I can use orb to stream all the videos in the countless codecs on my home server to my mobile device, I can watch videos in various online streaming formats including flash, and I can use the browser of my liking with my favorite plugins with no concerns about compatibility with different sites or flash or java applications.

For a cellphone, ok, I've got a three inch screen and limited input capabilities, and efficiency trumps all else. But go too small and restrictive with what you are and aren't allowed to do on larger devices, and you simply sacrifice too much.

No thanks.]]>May 24th 2010 7:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/nvidia-intels-moorestown-is-like-an-elephant-on-a-diet-ipad-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/nvidia-intels-moorestown-is-like-an-elephant-on-a-diet-ipad-s/
My little 9" netbook though, no problem. It still fits in my camera bag, and yet can be hooked up to my projector for presentations and so forth and while its no powerhouse it just doesn't feel like sitting in such a very small room.

So, ya, I'm especially excited about little devices like the MX11 with its hybrid graphics and likely battery sipping ULV i5s where small footprint doesn't mean small capabilities. :D]]>May 24th 2010 7:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/nvidia-intels-moorestown-is-like-an-elephant-on-a-diet-ipad-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/nvidia-intels-moorestown-is-like-an-elephant-on-a-diet-ipad-s/]]>May 24th 2010 7:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/nvidia-intels-moorestown-is-like-an-elephant-on-a-diet-ipad-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/nvidia-intels-moorestown-is-like-an-elephant-on-a-diet-ipad-s/

my reply on the 1080p is file sizes. 720p is typically a full GB for a movie (often more). how much would it be at full 1080p. so I know how much will fit on my 16GB tablet. ]]>May 24th 2010 5:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/nvidia-intels-moorestown-is-like-an-elephant-on-a-diet-ipad-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/nvidia-intels-moorestown-is-like-an-elephant-on-a-diet-ipad-s/I don't know how much you compress your movies but my 720p movies are on average 5 GB. I have a 1080p movie (Avatar) that is 11 GB.

The point isn't so you can have your whole movie collection with you it is so you can copy a movie to it and connect your slate to a tv and watch it.]]>May 24th 2010 5:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/nvidia-intels-moorestown-is-like-an-elephant-on-a-diet-ipad-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/nvidia-intels-moorestown-is-like-an-elephant-on-a-diet-ipad-s/May 24th 2010 5:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/nvidia-intels-moorestown-is-like-an-elephant-on-a-diet-ipad-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/nvidia-intels-moorestown-is-like-an-elephant-on-a-diet-ipad-s/could use a memory stick or.. oh...

but yeah, it is unreasonable to expect 1080p films on a tablet PC, tablet PC's (yeah, every tablet, not just the ipad) arent meant to be powerful, and they arent
they just fun extras, they arent up to the job for much else
though, i think id want a bit more than 16G, even for a tablet PC :S

Yeah full HD on a tablet doesn't sounds good consider the small screen but it's important factor, hooking the ipad to an HD tv and stream 1080p would be pretty good feature especially when many people have HDTVs nowadays. ]]>May 24th 2010 6:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/nvidia-intels-moorestown-is-like-an-elephant-on-a-diet-ipad-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/nvidia-intels-moorestown-is-like-an-elephant-on-a-diet-ipad-s/... and Apple Ipad was

I wad wondering about that.

While I don't like most of Apple's philosophies, this is one occasion when a closed platform really does shine.

It's a similar situation as to why consoles like the Xbox 360 are able to produce impressive graphics relative to their 'poor' hardware when compared to most modern PCs. Optimisation is king.]]>May 24th 2010 5:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/nvidia-intels-moorestown-is-like-an-elephant-on-a-diet-ipad-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/nvidia-intels-moorestown-is-like-an-elephant-on-a-diet-ipad-s/May 24th 2010 5:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/nvidia-intels-moorestown-is-like-an-elephant-on-a-diet-ipad-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/nvidia-intels-moorestown-is-like-an-elephant-on-a-diet-ipad-s/
It's completely nonsensical to mention it when the iPad's screen doesn't even accommodate 720p.

I don't see how people can champion a feature that would only ever be used via an external display.

With devices like this you need to take into account the cost of having a technically impressive feature vs. the percentage of people whom will actually use it.]]>May 24th 2010 5:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/nvidia-intels-moorestown-is-like-an-elephant-on-a-diet-ipad-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/nvidia-intels-moorestown-is-like-an-elephant-on-a-diet-ipad-s/May 24th 2010 5:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/nvidia-intels-moorestown-is-like-an-elephant-on-a-diet-ipad-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/nvidia-intels-moorestown-is-like-an-elephant-on-a-diet-ipad-s/

Obviously anyone reading this site will think those features are very important, but I have a feeling that the majority of the 1M+ iPad users simply don't care.

So 'short comings' is most definitely a relative term.]]>May 25th 2010 11:09AM
