Better Place says that the switching station is designed to work with a number of different battery-pack configurations.IBM Laptop Battery, But many experts warn that, if these stations have to supply too many different types of batteries, they will become too large and costly to be practical. As it is, automakers that are developing electric vehicles are designing custom battery packs for each vehicle, rather than one pack that can work with their own vehicles as well as with those of other manufacturers. Chrysler, for example, recently unveiled five different battery packs.

The switching-station demonstration involved a Nissan Dualis SUV fitted with a battery pack that uses battery cells from A123 Systems, based in Watertown, MA. Better Place has been collaborating with both Nissan and A123, but the company says that production electric vehicles from Nissan won't necessarily look like this.

The HP Mini 110 Mi edition runs on a Linux operating system while the Mini 1101 offers Windows XP and Vista [03/06 03:23AM]

Other potential applications for the new lithium battery include power tools, electric bikes, and power backup for renewable energy sources.

The HP Mini 110 Mi edition runs on a Linux operating system while the Mini 1101 offers Windows XP and Vista. Also expected to be released shortly is a USB Port Replicator,08K8194, enabling users to attach external PCs with a single connection.

FET has spent the past 10 years developing the NanoEnergy battery technology and has been selling them commercially in small volumes for the past three years.

Using laptops outdoors also makes screen visibility extremely important so Lenovo is equipping the ThinkPad T400 laptop with an optional high brightness, wide angle screen, making it nearly four times brighter than previous ThinkPad laptop screens. The high contrast screen eliminates reflections with its anti-glare finish and uses energy-efficient LED technology to maintain long HP V6000 battery life.

The XRT can be used for power-hungry emergency response applications that need power support, 08K8196, such as portable radio and laptop battery recharging, as well as a HP DV2000 battery replacement for emergency lighting and critical communication devices like satellite phones and modems.

The dynabook SS RX2 is a mobile notebook PC created to the design concept of "true mobility". Its light (approximately 1,095g), thin (19.5mm to 25.5mm) design integrates capabilities essential for mobile notebook PCs, including long-time HP DV6000 battery operation (12 hours) and a ruggedness that sailed through tests by an independent certification organization.

The Laptop Tablet attaches to your laptop (or any LCD screen, I imagine) via a clear plastic clip and a USB plug. Inbuilt software is used to calibrate the stylus points to your screen, and you're away. It reads the position of the stylus through a combination of untrasonic and infrared waves.

Mobile operator Orange and renewable energy specialists GotWind know they’ve hit on a good, 92P1102 , marketable idea. The companies have joined forces for a third consecutive year to showcase their outdoor charging solution at next month's Glastonbury Festival, the United Kingdom’s largest and hippest open-air music bash. This year Orange has unveiled a mobile phone charger prototype it’s calling the Orange Power Pump. By treading on what is essentially a standard camping air foot-pump, the kinetic energy created drives a small turbine inside the Power Pump. The energy is converted into electrical current, which recharges the mobile phone. The idea is not only simple, it cleverly encourages you to dance and charge your mobile at the same time.

Since the stylus is HP laptop batteries powered, it appears you won't be able to use it as a touch screen, per se - and it remains to be seen how well the average laptop screen will take to constant stylus usage, but at an anticipated retail of around US$130, it's certainly an affordable way to build in tablet PC abilities to an existing laptop.

As computers reach ubiquity, which they inevitably will, it is equally as inevitable that we will find better ways to carry and protect them. Accordingly, we figure it’s giving Slappa a pat on the back for their latest creation, the Velocity PRO Spyder laptop backpack. Apart from looking good (and we recognise it won’t suit everyone’s style),92P1077, the bag features a thick rubber exoskeleton with rainproof PRO Grade Scuba-prene offering reinforced storage protection for all of your digital gear.

Dell’s new line of Latitude laptops provides something for just about every business scenario - from high performance users looking for a desktop replacement to road warriors looking for an ultra portable or, for those whose laptops cop a bit of abuse, a semi-rugged laptop. The range includes the lightest ultra-portable in the company’s history and for the first time Dell will offer colors on the new Latitude laptops, which feature full-frame magnesium alloy construction and all-metal hinges.

It's the sort of item that HP V3000 battery would be very useful for part-time/hobby designers and artists - if it works well and is accurate enough. Either way, it's a clever solution and one to keep an eye on.

Integration of an SSD reinforces the hallmark performance excellence of the RX2, making the notebook perfect for use on the go. The RX2 also achieves an energy-saving design that cuts power consumption by adopting an ultra-low voltage CPU, 92P1073, a transreflective LCD that uses natural sunlight to make screen images more visible even without switching on the backlight, not to mention the power-efficient SSD.
