Hardware is called "hard" because it is difficult? Not because it is tangible, as opposed to software? Really...]]>May 16th 2010 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/
(Of course the hard in hardware is for material/tangible/durable; and the firm in firmware is for soft to hard.)]]>May 16th 2010 1:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/May 16th 2010 2:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/
That seems like a great deal to me. Though, morally questionable.. a more "shady" character.. could purchase one.. use it for 2 years.. when it becomes antiquated.. just return it and get your 400 bucks back. Say you are unsatisfied.

On a side note... does anyone else HATE the fact that their name is in all lower case.. so, when they start a sentence with their name.. it's lower case. It drives me insane... and makes me not want to buy it on principle of that alone. ]]>May 16th 2010 9:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/May 16th 2010 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/May 16th 2010 2:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/

at least, not for a sub $600 tablet. this price basically force it to use Atom processor which is underpowered for win 7.]]>May 16th 2010 3:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/Any tablet with a faster CPU would either be ridiculously big, or have terrible battery life and thermal properties. Thereby proving the OP's point that W7 is not really made for tablets. Which isn't surprising because it was engineered as a desktop OS. Only because MS tacked on some multitouch API's doesn't mean it's a good choice for a tablet.]]>May 16th 2010 5:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/May 16th 2010 9:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/May 16th 2010 2:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/May 16th 2010 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/May 16th 2010 2:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/May 16th 2010 2:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/May 16th 2010 3:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/May 16th 2010 2:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/May 16th 2010 3:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/May 16th 2010 2:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/May 16th 2010 2:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/May 16th 2010 3:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/I also like Litl's attitude and ideasm I hope they are back at the labs cooking the next best thing. I like the fact that you can swing it open in it's own stand, but that immediately asks for a touch screen. It's a perfect computer for my mother: emails and browsing, flip it open and it becomes a photoframe. I tried to buy it but Litl wouldn't ship it to Europe.

@Engadget what about a review of this thing? If you got no time, send it over to me and I'll do it. :-)]]>May 16th 2010 4:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/
For me, this product trumps the iPad in that I don't think the iPhone OS looks very nice on the larger screen and this appears to have an interesting GUI.]]>May 17th 2010 6:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/form factor
industrial design
new interface (or os?) design for this form factor/usage

no touchscreen
3 hrs battery life

drop $100 and somehow get 2 hr+ battery life and I will get one]]>May 16th 2010 3:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/May 16th 2010 3:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/litl-webbook-plummets-from-699-to-399-still-cant-catch-an-ey/http://www.litl.com/essays/hardware.htm
