HP Mini Guide

HP have announced that a massive update for their Mini range of netbooks. The HP Mini 210 is getting a major refresh with a new Intel Atom N550 dual-core CPU as well as a major redesign in the trunk. Don't fret though, the beautiful chiclet-style keyboard, modern design and also Broadcom Crystal accelerator options are all still there.

The new HP Mini 210 will be available in both single-core and dual core options starting from $330.

The business-orientated Mini 5103 is also getting a similar upgrade to the Atom N550, as well as now coming with HPs instant-on OS, "Day Starter", although chances are you will stick with a vanilla OS install. These updates will bring the HP Mini line up with competitors such as Asus and Lenovo.

HP have recently submitted a trademark application for the term "PalmPad", Engadget reports. Although we can only speculate what this trademark request is for, it's pretty obvious that HP seem to be planning some sort of tablet device, possibly with the webOS they gained the rights to with their acquisition of Palm? HP have been very quiet and totally dissolved the original planned HP Tablet running Windows 7.

Hopefully this means we will see some HP Tablet media arising soon.
