Before there were netbooks running Linux and Windows XP, there were handheld PCs, running EPOC or Windows CE software. They may not have been able to run full fledged desktop applications like Firefox, Office, or OpenOffice.org, but they were good enough to give you some mobile computing power on the go. But for some reason, […]

3K Razorbook 400 running Windows CE – Video
 With Quarta announcing plans to shoehorn Windows CE onto netbooks including the Acer Aspire one and Lenovo IdeaPad S9, I decided it was time for another look at a netbook that’s actually designed to run Windows CE. The 3K Razorbook 400 (which goes by many different names in many different countries) is a tiny little […]
Windows CE coming to the Acer Aspire One, Lenovo S9
Part of what makes a netbook exciting is the fact that it runs a full fledged operating system like Linux or Windows XP. Unlike clamshell PDAs and “handheld PCs” of the past that ran EPOC, or Windows CE, you can run virtually every modern application on a computer like the Acer Aspire One. But what […]
$89 MenQ EasyPC makes $98 HiVision laptop look expensive
If you thought the $98 HiVision NB0700 was cheap, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Because the MenQ EasyPC E760 is almost 10% cheaper. Sure, that only amounts to a $9 difference, but why settle for a $98 laptop when you can get one for $89? The MenQ EasyPC was on display at the IFA show […]
Albatron Tee PC: Not your average Eee PC clone
While most Eee PC-killers actually look and act a bit like a PC, the Tee PC looks a bit more like a rear view mirror. But aside from the fact that it has a suspiciously familiar sounding name, it’s probably best to think of the upcoming mini-tablet as a highly evolved PDA rather than a […]
Jointech JL7100 won’t really sell for $99
While there’s no doubt that the Windows CE-based Jointech JL7100 is pretty cheap by subnotebook, or even PDA standards, it appears that this Eee PC look-a-like might not be quite as inexpensive as I’d originally reported. While the product page proclaims the JL7100 costs just $99, it turns out you need to order in bulk […]
Jointech JL7100: A $99 laptop or a glorified PDA?
Maybe the Asus Eee PC never hit the mythical $200 price point, but that doesn’t mean you can’t pick up a laptop style device with a 7 inch display for a low, low price. In fact, Jointech appears to have even the OLPC project beat. While the XO Laptop still costs somewhere between a C […]
3K RazorBook 400 to come in Linux or Windows CE flavors
The 3K RazorBook, with its 400MHz processor probably isn’t going to best the MSI Wind, Acer Aspire One, or Eee PC 901 in any speed contests. But the tiny laptop with its custom version of Linux and $299 price tag is certainly a viable alternative for someone who wants to do some light word processing […]
