The only thing that could keep my away from this is the screen res. They could've slap a 480x320 screen in it. Besides that, it looks like a pretty cool alternative for people who can't afford HTC Hero.
I was hoping it's an ARM until I saw that freakin' atom sticker on it. Come on, Pegatron just release those god damn ARM netbooks, Jaunty is just one month away.
As far as I can tell AMD was the first company to come up with a dual core design (and it was native by the way). After that, Intel came up with Pentium D processors wich consisted of two separate prescott cores.
IMHO the best thing would be Intel and AMD dropping all that x86 baggage and start making true RISC CPU's. A good sign is ARM entering the netbook market and if Microsoft sees a market in those devices and ports windows to them, I see no obstacles for both of the companies for making such a move.
It seems that this device is aimed at the same customers as the micro 4/3 cameras. I'm wondering why they didn't mention that you can exchange lenses on this one too. I hope that: - this will be more affordable than Lumix G1 which was way to expensive to compete with the regular ultra zoom cameras - Nikon and Canon will come up with similiar designs and all those cameras will use lenses that are currently sold on the market.
"I am trying to configure out a really dumbed down and intuitive PC for my grandmother. She recently had a stroke and while she is under my care I would like to repurpose a laptop for her to surf and email her children. Anyone have any experience with what input devices and UI's are really understandable for the over 80 crowd?"
