HP releases no-frills HP 510 notebook
Not everyone is down with latest and greatest hardware -- or they just can't afford it -- and it's definitely not the dual-core-and-SLI crowd HP is targeting with its new HP 510 laptop. The 15-incher features just about what you'd expect from a $565 notebook computer, so specs like 'Celeron M.' 'integrated graphics,' and '1GB max RAM' should come as little surprise. You're still getting all the basics here, though, including a 60GB hard drive, b/g WiFi, a passable WXGA resolution and 512MB of RAM, and a DVD combo drive. Not one we'd show off to the ladies or anything, but it'll get the job done, and it's available immediately. [Via PC Launches]
HP iPaq 510 Voice Messenger handset gets reviewed
Ready for HP's latest iPaq -- that does not even resemble a traditional iPaq? HP's new "iPaq Voice Messenger" device is, well, just that -- a newer cellphone with a traditional numeric keypad. Normal features from "smarter" phones are in there, like the new Windows Mobile 6 and of course built-in WiFi. What is new about this baby, according to HP's marketing machine? The 510 has HP's "Voice Commander" so that it can read emails through the loudspeaker and respond to voice commands that control just about anything on the unit itself -- like those in cars that can't stop working even while they are driving. Now that's multitasking -- and it's more safe than navigating to your Outlook server while driving, even with the best d-pad there is. You can even compose an "audio email" via voice control (sweet, we think). EDGE comes standard (wha -- no HSDPA?) and Laptop Review has a pretty good impression of the device with all it has onboard (like HTML email). Will it fly off shelves?
