A very nice young lady from the middle east got to chatting with an HP rep today and sent her the following:

The rep also said he had not heard about any user configurable options, so I’m not sure what’s up with that. They are however offering XP as an install option.

The notebooks are available with either 1.2GHz or 1.6GHz processors and a choice of 1GB or 2GB of RAM.  120GB or 160GB hard-drives are also options.  All will have WiFi a/b/g, a 1.3-megapixel webcam and the 6-cell battery.

Samsung have announces 2 compact World’s Smallest color laser printer.

The CLP-315K, the record-breaker, is 20-percent smaller than its CLP-300 predecessor and yet has “drastically” improved print quality. In numbers, that works out to 2,400 x 600 dpi maximum resolution, 16ppm black prints and 4ppm color prints, with 32MB of internal memory. All that with just 45dB noise output.

The CLX-3175FNK may be bigger, but you do get a color scanner and fax functionality, and according to Samsung it’s still almost 40-percent reduced from its predecessor. Printing specs are basically the same as the CLP-315K; what’s different is that the all-in-one needn’t be hooked up to a computer for all its functionality. Plug in a USB memory stick and you can print documents directly from it, or even scan pages in and save them directly to it; it’s also PictBridge compatible.

Cisco’s Linksys brand may disappear sooner than expected, according to a top executive for small business at the company.

The company sells networking gear for small and medium-sized businesses under both the Cisco and Linksys brands, which has created some confusion, vice president of SMB Solutions Marketing Rick Moran acknowledged on Monday. Linksys was a successful vendor of home and SMB networking gear that Cisco acquired in 2003. There are routers, wireless LANs and other products under both brands that are aimed at small businesses.

Chairman and CEO John Chambers said last year at an event in Europe, captured in a YouTube video, that Linksys would disappear under the Cisco brand over time. Linksys followed up by saying its brand wasn’t going anywhere in the near term.

Cisco had already moved to allow its SMB channel partners to sell both Cisco and Linksys products, starting about a year ago, but in the process found out most of them didn’t want to carry both, Moran said. Those that sold Cisco gear weren’t interested in selling the simpler Linksys products because they wanted to sell their customers system integration services, and Linksys resellers were more geared toward selling individual products, he said.
