Enough with the dumb netbooks!

I'll pile on with the "What a joke this will flop HARD" comments.

I bought this little Acer "netbook" (it's a small low end laptop people). It only cost $240 delivered. Has a 9" screen, Intel Atom CPU, windows XP, 16GB SSD, and 1.5GB of RAM.

So I get all that for the same price as this Android pile.

WHY WOULD ANYONE BUY THIS THING?

Hopefully, this will have some traction. Palm flinched when it could have pioneered this space. Windows CE (WinCE) killed small clamshell notebooks and PDA's the last time around, and Windows XP is basically turning this internet appliance into a small, slow, Windows laptop and not an instant on, superstable, low maintenance, fast, efficient, portable internet 2.0/Flash/Java appliance it is meant to be. I have spelled out what is needed for a netbook to approach the original Psion netbook in stability and utility. Let's hope Windows doesn't kill off another class of innovative devices.
