the BIOS. According to a Microsoft spokesman, the appearance of error messages suggesting that users replace a perfectly good battery is likely a BIOS issue and the result of Windows 7 pulling data from the PC's firmware.
Battery drainage complaints in Windows 7 are nothing new and have been noted by users dating back to the OS's beta testing days. The issue is particularly problematic for netbook users.
The reports mostly come from users on Microsoft's TechNet forum, who complain of reductions in battery life from two hours down to 30 minutes, and in some cases, even less. There have also been complaints of batteries not fully recharging, and some have even claimed that their laptop batteries are forever damaged by whatever drainage problem might be occurring.
Redmond, we have a problem. According to several user reports, Windows 7 inherited Vista's poor power management when it comes to laptop battery life. Its the NSA spyware platform called either Vista or Windows 7 continually tracking all usage patterns and logging all keystrokes to disk in encrypted format as well as transferring said data accross the network as needed by the antichrist!For other laptop accessories information, you can visit here: Dell PA-12 AC Adapter(Input: AC100-240V,Output: DC19.5V 3.34A )HP Pavilion DV6000 AC Adapter bullet(HP pavilion dv6000)HP Pavilion DV9000 AC Adapter bullet(HP dv9000)Toshiba PA3467U-1ACA AC Adapter(PA3467U-1ACA)Dell NADP-90KB AC Adapter (NADP-90KB)Dell pa-16 AC Adapter(PA-16 )Acer PA-1700-02 AC Adapter(PA-1700-02)

Nokia batteries need 'breakthrough'

Lamenting the current state of smartphone battery life, he noted that most high-performance models with large screens do not last more than eight hours of constant usage on a single charge....
HELSINKI--It will take years and a technology "breakthrough on multiple fronts" before the battery lives of smartphones will reach "good" levels, according to the head of Nokia's research center, Henry Tirri.
By "good," Tirri meant phones that can last on a weekly power charge, which will support battery utilization closer to what basic phone models require today, he said at a media interview here Tuesday.
As a present Storm and iPhone 3G owner, and former E62 and 6270 owner the battery life of the few S60/S40 devices absofrickinlutely blow away RIM/Palm/Apple devices. As a road warrior and user of an ATTWS data card I'm seriously looking into picking up an E72 or E71 for tethering to and email notifications - I know that the E devices will outlast my smartphones by at least 2-3 days and I won't feel tethered (no pun) to a battery charger.
Even though I have a desktop cradle to sync and charge my HTC Touch Pro, if I have more than 1 or 2 calls on it the battery won't last until the next morning. Last Sunday morning it was displaying a message about the battery charge being extremely low. I dropped it in the charger and it took the longest amount of time ever to get completely charged, more than 4 and 1/2 hours. I used to get extended life batteries for previous phones, but have yet to find one for this.

Are Thousands of Hours of Non-Stop Power Possible?

The group of scientists estimates that the batteries can be made to be more powerful, as well as rechargeable, within several years; even citing the possibility that this groundbreaking technology could be used for electric vehicle batteries within a decade.
The group of scientists, whose findings are published in the October 2009 issue of Electrochemistry Communications, have apparently developed a a new silicon-air battery capable of supplying non-stop power for thousands of hours without needing to be replaced. As noted in a post by reliableplant, such batteries would be lightweight, have an unlimited shelf life, and have a high tolerance for both humid and extremely dry conditions.
“Silicon-air batteries will be used like the ones already in use today,” says lead researcher Professor Yair Ein-Eli of the Department of Materials Engineering. “But by using silicon – a safe, non-toxic, stable and more common material – we can create verylightweight batteries with infinite shelf life and high energy capacity.”
Silicon-air batteries would provide significant savings in cost and weight because they lack the built-in cathode of conventional batteries. The cathode in silicon-air (and metal-air) batteries is the oxygen that comes from the atmosphere through the membrane. Potential uses include medical applications (for example, powering diabetic pumps or hearing aids), sensors and microelectronics structured from silicon.
A battery that would last for thousands of hours between charges while qualifying as environmentally friendly would truly be considered revolutionary. According to a team of scientists from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, such a battery may become a reality within several years.

Gateway's New Notebooks, 8-hour Batteries

In a statement, Acer (who owns Gateway) Senior Manager of Product Marketing, Ray Sawall, said, “The new Gateway EC Series product lines were designed for the many PC users that have embraced the fun and productivity of being able to compute and stay in touch while away from their home or office.” We’ll have to wait and see if consumers agree, but at least this is yet another interesting product offering coinciding with the Windows 7 launch.
Gateway has announced a new thin-and-light notebook lineup for the release of Windows 7 on the 22nd. The series is comprised of the EC58, EC54, and EC14. All will run Windows Home Premium, and will have multitouch trackpads. Gateway is also claiming that all the notebooks are capable of 8 hours of battery life.
The EC58 and EC54 are 15.6 inch laptops with high definition, LED-backlit screens. They run Pentium Dual Core SU4100 series CPUs, offering very low power consumption. They are, however, running an Intel integrated graphics solution. The units will have 4GB of DDR3 RAM loaded as well. The EC14 has a smaller 11.6 inch HD display, LED-backlit, and weighs in at a bit over 3 pounds. Otherwise, the specs are very similar. The EC58/54 will start at $649.99 and the EC14 will go for $549.99.
For the Windows faithful, it’s been a tough eight years. With the launch of Windows XP in 2001, we thought we were poised on a brink of a new world of NT-based goodness—but two years and uncountable exploits later, the future of Windows was grim. Facing a never-ending torrent of new ‘sploits, worms, and trojans, Microsoft fired back with the single greatest operating system update of all time—Service Pack 2.
Of course, we all know how Vista turned out. Haunted by poor performance in everything from games to disk access to networking, Vista is widely considered to be Microsoft’s biggest failure. Nonetheless, Vista laid the groundwork for a host of new technologies, all absolutely vital to pushing Windows into the 21st century.

Lithium-Ion Battery Flights

While many of the major industries around the world are singing praises for lithium-ion batteries and the capabilities and opportunities they present, one major industry in particular has grown weary of a slight risk that has been associated with the ultra-popular battery chemistry.
The Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l, the largest pilots union in the world, has called on the U.S. government and Federal Aviation Administration to halt the shipment of lithium-ion batteries, as well as products containing the batteries, from all passenger and cargo planes until new regulations are in place to ensure the safe transport of what they call “hazardous” materials.
Three incidents in particular have been sited among the ALPA’s call for the halt of lithium-ion batteries in cargo and passenger flights. Apparently flights containing e-cigarettes, used batteries, and another that was carrying a shipment of lithium-ion “bicycle-power devices” resulted in fire, smoke, or evidence of fire in just the past two months.
So far the FAA has said they’re isn’t enough evidence to take any immediate action. With that being said, the ALPA says they are prepared to take their battle to congress if their calls for restrictions go unheard.
ALPA calls on the agencies charged with protecting the public from hazardous materials to issue an immediate ban on lithium battery shipments to protect airline passengers, crews and cargo until the proper safety regulations are in place and can be enforced,” said ALPA’s President, Capt. John Prater.
