also, how can that screen display 720p? its only 1024 x 576.

ideas?]]>Aug 7th 2009 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/inventec-rainbow-marries-traditional-good-looks-with-a-tegra-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/inventec-rainbow-marries-traditional-good-looks-with-a-tegra-hea/ As to the former: There appears to be an SD card hanging out of it. Even my quirky as heck Razorbook 400 (a similar device in principle also running Win CE) handles a 16GB SDHC card just fine. I'm pretty sure you can put several hours of 720p video on that...

As to the latter: I would posit, VIDEO OUT to a display that can handle 720p ?]]>Aug 7th 2009 3:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/inventec-rainbow-marries-traditional-good-looks-with-a-tegra-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/inventec-rainbow-marries-traditional-good-looks-with-a-tegra-hea/Aug 7th 2009 4:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/inventec-rainbow-marries-traditional-good-looks-with-a-tegra-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/inventec-rainbow-marries-traditional-good-looks-with-a-tegra-hea/Aug 7th 2009 10:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/inventec-rainbow-marries-traditional-good-looks-with-a-tegra-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/inventec-rainbow-marries-traditional-good-looks-with-a-tegra-hea/
Apart from all that, it's a benchmark. When a car spec she says 35 miles to a gallon. It doesn't mean you put a gallon in and drive it 35 miles, does it. Same as you wouldn't charge it and then leave the thing to standby for the full 240 hours! It's trying to give you an idea of batter potential and the performance of the hardware. ]]>Aug 9th 2009 2:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/inventec-rainbow-marries-traditional-good-looks-with-a-tegra-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/inventec-rainbow-marries-traditional-good-looks-with-a-tegra-hea/
There are 3 big barriers to the success of the ARM netbook:

1) Porting Windows 7 to ARM will take a lot of effort
2) Getting application developers to rebuild all of their x86 apps for ARM will be an uphill battle.
3) Intel's Atom CPU is getting closer to the power efficiency of the ARM, so the whole reason to do items #1 and #2 may go away any time.]]>Aug 7th 2009 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/inventec-rainbow-marries-traditional-good-looks-with-a-tegra-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/inventec-rainbow-marries-traditional-good-looks-with-a-tegra-hea/Aug 7th 2009 8:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/inventec-rainbow-marries-traditional-good-looks-with-a-tegra-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/inventec-rainbow-marries-traditional-good-looks-with-a-tegra-hea/
2) This is part of why Microsoft push .Net. It's for the most part very similar across ARM and x86.

3) Intel's Atom CPU still no where near typical ARM units in terms of power usage or flexibility. For example, the ARM CPU in my handset when idle scales back to 4Mhz, and when called on can clock upto >=500Mhz. This enables it to last for DAYS on a 950mAh battery. This is not something Atom can, or will ever be able to do. ]]>Aug 9th 2009 3:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/inventec-rainbow-marries-traditional-good-looks-with-a-tegra-hea/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/inventec-rainbow-marries-traditional-good-looks-with-a-tegra-hea/
