If Apple can do this right, it might be an interesting product. To my eye, well-designed netbooks are painfully scarce, and yes, I'm vain enough that aesthetics matter to me. Not the brand name, so much, I just have a hard time seriously using something that looks or feels janky and cheap, like the majority of netbooks do. I think I just need an excuse to pull the trigger on an HP mini 1000.
I would buy this as a phone, were it given the capabilities and a *slightly* bigger screen. Maybe if they just filled in the bezel? It would fulfill my needs in a phone, though, text and calling and time.
Aside from being a dumb mistake, that is a poorly made cake. Seriously, I'm sure any one of us could do a better job if we put in a reasonable effort. I work in a kitchen, and have had to make cakes before, and it's really not that hard to make something that looks half-decent.
mspaintadventures.com for those not in the know. Don't go there unless you have approx. 5 hours of spare time because you literally will not be able to leave the page once your there. It's that gripping.
And just so it's out there, I am not an Apple person. I am stating what it would take to convince me to buy Apple, and I'm curious about what it would take for everyone else. That's all I'm asking.
"All of these new nettops have me intrigued. I'm looking for a small, quiet and cheap PC to replace my aging tower in my home office, and all it really needs to do is load Microsoft Office, check email and surf the web. Is there a particular nettop that's better (or a better value) than another? I know it's a rather new segment, but hopefully someone has taken a chance on one already. Thanks!"
