    An HP Mini Netbook That Keeps On Going

    The HP Mini 5102 is a netbook that comes with a 10-inch touchscreen, a long-lasting battery life, and features that can simplify some tasks. The only problem is that it takes a long time to set this netbook up.


    Click to enlarge

    The 5102 is available in three colours (Black, Red, and Blue) and sports a brushed aluminium lid. It is well-constructed and can probably withstand accidental bumps. Like any other netbook, the 5102 has a small profile (262 x 180 x 24.8 mm) and does not weigh a lot (starting at 1.2kg), which makes it perfect for on the go users.

    The Mini 5102 has three USB ports, an SD/MMC card reader, a headphone and microphone jack, Ethernet port, and D-Sub out. A Wi-Fi adapter (802.11 a/b/g/n) and Bluetooth 2.1+ are also onboard the 5102. In terms of hardware, the 5102 runs on a 1.66 Ghz Intel Atom processor, has 2GB of RAM, 320GB hard drive, and a 6-cell Lithium-Ion battery that can last up to 10 hours.

    Opening the lid reveals a well-spaced chiclet keyboard, a 10.1-inch LED-backlit HD 16:9 widescreen with a native resolution of 1366 x 768, and a 2 megapixel web camera used for video conferencing. The keyboard is responsive and maintained a similar layout to a full-sized keyboard. We did not have a hard time using the small touchpad, although its piano black finish was susceptible to fingerprints.

    Setting the unit up for the first time takes a while, so be prepared to spend about an hour and a half just to get everything up and running. The 5102 runs on Windows 7 Professional and is pre-installed with Corel Home Office, various HP tools (such as QuickSync, Wireless Assistant, and ProtectTools), McAfee Total Protection, Microsoft Office (60-day Trial), PDF complete, Roxio, and WinZip.

    Since the 5102 runs on Windows 7 Professional, users may find it a bit slow compared to other netbooks being sold in the market. In order to speed things up, we recommend uninstalling unneeded bloatware. Since the 5102 comes with 2GB of RAM, it is able to do perform a couple of tasks without grinding down to a halt. The 10.1-inch touchscreen was a good addition, although it was not as responsive as we hoped it would be.

    HP has included two programs that allow users to check calendar entries or surf the Internet without having to boot up the OS. The QuickLook and Quickweb buttons are located on the upper left side up the notebook for easy access.

    The Mini 5102 lasted for 310 minutes in our battery drain test (max brightness and volume while playing a video on loop), which means that it can probably last the whole day if used wisely.

    Overall, the HP Mini 5102 is a great home/office notebook as it has noteworthy specifications, long battery life, and solid build quality. The Mini 5102 is available now starting from $599.

    Blockbuster Oz Experiences Rental Growth

    The Franchise Entertainment Group announced that its 320 Blockbuster stores achieved 3.5 per cent rental business growth in the 2009 calendar year.The company said that while the US Based Blockbuster International Incorporated has a poor financial reporting, it had no bearing on Blockbuster’s Australian stores. It also found its growth ‘encouraging particularly at a time when household budgets were under significant pressure.’

    Franchise Entertainment Group’s Managing Director, Paul Uniacke said, “Blockbuster Australia continues to deliver strong revenue from its millions of loyal home rental customers. The brand is well placed and continues to invest, innovate and grow in 2010.”

    “Blockbuster will be making some exciting announcements in the second quarter on how it will take home entrainment to the next level, delivering a wider range of choice and greater value to our customers,” added Uniacke.

    The Blockbuster brand in Australia is owned and managed under a 10-year licensing agreement with FEG. It is the franchisor of Blockbuster, EzyDVD and Video Ezy franchises, representing over 900 entertainment retail and rental businesses across Australia and New Zealand.

    New Telstra Service Simplifies Messaging

    Telstra will now allow users to combine email, voicemail, picture messaging, SMS, and multimedia communications in one online and mobile service.

    Called MyConnect, this new service aims to break down the traditional barriers between multiple messaging systems, allowing users to manage their phone messages and emails from any mobile phone or online.

    Group Managing Director, Telstra Consumer, David Moffatt said, “With MyConnect, customers have access to a truly integrated mobile and online messaging system. Sending email on your Next G mobile phone is now as simple as sending an SMS – using a single messaging folder for easy access.”

    “When a customer receives a picture message on their mobile phone and they are sitting at their PC using the internet, they can view the message on their computer screen in MyInbox. Similarly, if they’re out and about, they can still receive important emails on their Next G handset,” he added.

     

    MyConnect includes three new integrated services:

    • MyInbox – an online message, contact and calendar management centre where customers can access email, picture messaging, voicemail and videomail as well as send SMS, MMS and email – no subscription costs and access included in your Telstra or BigPond membership/plans.
    • MyEmail – provides access to up to five existing email accounts plus alerts of incoming mail on compatible Telstra Next G mobile handsets – $7 per month.
    • MySync – automatic daily backup of contacts from compatible Next G mobiles to a secure on-line website, and synchronisation with MyInbox – just $3 per month.

    MyConnect hosts all your MyInbox and other synchronised information in an online server, kept secure on Telstra’s networks.

    It is available now for Telstra Next G, BigPond and Telstra.com customers.

    Review: All-In-One HP PC Not So Touch Smart

    HP has joined the touch bandwagon by releasing a PC that has a touch-sensitive screen, allowing you to use your fingers to scroll through menus and files. But despite looking good on paper, and on TV commercials aired on primetime, the TouchSmart failed to impress us.


    Click to enlarge
    Sure, the TouchSmart software is easy to use and can give you a ‘hands-on’ experience while taking a look at photos and videos. But when it came to using the touch screen on Windows Vista, we were plagued with small icons that were hard to press and unresponsive icons that needed to be tapped over and over.

    Fortunately, HP has included a wireless keyboard and mouse with the package, making it easier for consumers to use the IQ508a for Windows-based programs.

    The unit sports a piano black finish and is on the heavy side as all of its major components are installed behind the touchscreen. Up front, users can find a 22-inch screen, built-in speakers, webcamera, and a ‘Home’ key that automatically launches the TouchSmart function.

     


    Click to enlarge
    The left spine hosts the ‘Ambient Light’ button that casts a cool white glow from the base of the computer, two USB ports, an audio line-in, and a headphone jack, while the unit’s power button, volume and mute controls, memory card reader, FireWire (IEEE 1394) port, and slot-loading CD/DVD drive can be found on the opposite side.

    Removing the connector cover at the back of the IQ508 reveals three additional USB ports, plus Ethernet and digital audio ports (SPDIF out), an audio line-out, TV-in, S-Video in, Stereo Audio in, and an IR Emitter. The unit’s computer stand, security lock slot, power connector, wireless mouse and keyboard receiver, and cable clip are also located at the back of the unit.

    The HP TouchSmart uses an Intel Core 2 Duo T5850 processor running at 2.16GHz, an Nvidia GeForce 9300M GS graphics card (256MB), 4GB of RAM, and 500GB of storage space. This means that the unit can handle games, video editing, or a TV show recording with minimal slowdowns.

    HP uses a Window’s Vista Home Premium 64-bit edition and comes pre-installed with HP’s Total Care Advisor and Update, Cyberlink’s YouCam, Muvee’s autoProducer, Norton’s Internet Security (Trial), as well as various Help and Tools software.

     


    Click to enlarge
    HP’s TouchSmart software is also included and is the major highlight of the PC. This software allows users to listen to their music, play stored videos, check the weather, write post-it notes, play games (like Spider Solitaire, Chess Titans, and Mahjong), and surf the Internet. The interface is divided into two major sections, with the one on top displaying live content. The touch-sensitive screen worked well for the main icons, but unfortunately we had some issues pressing (and dragging) the smaller icons on the screen.

    Since the unit comes with a built-in TV tuner, users can record TV shows directly to the hard drive and watch TV shows when they want to. It also comes with a built-in Wi-Fi, allowing users to stream/retrieve content from their existing home network.

    While the HP TouchSmart IQ508a offers a lot to consumers, it still needs a couple of firmware updates to provide the best touch experience possible. The HP TouchSmart IQ508a is now available but is exclusively sold at Harvey Normalns with an RRP of $2,499. If that price is too steep, users can opt to purchase the IQ505a that has downgraded specifications and a missing TV tuner for $1,999.

    See page over for product specifications and final rating.

    Internode has slashed the price of its Fibre To The Home broadband plan but will now count both downloaded and uploaded data in monthly quotas.From today, Internode is cutting 35 per cent from the price of its 100 megabit per second (Mbps) FTTH plan with a 100-gigabyte (GB) data quota – which drops by $65 to just $119.95. The company has also introduced three new fibre plans with 200 GB data quotas, costing from $129.95 to $159.95.

    In addition, Internode has also boosted data quotas across its Fibre plan range, starting with a 10GB data boost to its entry-level $49.95 plan, which now has a 15GB monthly data quota. Finally, the new plans will also have increased upstream speeds for data flowing from home to the Internet.

    However, the company said that in order to fairly account for the network capacity requirements of these increased upstream speeds, it will now “count both downloaded and uploaded data in monthly quotas on these new FTTH plans.”

    Internode’s Product Manager, Jim Kellett said, “As this technology moves from novelty to normality, market forces are starting to kick in. With our partner Opticomm, Internode is learning how our customers use their FTTH services and what services they most want.”

    “We are also starting to see increased business utilisation of our Fibre services, so we’ve made important changes to our range of SOHO plans such as introducing static IP addresses and offering quite radical upstream speeds, such as 16 Mbps for our 100 Mbps SOHO plans,” added Kellett.
