Now Get Instant Access to Outlook Without the Windows Wait.

With a slew of new Windows 7-based products hitting the market this holiday season, PC reviewers, retailers, and gadget-hounds will undoubtedly be buzzing about them.  Lucky for us at DeviceVM, our Splashtop-powered, instant-on environment is the perfect companion for Windows 7. And we have lots to share about some of the innovative new ways to enjoy Splashtop!

For example, Acer is now shipping the new Aspire One Pro 531, a revamped netbook targeting students and on-the-go professionals. In addition to shipping with Win7 Starter Edition or Home Basic Edition, this Intel Atom-based netbook sports all the sweet specs you’ll need – a 10.1” LCD screen, integrated 3G, 160GB hard drive, Bluetooth, and webcam – making it the perfect mobile companion system. But what really separates this product from the crowd is a practical and powerful new implementation of Splashtop, called “InstaBoot.”

Within seconds of booting up, users are greeted with an elegant start screen (pictured below), that delivers instant access to your personal communications suite, seamlessly synchronized with Outlook Email, Calendar and Address Book (supporting Office 2000 / 2003 / 2007 versions). Directly from the PIM desktop panel view, you can quickly scan daily appointments and your “to-do” list, read through your email messages, and look up contact information with the greatest of ease – even when no network connection is available.

In addition, Acer’s InstaBoot also includes “Insta WebGrab,” a handy program for one-click capture of web pages for quick access to maps, driving directions, flight information or whatever page you want to keep at your fingertips. And of course, what environment would be complete without the Splashtop browser (based on Firefox), with built in Flash support — if your flight gets delayed there’s always YouTube.

Great for students and business travelers alike, the Aspire One Pro will be available in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific markets at competitive prices. Check it out and let us know what you think.
