We have heard so many rumors of HP’s tablet but in-the-wild spotting’s are few and far between. A YouTuber by the name x313xkillax, has a video of an HP Slate prototype. (There’s some speculation that this is a fake, but from what we know and heard about the tablet this seems to be pretty sure that it is the real.) The hardware looks similar to what we’ve seen before, though perhaps a bit further along than version Conecti.ca “reviewed” back in April.

Reports say that the boot time of the device was nice and seemingly fine Flash performance, and x313xkillax calls the touchscreen very responsive, but as you can see in the video after the break, Windows 7 still isn’t really designed for finger operation. Just like HP seemed to realize when it bought Palm and bumped this tablet from a consumer launch to a niche enterprise product.

Verizon CEO talks more about iPhone says “we have to earn it”

Posted: 23 Sep 2010 09:15 AM PDT

Apple has already talked about putting the iPhone on Verizon and now Verizon wants the phone.Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg touched on that topic in a talk to investors at the Goldman Sachs conference today.”We don’t feel like we have an iPhone deficit. We would love to carry it when we get there, but we have to earn it,” Seidenberg said, walking a fine line between complimenting the phone and making it clear that Verizon still has a good lineup.

Ivan hinted heavily that Verizon’s forthcoming 4G LTE network could be the golden ticket, and while this isn’t a new theory, it’s unclear (and a little disconcerting) if he’s just as in the dark as we are as to whether or not Apple will come around once LTE is up and running. Still, he put on a brave face: “At some point, Apple will get with the program.”

Check costs of the ATM machine while finding multiple options

Posted: 23 Sep 2010 12:13 AM PDT

Did you already make your mind to buy a new ATM machine? Not sure? Are you thinking of it to be a complicated process? Think again. You have the option to go through a long learning curve with this business if you have the tendency to become an entrepreneur.

Every business starts with basics, so with ATM business. First, look at the major manufacturers of ATM machines like Tranax, Triton, Hyosung, WGR, NCR etc. Few basic services that you can always expect from these ATM companies are -competitive prices, after-sale service, technical assistance and the upgradation facilities.

The next query is how much your new ATM would cost you? Though, the answer might be difficult sometime as there are number of ATM machines to choose from. There are two types in general: Class 1 armored ATM machine and Indoor ATM machines. You will find unarmored ATM machines (For example: WRG ATM, Triton 9100 ATM – Tranax 1500 ATM, Tranax 1700, Through-The-Wall ATM) in non-banking locations. Triton 9100 and Tranax 1700 are popular ATM machines that you can purchase from ATM distributors or ATM service dealers. These will cost you around in between $1,750 and $2.250.

However if you don't have enough money to start with this new business, there are options for Low cost ATM machines for sale too. Used Triton 9100 ATM machine comes in only $1200, Triton RL5000 ATM machine will cost you around $1495. The cheapest option is Triton 9700 ATM machine that will cost you only $1000.

However compare the prices before you conclude the sale. But don't just rush after price only. You may find companies providing leasing purchase services or a rental option. This may relieve you from bearing instant investment pressure. It is also a good idea if you are confident about the location and footfalls in your ATM. After all you need to make profit after paying the rental.

Any service oriented business should be accompanied by quality product and smooth operational experience. If your customer has a bad experience while transacting in your ATM he or she is not going to get back to you. So you are loosing a business and your competitor is winning one. Hence, don't compromise with the quality whether you buy a new ATM, Used ATM machine or take it in rental.
