Yep... I've never understood the appeal of these "mini laptop" things. When they were talking about selling them for $200 a pop, maybe. But come on.. full sized laptops aren't that much larger, barely cost any more money, and can do anything a desktop can do. These mini laptops are designed primarily for web+email while with a laptop you can do all that plus have a mobile video editing studio or music recording studio.

To me it just seems like a transparent attempt to create a new consumer "need". Here's a device they've placed directly between IT's and laptops in both size and price. The fact remains that IT's are just as capable (read: more capable because of Linux v. WM limitations) and more portable.

I'm pretty confident I made the smart choice going for a Nokia.
