Mobile Tech Manor #26- home again
jkOnTheRun — ... I took the MacBook with me for those rare times I wanted to do something (and those times were rare indeed).  I wanted to take the evaluation HP Mini 1000 MI to give the Linux system a good road test but there is currently no way to use a 3G USB modem with it.  No drivers, no software, no way to do it.  Since I knew I’d be depending on the Verizon EV-DO network the HP stayed at home and the Mac got to go to Vegas. ...

HP Mini 1000 Mi gets video review
Engadget — ... HP's Mini 1000 Mi has been up for order since CES, but for those still waiting (and waiting) for a proper overview of the system before buying in can finally say that their patience has paid off. The netbook lovin' crew over at jkOnTheRun has ...

HP Mini 1000 turned into a MacBook Mini
jkOnTheRun — I have to admit that since getting exposed to the HP Mini 1000 and Mini 2140 the thought of turning them into a “Hackintosh” has entered my mind.  The small netbook form would be perfect to put OS X on and create a MacBook Mini. I may not get around to doing that no matter how tempting but others are stepping up to the plate and doing it for us all to see.  The Gadgeteer has recently turned an HP Mini 1000 into a MacBook Mini and have chronicled the process for us all to enjoy.  They have photos of the result as well as the conversion process ...

HP Updates Mini Netbook Line- Syncables Cable and HD Graphics Option
jkOnTheRun — ... It’s nice to see the hard drive speed get a boost from the 4200 RPM on the original Mini 1000. And come July, HP will offer an optional Broadcom Crystal HD Enhanced Video Accelerator for the Mini 110 XP model. The HP Mini 110 with Mi is essentially the same basic hardware but with HP’s custom Linux shell. Check our video review of this environment. You can actually get the Mi edition with 2GB of RAM, while the XP edition only works with 1GB of memory. ...

This Week at Mobile Tech Manor #59: It’s All About the Keyboard
jkOnTheRun — ... I switched around among four notebooks this week. That’s why I’m thinking about keyboards so much. Three of the devices had full-sized keyboards but one of them, the HP Mini 1000 netbook, had one that was only 92 percent of full size. It’s a great keyboard in every way; I am comfortable typing on the HP. It’s just that the slight size difference has an impact when switching between the Mini 1000 and the other notebooks. The impact is especially noticeable when going the other way — from a full keyboard to the scaled down version. It’s not bad, ...

This Week at Mobile Tech Manor #60: Nobel Prize Comes A-Calling
jkOnTheRun — ... I sat her down with my HP Mini 1000 netbook, and we quickly determined that it was exactly what she needed. The Mini 1000 is the smallest netbook on the market with a 10-inch screen and a near full keyboard. She took to the Mini like a duck to water, and she got excited thinking about how it could impact her work. She asked me where she could get one right away to get working the best way possible. ...

This Week in Mobile Tech Manor #64: Invasion of the Droid
jkOnTheRun — ... The other gadget I am going to part with is the HP Mini 1000 netbook. This was originally the Mini Mi version with Linux, but I have installed Windows 7 on it. I do not have the Linux restore media, but I think it can be downloaded if desired. I also have purchased an extended battery for it so the whole kit is: ...
