The portable microwave that is only 3 pounds, less than one inch thin, can't accommodate any food except tortillas, and has no buttons on it so you have to set the microwave time wirelessly on another computer.
Gotta love how some people confuse the terms portable with mobile. Portable just means you can port it around easily. You know ... Move it. Port-able meaning able to be ported. Absolutely nowhere does that mean "usable while on the move". I used to have a portable tv back in the day that was just small and had a handle. You still had to plug it in. Mobile means you can use it on the go.
This microwave seems very portable to me. It just does not seem like a mobile device. Another example ... Do a search for portable carpet cleaning equipment. Tons of those and absolutely all of them need to be plugged in. The definition of portable does not change just because its posted in a tech blog.

So by "portable," they mean "not really all that portable."

Yeah.. It's just as portable as the XPS 2010.

Next Apple© will release a "iWave Air™."
