please please please please please have a fold out keyboard....

My g1 fold out keyboard is the most usable portable device for typing I have had since my psion 5mx.

ARM + Android

My money is waiting for the first ARM & Android netbook

I don't see any reason why Android's GUI can't scale up to a netbook, yes it'll take a while for popular apps to optimise their usage of the new size, but we have already seen demos of android on netbook.

Java is fast enough for a lot of apps, but android will start to support native apps also - but, I am still confused about multi platform support of native apps.

HDMI PC Input

Just returned a panasonic to richer sounds (under threat of court action), it cropped the edges of the ouptut from my HDMI HTPC. Rang up panasonic support and they confirm that a PC can only be attached via VGA, and PC input via HDMI is not supported. Swapped for a Samsung which has a menu option to give full screen without cropping. So be careful, always try before you buy!

A nipple mouse

At last! - A netbook with a nipple mouse, this is what I have been waiting for

eh? - I don't get it

What's the problem with google moving it's content closer to users?

Now, if they signed exclusive deals with ISP's to keep other content providers out or perhaps cut the ISP in on the advertising revenue then I could understand the furore.

rubbish

I reckon that the SMB code is such a mess of hack piled upon hack that it took them 7 years to refactor a 21,768 branch if..then..else statement and isolate the problem.

I have real respect for the samba crew who have to reverse engineer the shite of CIFS.
