“Amid the pomp and circumstance of tablets and hybrid
netbooks from CES 2010, there’s a few notable introductions that
slipped under the radar. The HP Mini 5102 — backed by a SUSE
Linux option — is one of those devices. Coming soon from HP,
the Mini 5102 is shipping with some interesting features. Here’s
the deal.

“Pictured, you’ll note that it has a handle and a square
business-like frame. That’s the point, since HP is leveraging this
device for the business world. What’s so special about it though?
Well, it’s featuring a touch-screen. And while that’s not too
unusual, it’s nice to see that addition in a work-related device.
(Especially after the iWork rumors.)”
