It's a shame Intel don't actually release any of these things. They could be a hit in the consumer electronics market (but then, I suppose it would hurt Intel's relationships with OEMs. As it is now, Intel makes way too much money from OEMs to risk that sort of behaviour).]]>Aug 19th 2008 10:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/intels-urbanmax-slider-laptop-concept-unvieled-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/intels-urbanmax-slider-laptop-concept-unvieled-at-idf/Aug 19th 2008 11:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/intels-urbanmax-slider-laptop-concept-unvieled-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/intels-urbanmax-slider-laptop-concept-unvieled-at-idf/Aug 20th 2008 8:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/intels-urbanmax-slider-laptop-concept-unvieled-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/intels-urbanmax-slider-laptop-concept-unvieled-at-idf/Aug 19th 2008 10:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/intels-urbanmax-slider-laptop-concept-unvieled-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/intels-urbanmax-slider-laptop-concept-unvieled-at-idf/

Resistive touch is sluggish, cumbersome and unresponsive!
there are so many other ways to implement touch, I fear intel chose this because it is cheap, but will sucker in the fad hoppers.]]>Aug 19th 2008 10:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/intels-urbanmax-slider-laptop-concept-unvieled-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/intels-urbanmax-slider-laptop-concept-unvieled-at-idf/Aug 19th 2008 10:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/intels-urbanmax-slider-laptop-concept-unvieled-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/intels-urbanmax-slider-laptop-concept-unvieled-at-idf/Aug 20th 2008 12:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/intels-urbanmax-slider-laptop-concept-unvieled-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/intels-urbanmax-slider-laptop-concept-unvieled-at-idf/Aug 19th 2008 11:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/intels-urbanmax-slider-laptop-concept-unvieled-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/intels-urbanmax-slider-laptop-concept-unvieled-at-idf/Aug 19th 2008 11:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/intels-urbanmax-slider-laptop-concept-unvieled-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/intels-urbanmax-slider-laptop-concept-unvieled-at-idf/

(It was totally obvious that the dude /was/ joking, and I don't know how the heck I didn't catch that.)

More on topic, Intel, that looks great, keep moving forward. I especially love how all these lines between different kinds of devices are just getting blurred all over the place. Used to be phone, laptop, desktop, etc. and now it's like phone, smart phone, really smart phone, MID, not-so-M-ID, ultraportable, veryportable, notebook, mini desktop, kinda-mini-desktop.....
It's a testament to the pervasiveness of computing I guess.]]>Aug 20th 2008 12:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/intels-urbanmax-slider-laptop-concept-unvieled-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/intels-urbanmax-slider-laptop-concept-unvieled-at-idf/Aug 20th 2008 12:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/intels-urbanmax-slider-laptop-concept-unvieled-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/intels-urbanmax-slider-laptop-concept-unvieled-at-idf/Aug 20th 2008 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/intels-urbanmax-slider-laptop-concept-unvieled-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/intels-urbanmax-slider-laptop-concept-unvieled-at-idf/
