Get an HP mini-note PC at Office 2.0

The Office 2.0 Conference returns to San Francisco early in September, bringing its eclectic mix of new communications and collaboration paradigms, Web 2.0 technology, and ultra mobility.

The conference premium for full-conference registrants is an HP 2133 Mini-Note, a UMPC like the Acer EEE. Last year, the premium was a hard-to-get iPhone.

The setting is the glittering new St. Regis Hotel, next to the SF Museum of Modern Art.

That's September 3-5, 2008 [see link in listings below]
