iPod Touch 2G Case by Carrymobile review – Rubberized Hard case (Sleeve Type)

Paul Merak — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 08:01:43 +0000

iPod Touch is a great MID and entertainment device. I love using it to browse the Internet and for listening and watching my media on-the-go. But, one thing that I did not like about is its slippery back. Unfortunately, Apple does not supplies any kind of case for it. So, I had to turn to third party case vendors to *save* my iPod Touch from getting slipped from my hands.

I was looking for something that would NOT cover the front of the device and would just cover the back of the unit. I also wanted rubberized grip so that it does not slip out of my hands. I hovered over Carrymobile’s online shop and found the case that met my needs.

6-cell battery for HP 2140 –a must have!

Paul Merak — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 12:53:17 +0000

One fellow member at myhpmini forums has bought a 6-cell battery for his HP mini 2140 off ebay and he has been able to get pretty decent battery life from it. He used USB mobile broadband card in 2140 all the time and kept his netbook in power saving mode to get nearly 5-6 hours of battery life from it. No doubt, he recommends the 6-cell battery to everyone.

It makes me wonder why some manufactures are still shipping netbooks with 3-cell batteries which are not able to give you more than 2 hours of active usage. My EEE 1000H came with a 6-cell 6600mAh battery and I am able to get nearly 5.5 hours in Vista with mobile broadband on at all the time.

You can get a 6-cell battery for the HP Mini 2140 from HERE. They ship worldwide
