1. One technology involves enabling users to gain instant access to a laptop's e-mail, browser and other basic functionality -- without booting Windows at all.
2. The second technology enables an Internet-based message to wake a Windows PC from sleep mode.
Dell Latitude On
Dell announced this week a new feature called Latitude On that enables the use of e-mail, Web surfing, basic personal information manager functionality and document reading -- all without booting Windows. The Latitude On feature uses a low-power Intel ARM processor, flash storage and Linux (SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10) separate from the laptop's main CPU, hard drive and Windows operating system. If you use only Latitude On, battery life lasts not hours but days, according to Dell.
Intel Remote Wake
Intel introduced new technology yesterday called Remote Wake, a chip set and software development kit that enables a PC to be "awakened" over the Internet when in sleep mode. This will enable you to dump your land-line phone and use a PC-based VoIP phone without leaving your PC on all the time.
