I always wonder how this portability will work in practice, as for any "serious" gaming you'd still need an extra display, a power supply, extra game controllers, a means to connect these all. Also, how does the ever increasing need for more power (gaming), and smaller devices (portable) work together (in a way that non-portable systems can be replaced)? High end gaming systems today come with 1000W power supplies, even entry level systems use hundreds of watts. Or am I missing something, is there some revolutionary new technology in sight, that will allow future GPUs perform like current high end vidcards with only fraction of their power usage?
Contract with Microsoft is like poison pills in Nokia, so Nokia is not interesting even to be taken over. Microsoft has Nokia by the balls still for 4 years.
Word is getting out, people are at least talking about it. I see them promoting it on the Today show, Extra, throwing tons of commercials out. The onslaught of commercials and advertising (from what I noticed) just started about 3 weeks ago. I'll give them some more time to see how their advertising blitz worked out for them, in the meantime I won't say it's a success or a failure. I feel like they didn't advertise Meego or the Nokia smartphone brand at all. I saw no mention of tech blogs picking it up. It was basically all word of mouth, which is never a successful way to promote something.
