in Android: 5% OS Share in U.S.A. on Mobilitysite
Oh no I didn't! :) I didn't say Android would experience a slowdown in sales. I said I expected the *growth rate* to slow, which is very different. Android use can continue to grow, but at a *slower* pace under my scenario. ;)

Best of luck in what you have cooking up, Robert. I'm sure we'll all benefit from whatever it is.

in Asus passed another test (Scripting News) on Scripting News
Dave, great sharing of the experience. I'm thorough enjoying that you're "getting it" with these ultraportable devices; the way we have for a few years now. Of course, today's hardware makes it a much more powerful (and less expensive) experience. I took nothing more than my MSI Wind netbook to the Mobilize conference in SF this week and was able to do everything I needed to do. Using it right now as I sit in Atlanta on my way home to Philly, in fact.
As far as Apple making something like this: we've been hoping for that over the last two years or so. Best I can do is to install OS X on my Wind, which I'll do once I get back. I could see Apple making something like my Wind or your Asus, but it's bound to be more expensive. And I don't think they'll do it until they're positive that the overall experience and performance is more than adequate. In support of Josh's comment, the Intel Atom platform is doing well as compared to prior mobile chipsets I've used over the past few years. I've seen evidence that it can handle OS X well enough, although I'll likely add another 1 GB of RAM to my Wind. Keep sharing the experiences!

Great question in terms of competition between the bigger, more common household brand names. In the end, branding might win out, but that would be a shame. People would miss out on what I think is an excellent little netbook. There's not much it can't do, nor much it doesn't have that folks would want based on my first 24 hours with the device.

in Fujitsu M1010 on Ubergizmo
Where in the source press release does it say this will be a tablet? I see no mention of either an active or passive digitizer. I suspect this will be a version of the Amilo, which isn't a tablet.
