If it's a smartbook, and can receive calls/texts/emails, you probably don't WANT it to EVER be fully shut down. Think about it.

It's a distinction that is hard to define, I admit, but I just wish my computers behaved like my smartphone. On when I want it, off when I want it. OS on ROM, not on disk. Snappy in every way, without having to rely on skating and clicking on a trackpad six times to check an email.]]>Nov 12th 2009 5:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/qualcomm-shows-off-snapdragon-powered-lenovo-smartbook-for-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/qualcomm-shows-off-snapdragon-powered-lenovo-smartbook-for-atandt/Nov 12th 2009 6:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/qualcomm-shows-off-snapdragon-powered-lenovo-smartbook-for-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/qualcomm-shows-off-snapdragon-powered-lenovo-smartbook-for-atandt/
Is it like a low-end netbook? Seeing as how netbooks can be had for $200 these days, this doesn't seem to be.

Is it a full-on replacement for a smartphone? Something that you HAVE to carry everywhere so that you can take calls and text people?

I can ONLY see this product breaking through if it uses the SAME plan as your phone (no extra monthly fees), and you can make/take calls/text, etc. from either of the devices. It's actually quite surprising that this type of functionality hasn't been introduced to WM/W7 or iPhone/Mac yet.

AT&T 3G coverage is shite!

This will end up in the Island of the Misfit toys.]]>Nov 12th 2009 6:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/qualcomm-shows-off-snapdragon-powered-lenovo-smartbook-for-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/qualcomm-shows-off-snapdragon-powered-lenovo-smartbook-for-atandt/Nov 12th 2009 6:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/qualcomm-shows-off-snapdragon-powered-lenovo-smartbook-for-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/qualcomm-shows-off-snapdragon-powered-lenovo-smartbook-for-atandt/
Stupidity is ample in this world... When you find a way to seperate stupid people from their money, then you will be stinking rich...

unfortunately you need to bring yourself down to their level of low thinking... kinda hard for us smart ones...

see as soon as you say AT&T you know this is crap.]]>Nov 12th 2009 6:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/qualcomm-shows-off-snapdragon-powered-lenovo-smartbook-for-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/qualcomm-shows-off-snapdragon-powered-lenovo-smartbook-for-atandt/Nov 12th 2009 6:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/qualcomm-shows-off-snapdragon-powered-lenovo-smartbook-for-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/qualcomm-shows-off-snapdragon-powered-lenovo-smartbook-for-atandt/It's a vague red blob to me.

We are the only engine of economic recovery.
Recovery plans should be aimed squarely at the geek community.]]>Nov 12th 2009 7:23PM
