OK, where to start. First, I'm sorry for anything that might have been perceived as an intemperate tone. It was late, I was on a tablet.

Second, WorkingOnWise, you pretty much missed my point entirely. I am not a developer, nor have I ever claimed to be, and I am no tablet fanboy (I'm quite vocal in my criticisms of the platform as anybody who pays any attention can tell you), your own assumptions are simply that, your own. The rest of your rant really isn't worth addressing.

This was in response to this, and several of Betty's other posts about font sizes and readability that I don't feel like digging up.

Hardware wise, the NITs are not 5"+ form-factor devices, nor are they 7" form-factor devices (though I hope they will include these sizes among their lineup one day, that day is not today—nor this year, even). If you have problems seeing the text on the display, the device isn't for you.

Software wise, the NITs really aren't ready for somebody who wants to do everything they can with their device and never touch a commandline, and can't handle the idea of running into a wall trying to figure something out. They may be one day, but, again, that day is not today—nor, again, this year. The device Betty Woo is after is likely to come with step 5 of the plan, sometime in 2009 or 2010. For the time being, this isn't the platform for Betty.

This was not an meant as an insult to anybody, but simply a reality of the facts—the NITs are not yet ready for people who want to try to use their devices to the fullest while investing zero time in understanding what makes the system tick. For end-users who just want to browse the net, IM a bit and play some solitaire, sure, for power users and developers who are willing to invest that time, sure, but for Betty, no, not right now.

I've explained the implications of OMAP3 many times in this thread, so anybody wondering what this means simply has to click back a few pages and read.
