Sharp is all set to unveil its netbook next week in Japan. Sharp has sent several invites to Japan Tech journalists to the unveiling of the Sharp’s Netbook.
Sharp has been very successful in keeping the pictures of Sharp Mebius Netbook under the wraps. My Japanese friends have told me the pink bubble says, “your time will change”

We all love using our gadgets on the go. But, the my biggest concern when I’m on the go is how long the battery of my device(s) will last. I carry a lot of gadgets on the go. This includes my Digital Camera, my Mobile Phone, bluetooth headset and bluetooth keyboard (to type some long emails on my phone).

Nobody had thought 2 years back that the netbooks would become so popular. Last year, the netbooks had already conquered 20% of the total notebook market. This year, it is being estimated that netbooks will account for nearly 37% of the total notebook sales by the end of this year and about 40% by the year 2012(!).
However, by 2012, I don’t think there would be any difference based on the feature set between a notebook and netbook (except for the small size, of course).

The Microsoft has confirmed that those who buy a PC with Windows 7 installed will be allowed to downgrade to Windows Vista or Windows XP. This downgrade offer is available to both businesses that buy bulk licenses as-well-as to the consumers that get the Windows 7 OS on a laptop/PC.
Yesterday, Windows XP entered into extended support only period. Luckily, the final release of Windows 7 is going to be somewhere in January, 2010. Before that, Microsoft will also release RC of Windows 7, which is more likely to be the final product.
This is a clever move by Microsoft and will convince more buyers to make the change to the new OS as the consumers as-well-as companies can always roll back to tried and tested Windows XP if they face any sort of problem with the Windows 7 OS. I personally have been immensely impressed by the Windows 7 performance on my EEE 1002HA as-well-as my 1000H. Vista is slow as snail on my EEE 1000H even with the 2GB RAM and all the performance tweaks. That is why I am dual booting between Windows 7 and EEEbuntu.
