Many asked these pics so here they are...

Upgrading in mind, SSD is mini zif so there is no room for 1.8 inch SSDs on 3G versions..

I have no info if non 3G versions have the pcie connector there, if not, there is room for 1.8 inchers.

Review video uploading now.. more on the video.

How-to: Internal 3G to Samsung NC10. The easy way


Click here to see more









Many of you have asked me to do NC10 3G mod, but as I don't have it and no one has wanted to do it remotely; here is the next best thing.

On many other netbooks and laptops you can't swap wifi card with 3G card, but on Samsung NC10 you can.

Basso tested and it's working fine. He also got a really small usb wifi dongle for wifi sessions, but if you mostly need your netbook while mobile, you don't need wifi anymore.

I would suggest a small hole to the bottom for easy SIM card swapping... or just taking the soldering gun to your hand and solder the 3G card straight to USB and power lines like I did with Dell Mini 9 Maybe Basso will do it later...

Thanks Basso! Jump to BassoPT's Ultra Mobile Computing for full read

Welcome to listen Meet Mobility Podcast no. 29 .
Join me, Steve and Sascha talking about mobile computing.

Continue reading...

Computex 2009.

ARM
MiDs netbooks and smartbooks
http://blogs.arm.com/smart-mobile-devices/arm-community-at-computex-wrapup/

Elitegroup - Huge line-up of netbooks.
Pegatron - Update
MIO GPS smartpbook

Other manufacturers we saw:
Nvidia - Tegra smartbook MID. ION Netbook graphics.
Freescale - MID Android.
Ti
Qualcom
ARM in general.
VIA -

Discussion points:

* User experience.
* OS
* Browser
* Speed
* Timescales
* Positioning
* Battery life
* Price
* General discussion point - http://www.computerworld.com.au/article/305564/never_mind_netbook_here_smartbook?fp=2&fpid=2



Intel said they can make a better smartbook.

Intel:
Moorestown smartbooks.
Flash, runtime (AIR, Android)
Smartphones
720p recording.
Long standby
Moblin2 and Wind River

Staying with Intel. Menlow continues as the XP platform
No windows on Moorestown. At least the initial or primary version of it.

UMPCs

* Compal KAX-15
* Digicube on Menlow
* XPPhone - Geode
* Viliv X70 EX
* Inproved Viliv S7
* Archos 9 (not at computex)
* MIDPhone (not at computex)


Moving up the chain....

How about Pineview for netbooks and high-end UMPCs?
We didn't get GPU info although there are some rumors around.
Why? What will it bring? Is it a risk to move from the trusted platform?
Cost? Efficiency? Power? Video decoding.

Netbooks continued....

netbooks wave continue - a ton of new designs but nothing groundbreaking except....
Nvidia ION
Multitouch T91
Moblin 2 for netbooks
What about Win 7. Will think slow down now as we move towards September/October


Meetmobility is an occasional podcast from UMPCPortal, Netbooknews.com and JKKmobile.com
