Just for fun, Nokia should respond with a picture of a person comfortably fitting a sleeved N810 into their pocket and walking around without 75% of it awkwardly hanging out.

Of course, I'd feel pretty bad when I sat down and killed my computer with my ass.

Too bad nobody was strutting around with a notebook stuck down the front of their waistband. The P is just the right shape to rock it gangsta.

What are people with Vespas and motorcycles supposed to do? It's kind of hard to tack a government-required GPS unit onto the handlebars.
Either this plan has not been thought out or there are ulterior motives.

Nokia N810. Because everyone else has a netbook now.

I didn't use my Eee 701 as my primary notebook. The small 4gb internal flash and low-resolution screen made it great for instant messaging and web browsing, but not much more, so it didn't replace my Lenovo 3000 N100 by any means. I replaced the Eee 701 with an Aspire One. The resolution of 1024x600 means that web pages don't get distorted and the generous hard drive and better keyboard make word processing and other office-type tasks easier. It's become my primary notebook. It doesn't help that the battery in my Lenovo is now stone dead and I'm having a hard time replacing it, either. The first-gen Eees weren't meant to replace normal notebooks, but the nicer machines from the current crop of netbooks can if you have modest requirements.
From the point of view of someone that goes to a lot of conventions, netbooks are a Godsend.

If the Aspire One sucks so hard and an Eee 9XX is the way to go, then why did I buy an Aspire One instead?
Oh, yeah. It's significantly cheaper, has a normal 2.5" hard drive and all the netbooks have virtually analogous specs.

Again, the hard drive, at least as an option. 16gb of flash is pretty restrictive, and the 4gb afforded me by my first-gen Eee 701 even more so. The option to buy an Aspire One with a generous 2.5" hard drive for the same price as a Dell Mini was the deciding factor in a competition between products that are otherwise very similar. Flash is fine for a netbook if you are literally just going to use it for Internet things, but when it doesn't affect the price to allow the option to have a traditional hard drive and increase the utility while admittedly slightly increasing fragility (I don't plan on using my Aspire One as a doorstop) then it really should be there.

I prefer a 4:3 display vastly to 16:9, but I appear to be in the minority. 4:3 is what I grew up with and what most things were developed for, and for some reason it just makes more sense to me. I think it's easily to spatially organize on, and is still better for viewing (most) websites. Both of my laptops are 16:9, which is fine as it seems like a better shape for a laptop (the keyboard and trackpad seem to fit more efficently) but I'll always use 4:3 on desktops. I think 16:9 is better for TVs as they're large enough now that the compromise of having the sides unused on 4:3 format shows is fine, while getting the full experience with widescreen movies, which is what I buy when I can, and shows with that other, slightly-widescreen format.

The keyboard was the deciding factor in my buying an Eee PC over an XO. I was weighing the pros and cons of both, and that horrendous looking keyboard tipped the scales to the Eee. They should have taken into account how many times a key on a keyboard gets hit. The rubberized keys would probably work fine on a calculator, but not something that gets flailed away on for extended periods of time. My Eee lives in a clean, dry world where it's carried around in a case and has friendly electrical outlets everywhere though, so there you have it.

A few people in the US have been prosecuted for messing with helicopter pilots with laser pointers. It's not like there are mobs of deranged laser-vigilantes running around or anything but it's happened a few times. I don't thing that it was because they could "blind" the pilot (they were probably vanilla red ones) but because they could be mistaken for laser designators on a firearm or something, and I think that the instance that I'm remembering involved police choppers. So, it probably isn't a good idea to point something that could be associated with firearms at government employees. Go figure.

Setting aside the "looks like a Polariod" concept, I like that design more than most digital frames because it doesn't have a big old plastic bezel or fake frame around the screen. It's a bit more minimal and takes away some of the "It's a digital picture frame, see, because it's in a picture frame and all..."
