Samsung and Phoenix technologies have just jointly announced that they will be partnering together to bring Notebooks and Netbooks instant on and off capabilities that are more user friendly, fun, automated and secure, with extended battery lives.
“All-day, instant-on and always-connected mobile computing is the very foundation of our PC 3.0 vision,” said Woody Hobbs, President and CEO of Phoenix Technologies.
“Consumers expect their notebook PCs and netbooks to perform with the speed, predictability and agility of SmartPhones and Phoenix is very pleased to be working with Samsung to offer this user experience to Samsung’s notebook and netbook product lines. We want consumers to fall in love with their PCs.”
It’s true; we love our laptops and our Netbooks because of the freedom and convenience they offer. With more Wi-Fi spots available, we can check our emails and browse the web anywhere, even on holiday.
Netbooks in particular have been increasing in popularity recently for that very reason and of course because they are light and small enough to carry around.
“Mobile PC users are driving the demand for ultra-mobile PCs and netbooks, an emerging category of small, lightweight and inexpensive computing devices with exploding sales. Gartner predicts netbook shipments will reach 25 million units by the end of the year” the joint statement said.
“As a mobile device aimed at today’s on-the-move consumers, netbooks work best with a light footprint and highly efficient operating system to deliver instant all-day connectivity to the Internet and web-based applications”.
We all want both our laptops and our Netbooks to boot up as quickly as possible but unfortunately many of us are forced into spending far too long waiting on the operating system to kick in before we can get started.
For busy people who want instant access, instant on technology and quicker boot up times are fast becoming highly desirable features. That is something that producers will have to consider if they want to remain competitive in the future.
Both Acer and Hewlett Packard have recently introduced devices with a version of instant on technology. 
“As the world’s fastest growing vendor in the ultra mobile computing market, Samsung is committed to bring to market innovative technology solutions that simplify consumers’ lives” said Samsung in the joint statement.
“Working with Phoenix, we plan to deliver next-generation mobile devices with innovative and intuitive on-the-go computing solutions that fit the emerging needs and desires of our mobile consumers”
Yep and what we want is faster, faster, faster!
