HP will be releasing two new pocket PCs back with the iPAQ 614c and 914c.

The smaller 614 has the conventional keypad with a ‘virtual wheel’ to replace the directional pad. Specs include: Windows Mobile 6 Professional, 12 keys + Navigation Circle, 2.8" QVGA display, 3G / HSDPA / WiFi, GPS, and a 3 Megapixel camera

The 914c sports a horizontal QVGA screen and the full QWERTY.

No word yet on availability or pricing.

Rumor has it that HP will be introducing a new desktop system called the HP Blackbird 002 next week. Some info on what it contains:

• versatile and configurable
• has full system, maintenance-free liquid cooling that draws heat away from the CPU, motherboard and GPUs.
• each heat source is contained in its own thermal chamber, making for a cooler environment
• provides easy access via a side panel
• all components can be removed and installed without tools.
• user-controlled overclocking

I have thing for Tablet PCs (although my wife stole mine and won’t give it back), and the HP 2710p looks like a good’n. Oh, sure, it has all the usual stuff, 12.1 inch screen, less than four pounds, ultra-low voltage Core 2 Duo processor choices, etc., etc. But that 12.1 inch screen is no ordinary LCD. No, it has LED-backlighting along with its digitzer, promising to overcome one of the biggest weaknesses of Tablet PCs: dim screens. Pricing ranges from a bare-bones unit at $1,649 up to $2,478 for a fully-loaded monster. But, nobody knows when it’ll be released, so all this goodness is moot at the moment.

HP’s new dv6500 CT Special Edition is said to be limited to 1,000 units and rumor has it that it has a 15.4-inch LCD, an Intel Core 2 Duo T7100 processor, VGA output, several USB ports, and a 1,280 x 800 resolution panel — all encased in a pure white case. Prices start at just ¥119,700 ($979) and are for Japan at this time.

I have taken to cryptic passwords in order to keep my information secure on my computer, but, as of now, that is not the only best method. Dynahand brings a new technology that identifies passwords by the users handwriting samples made up of a form of digits. In order to unlock the password, the handwriting sample must be picked correctly. It is secure and not as overloading for your computer system as it would be for a retinal scan.
