Dell Latitude ON

Dell has introduced Latitude ON which is an instant-on environment for Windows notebooks. Latitude ON has a smartphone processor that is installed in the notebook alongside the standard Intel processor and it uses the low power processor while in the Linux environment. In this video James Kendrick of jkOnTheRun shows the Latitude ON environment, including switching between the Linux and Windows environments.

Its depending either you have the module installed or not, it works in both ways but it is way slower if you don't ordered the module.

why didn't you try to boot the latitude on from a complete shutdown? Takes me 10 minutes to boot up latitude on, how about you?

I wonder if there is any hope of getting a SSH window (e.g. Putty) running on the linux processor so that I can log through to my deparmental linux machine and read and reply to email using pine in plain text window. That could be far more efficient than doing it in a browser and would suit me much more than having to handle email in a browser.

Also the demo did not show how you could attach to a wifi network while travelling. Will it work only within you institutional wireless area?

It has two modes, ON the fast one, or the normal one with C2D.
