11″ of black goodness

Origami, of course. What were you thinking about?

I’m finding it a bit hard to get excited about this to be honest, although it is the exact thing that I am hanging for. There’s the initial run down on a few sites already. I really don’t think the first releases are going to be that great. Look at the TabletPC, it’s still struggling to find a place in the market. This is just going to be a greater version of that same struggle.

In theory, it’s a great idea: ultra-portability and all the fun of Windows in a fun-sized package; email, media, web, games, even Photoshop (just, apparently). On the flipside, battery life, compatibility, data entry, portability and price. It’ll probably be good, but I doubt it’ll be a must have. I’m much more inclined to look at the Nokia 770.

Hopefully, Microsoft and partners can prove me wrong.
