HP Mini 1000 Mobile Internet Experience Video Demo

by Xavier Lanier on November 5, 2008

HP’s built an interface called Mobile Internet Experience (MIE) for the Mini 1000. MIE is designed to make it easy for people to do the most common Internet-related tasks on the Mini 1000 and make it possible for them to use Linux without having to actually learn a thing about Linux.

HP’s Kevin Wentzel showed me the ins and outs of the Mini 1000’s Mobile Internet Experience. Unfortunately you won’t be able to buy a Mini 1000 loaded with MIE for at least a couple of more months, but I really like the idea of it as long as you are using the Mini 1000 as a companion device.

The Mini 1000 I was playing with was a prototype so it was a little buggy.

@vance- the best thing you can do is to keep our netbook/notebook in sleep if you need quick access. Nebooks in general are very slow to boot. I don't have an exact time on the MIE boot process but it's not anything like "instant on" that you see from splashtop.
