I do find it amusing that, of all the mobile techies around, I appear to be the only one greatly interested in this product.

However, I feel this would fair much better if it were to be advertised as a 'hip, instant on, reliable and cheap, take anywhere and throw around ultraportable notebook' for the college crowd, and mobile writing enthusiast.

Advertise it as such then, as a feature, list it's treo connectivity. I mean, if you look at it as a stand alone product and get past the negativity surrounding it, it really does seem desirable, no? Did I mention it's one of the nicest looking $499 ultraportable slim-feature notebook around? I wouldn't mind being seen with it in public, at least they have that going for them.

Sure, it's not extremely powerful, but one only needs to give the illusion of power (take the iphone for instance, the interface sells it) which it appears to do somewhat well. And, by it's release, it should be able to complete 95% of what most people use there computer for anyway (referencing wikipedia and porn.. ok not really). Plus(!) it's built on a linux platform, so expanded functionality shouldn't be too far away (if it succeeds).

Oh well, what do you think.. am I missing something here?

It would've made sense 5 years ago when laptops were slow heavy pigs.
