You know. And get shoved aside by high end phones.]]>Jun 3rd 2008 5:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/computex-awash-in-atom-based-netbooks-vias-nano-a-no-show/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/computex-awash-in-atom-based-netbooks-vias-nano-a-no-show/
i don't like to be abusive. So I won't.

But you are such a donkey (idiot - lmao). What high end phone hasa shoved aside a UMPC ? High end phones are just phones. UMPC's were trail blazers appealing to a narrow target audience. But they had their place.

What high end phone has pushed aside a UMPC ? I mean the HTC touch was pretty well the best phone out there, pionering technology and a comprehensive user interface, but in no way does it replace a UMPC. You are such a donkey (idiot! - lol).

For sure, you may be right in a way, that when Android comes to market, that it probably will dominate the Cell phone market. It will certainly put an end to the apple product, and some say that apple itself will fold sometime in the next two years after Android's release.

Android will most likely venture out into the netbook os arena.

Yes, you may have a point in so far as this is probably the end of Apple. OK so for a complete Donkey (idiot - ) , you are right about that.

As a final point, answering your question directly, this product line responds directly to the tech community's stated desires;

Full size key board
4 Hour battery life - user changeable
User changeable hard drive
2.5 lb weight
RJ45 Ethernet connectivity
Under-the-arm portability (my bluetooth-phone will be in my pocket)
under $700

Over sized Phone:
No real key board
Junk battery life when running any kind of activity
Limiting storage space
2.5 lb weight - Yep
Connectivity - nope no RJ45
Portable - yep, but more loseable
Under $700 - yes, but no value for money and requires on-going monthly charges.

But you are right, I agree, this is probably the end of Apple. Good point

AMD also a Yes-Show with a tiny netbook:

And besides, Apple cant make one of these. Apple fanatics have made it clear that if a company has already made one of these, any company that makes one in the future will be a "me too" copycat wannabe that cant think of anything original.

Looks like engadget has decided on netbook all of its own accord, from recent posts anyway. Should have known.

Personally i think it's time for the revolution.]]>Jun 3rd 2008 7:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/computex-awash-in-atom-based-netbooks-vias-nano-a-no-show/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/computex-awash-in-atom-based-netbooks-vias-nano-a-no-show/Jun 3rd 2008 7:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/computex-awash-in-atom-based-netbooks-vias-nano-a-no-show/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/computex-awash-in-atom-based-netbooks-vias-nano-a-no-show/Jun 3rd 2008 11:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/computex-awash-in-atom-based-netbooks-vias-nano-a-no-show/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/computex-awash-in-atom-based-netbooks-vias-nano-a-no-show/http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080602-atom-everywhere-intels-mid-netbook-and-nettop-strategy.html

Netbook is the EEE PC, Nettop will be the EEE Box.

Oh boy. I want to be there SO badly. I only got to play with in passing a eeePC 701 at London's Heathrow Airport. ]]>Jun 3rd 2008 4:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/computex-awash-in-atom-based-netbooks-vias-nano-a-no-show/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/computex-awash-in-atom-based-netbooks-vias-nano-a-no-show/
