"[But] Starter is an entry version and doesn’t have many of the consumer or business features. The three application limit isn’t there anymore."I still expect most of the netbook manufactures going after the Windows 7 starter or Windows 7 Basic version to keep the costs as low as possible.Click on read more to know what features you would missing in Starter and Basic versions]]> http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/confirmed-no-restrictions-in-windows-7-for-netbooks/feed/ 6 http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/11-6-netbook-enote-turnkey-solution-to-be-launched-by-via-packs-wimax/ http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/11-6-netbook-enote-turnkey-solution-to-be-launched-by-via-packs-wimax/#comments Tue, 15 Sep 2009 08:02:15 +0000 Twinkle http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=8940 http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/11-6-netbook-enote-turnkey-solution-to-be-launched-by-via-packs-wimax/feed/ 1 http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/xp-lives-netbook-vendors-will-be-able-to-get-xp-for-an-year-after-the-release-of-windows-7/ http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/xp-lives-netbook-vendors-will-be-able-to-get-xp-for-an-year-after-the-release-of-windows-7/#comments Thu, 30 Apr 2009 19:09:44 +0000 Paul Merak http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=5341 "OEMs that are using Windows XP on netbooks will have the ability to install Windows XP for one year — 12 months — after Windows 7 general availability,"What a great news this is for the netbook vendors! This means that XP won't be vanishing after the release of Windows 7, which should be out in January 2009. Long live XPOn the other hand, we won't be able to see a lot of netbooks officially running Windows 7 as the Windows XP is available for just $15 to the netbook vendors (some say, it is even lower). This helps them to bundle XP with their netbooks at a pretty low price. It is a quite obvious that whenever Windows 7 becomes availbble, Microsoft will be charging a lot more than $15 licence fee per netbook from the vendors. This would ultimately increase the overall cost of the netbook, which can give free operating systems, say Linux, a pretty good chance to take away some share from Microsoft.]]> http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/xp-lives-netbook-vendors-will-be-able-to-get-xp-for-an-year-after-the-release-of-windows-7/feed/ 56 http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/arm-netbook-coming-to-att/ http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/arm-netbook-coming-to-att/#comments Sat, 25 Apr 2009 12:13:30 +0000 Paul Merak http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=5248 “There are a lot of people who will dive in and build netbooks, including folks like cellular or wireless OEMs who never built a computer before. There will be a lot of innovation around what a netbook looks like and what the use cases are, and we will see this evolve very quickly,” He thinks that the ARM based netbooks would do just fine as people are doing their work via Cloud-based applications and thus do not need a lot of horsepower in their netbooks. He also showed keen interest in the MIDs, which he refers to as "smartphones on steroids."AT&T is already selling four subsidized netbooks: Acer Aspire One, Dell Mini 9, Dell Mini 12 and LG X110.PS: Lurie also manages AT&T's relationship with Apple to sell the iPhone in the U.S.]]> http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/arm-netbook-coming-to-att/feed/ 2 http://gadgetmix.com/windows-mobile/asus-after-linux-on-netbooks-now-linux-on-mobile-phones-too/ http://gadgetmix.com/windows-mobile/asus-after-linux-on-netbooks-now-linux-on-mobile-phones-too/#comments Tue, 21 Apr 2009 20:23:52 +0000 Paul Merak http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=5185 http://gadgetmix.com/windows-mobile/asus-after-linux-on-netbooks-now-linux-on-mobile-phones-too/feed/ 0
