Do you really expect these half powered notebooks to even have the ability to playback 1080p smoothly?

I think it might be because of lack of support for multi touch in WM6.

Yes but you have to realise most people who buy the iPhone in India won't buy it for it's additional functionality; they will buy for the bragging rights and the status symbol that comes associated with it.

HTC continues to make it harder for me to resist the Touch Pro =(

To cut a cake? Absolutely. Don't get me wrong, if I'm sitting with a large cake and a knife in one hand and a Macbook Air in another, I will definitely use the Macbook Air to cut it and then maybe use the Manila envelope to serve the cake in. Mmmm Delicious.

But if I'm looking for a cheap note taking machine which as a student will let me type out most notes as well facilitate drawing diagrams or making annotations to PDFs, then I might have to go with the Gigabyte.

Here we go again.
Microsoft has been doing touchscreen based software since 2000, with the Pocket PC and 2002 since XP. As a matter of fact, Windows is the most mature computing platform there is.

Apple's iPhone, even though it was revolutionary in many ways as a smart phone, lacked some of the basic features of a standard mobile phone. Their 2nd generation is yet to be seen and may as well be a brilliant device. But as it stands now, iPhone even though a good touchscreen device, is a device which lacks many of the features which powerphones have.
