HP EliteBook 8460w, 8560w, and 8760w mobile workstations all go on sale
If Dell's latest 17-inch powerhouse is too beastly for your next business trip, HP has begun selling its trio of new EliteBook mobile workstations, with screen sizes as small as 14 inches. In the case of both the 14-inch 8460w and the 15.6-inch 8560w, you get discrete graphics standard and can choose a $1,000 Core i7-2820QM processor, among less pricey options. (With the 15-inch iteration, you can also opt for a 1 billion-color DreamColor display.) Admittedly, you will have to step up to the 17-inch 8760w if you want a Core i7-2920XM CPU, AMD FirePro or NVIDIA Quadro graphics with up to 4GB of memory, and up to three hard drives with RAID 5 support. As promised, they're going for $1,299, $1,239, and $1,899, respectively -- in case your corporate card's just begging for its next hit.

White “iPhone 5″ Back Plate Shows a Relocated LED Flash
A Chinese developer posted an image of a white iPhone back plate on his Sina microblog (a Twitter-like China’s microblogging site) and surprisingly, it shows the relocated LED flash on the top-right side, just like the purported iPhone 5 case we have seen earlier. Is this real? Well, it could very well be a white "iPhone 5" back plate, or an extremely poor photoshop job. You guys decide. Bigger pic after the jump.

Will Honeycomb beat the Apple iPad?
I think everyone accepts that, so far at least, the iPad has ruled the tablet roost. There has been plenty of competition vying to take its crown, most of which has adopted the Android platform, but none have yet put up a significant challenge. This has been due to a number of different reasons.
First of all Apple got it right first time. Oh sure, there were things wrong with the original iPad, only some of which have been addressed with the iPad 2. But the look, feel, and essence of the device is bang on the money. The price point was also lower than many expected. On the other side Android hasn’t been optimized for tablets until Honeycomb, and rival manufacturers struggled to compete with, let alone beat, the pricing of the iPad.
However, the iPad is now out there, everyone knows about it, and the initial fever has died down. The people left in the market for a tablet are those that have rejected Apple’s offering for whatever reason. All they need now is the right product to buy, and at the right price.
Honeycomb by itself won’t see off the iPad, because it still needs the right hardware to compliment it. However, that will come in time, with one of the many manufacturers producing Android tablets surely able to deliver the goods in the near future. If they can do so while undercutting the iPad significantly then Apple may soon be facing a future where not everything is going its way.
I hate to say it but I have one eye firmly fixed on the rumored Amazon tablet now. It’s almost guaranteed to be running on Android, and all the Honeycomb bugs should by then be a thing of the past. And with a possible ad-supported option chipping away at the price this could be a real challenger.
