WHat a shame, if this thign is so expensive. There is a huge market for a simple light cheap computer for the thigns we actually do outside. We dont need to carry a computer everywhere that does fancy stuff. I need somethign cheap and light for websurfing and word. Why dont they put out something like that?
Asus deserve credit for making products we actually need, not producing machines that we never really take advantage of. I just wish Apple could jump into that part of the market.
Actually, I believe it's an aim at the Japanese market, which Apple's sales of which have been a bit lackluster. Slim and looks are everything there. People live outdoors and only come inside to sleep.
Im in china, and you do have a point. The Chiense market is the same. Also in Asia "Face" (pride, wanting to appear good in front of others) is a big thing. Perhaps thats a factor in selling people what they dont need so they look cool.
I will eat my words though if the new device is a tablet with touch screen only... that would be something! For that price, it would actually be good value for money, and do wonders in Asia.
Can u edit word documents on a phone? The iphone is a well designed phone, but its way too small to do any serious wesurfing and it cant edit word documents, and if it did its still too small. Also the touch screen trypign suits some people, but I tried it and didt like it on such a small screen.
The N9 has arrived. What we can say from our first experience is that we're in the presence of a fantastically designed device with a gorgeous AMOLED screen and some highly responsive performance.

They did release an extra-ultra portable... which surfs the web and stuff... it has a touchscreen keyboard... maybe you've heard of it?
