HP is joining the Windows 8 tablet craze with a product of its own. Called HP ElitePad 900, it has a 10.1-inch screen with 1280×800 pixels resolution. In addition, there’s 2GB of RAM, 64GB of built-in SSD storage, NFC, Wi-Fi connectivity, Bluetooth 4.0, microSD card slot, while Intel’s Atom Z2760 CPU provides all the processing power needed to make things run smoothly.
So far, it’s nothing special. However, thanks to the so called “Smart Jacket” system of add-on accessories, future ElitePad 900 owners will be able to add extra capabilities to the device. For instance, one Smart Jacket adds keyboard, effectively turning it into a netbook (a la Asus Transformer Pad series); while other one is designed as a special case with extended battery and a USB port. And that’s just a start with more Smart Jackets coming later next year.
The tablet alone will be released in early 2013, most likely after we get to play with it at CES. Stay tuned as we bring you more…

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
