I stopped watching when we got the explanation of volume pricing. Sorry if that guy is well liked in the community or whatever, but I couldn't watch anymore.

Android was designed as a phone OS, and I like it as such. The move to laptop sizes always seemed weird to me. It would probably be fine with just an update to how the navigation works, but it would help. Get on that.]]>Jan 12th 2010 8:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/12/hivisions-149-android-based-netbook-reminds-us-were-not-reall/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/12/hivisions-149-android-based-netbook-reminds-us-were-not-reall/Jan 12th 2010 8:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/12/hivisions-149-android-based-netbook-reminds-us-were-not-reall/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/12/hivisions-149-android-based-netbook-reminds-us-were-not-reall/

@stockjones: It does look.act like a dumb terminal.

I think with more applications and utilities moving to the cloud, avergae home users aren't going to need a full PC anymore. They'll just want a simple machine that can get them to browse the internet. No dealing with bugs/updates/unfamiliar softwares. ]]>Jan 12th 2010 9:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/12/hivisions-149-android-based-netbook-reminds-us-were-not-reall/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/12/hivisions-149-android-based-netbook-reminds-us-were-not-reall/
