whitepaper Standardising Computing Solutions for Every European Employee2009-05-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  The UniCredit Group has developed and grown through a series of mergers and acquisitions that have positioned it as one of Europe's leading providers of financial services.

Following the major acquisition of Capitalia, the central IT team decided it was time to streamline and standardise personal computing solutions in order to make management and support simpler and cost-effective. The UniCredit Group uses an electronic bidding process to evaluate potential suppliers and invited several major technology vendors to tender bids.

whitepaper Papyrus - Design and Evaluation of a Dual Display Notebook PC Form Factor Enabling Writing/Annotation and Parallel Tasking2009-04-21 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  This paper presents Papyrus, a dual-display form factor for a notebook PC, featuring a large touch-screen display mounted in place of the track-pad. The new form factor is motivated by the abundant evidence in support of multiple displays for performing a variety of everyday tasks, and the need to support seamless switching between typing on the one hand, and writing and annotation on the other. They describe salient aspects of the design of this dual-display notebook and some specific interactions they designed to support common tasks.

whitepaper A Study of the Performance of SSL on PDAs2009-04-09 Indiana University
  PDAs and smartphones are increasingly being used as handheld computers. Today, their network connectivity and their usages for various tasks over the Internet require privacy and authenticity. This paper conducts a comprehensive and comparative study of the performance of the SSL protocol for PDA and laptop clients, both in WEP secured and opens Wi-Fi environments. Unlike previous studies,, the measurements are at sub-protocol granularity allowing for researchers to consider appropriate optimizations for these resource-constrained devices. Unsurprisingly, the paper finds that SSL handshake costs 3 times more at a PDA client than it does for a laptop client, but surprisingly most of the delay comes from network latency and other PDA architecture issues, not cryptographic computation.

whitepaper 15.4" LCD Screen Resolutions - WUXGA (1920 X 1200) Is the Way to Go!2009-04-03
  Most people don't know about the awesome 1920 x 1200 resolution WUXGA 15.4" LCD panels that can be configured with some laptops. The additional resolution makes a HUGE difference in daily computing. Right off the bat, one is twice as productive when compared to someone using the lower resolutions. One can fit more on the screen at once - that translates to less time finding and switching windows, and more time working. 1920 x 1200 is the same resolution standard in 24" LCD monitors today. However, when one squeezes that resolution into a 15.4" LCD panel, the pixel density increases dramatically, which among other things, gives one some very sharp looking text.
