Engadget must be sad someone finally made a phone they can't stretch to accuse of being an iPhone ripoff. :)

If they can't make the orange wifi disabled light turn off when the wifi turns on in Linux, remove the orange led.

Heck, a tiny bit of polish on their Linux package would be nice -- I like debian systems, but just updating to the latest version of SuSE fixes a lot of problems.

Hardware wise, I love the resolution, but maybe have an option to skip the reflective protector on the screen and let the screen go back further for lap use.

Please! It doesn't have to be Ubuntu, but this is a determining factor in my future purchase choices. It saves you guys money too, right?

I installed Linux on my X60 after buying it, but I've decided not to do that anymore, now that Linux is being shipped on so many laptops.

He was making a comment on MS's monopoly conviction, I think.

I run Linux on all my machines except one. I prefer it. The way it does things is very different from Windows, and I'm used to it.

It's also frankly superior in several aspects I use often. It's inferior in others -- such as games, and I know that's not a fault of the OS but it remains a fact. If I'm on Windows, I have to set up a fake Unix environment that runs slowly to do things like SSH, and have to worry much more about viruses and malware. I also can't customize things the way I like.

I'm not saying you should buy one with Linux, just explaining why people --namely me -- would want to. Being able to just turn it on after getting it and have it work rather than putting in a LiveCd and sitting through a few hours of install is a big thing; plus, while it isn't as bad as Windows's obscure driver searches, unsupported hardware on a laptop can mean hunting down obscure configuration options.

Well, also, we're not using Windows anyway, so it's nice not to have to pay for it.

Urg. QVGA? Why?

And why ISN'T that thing running Maemo? The N800's OS is open sourced.

Neat, though. It's also a phone.

Ok, maybe it does usually take a person.

But that gun's so cute that if it DID come to life and rob a bank and so on, we'd just have to forgive it and give it hugs.

What are you talking about? Of course, the shortage is *why* they're making more colors.

It's just like legos; the shortage is because they're low on white plastic pieces. Soon, we'll end up with Rainbow Wiis, and the shortage will end.

Ok, XP I understand, but Windows CE? What's the point in that? I don't think the target audience needs better Exchange compatibility, and that's pretty much it as far as advantages over Linux with *CE* goes...

That's great if you use one of those two platforms, isn't it? It still doesn't make them "Platform Independent."

Welcome back into the cold, OS X brethren. Don't think we've forgotten how quickly you switched from crying "support cross platform" to "Mac and Windows is enough, nobody else has enough marketshare" -- but welcome nonetheless.

Not that I would ever endorse such a hack, but... it's nice to test webpages in Safari if you're a developer. The EEE would be small enough to take with you on trips along with your real computer, and the full OSX and Safari would mean you'd be able to check your pages easily.

Really, what more than web browsing would such a machine need to do in that situation?
