Kenny, I think the size thing is mostly related to the phone aspect. As an NIT only, the size could've been larger, in my opinion. But I wouldn't carry it everywhere, unlike the N900, which is the most powerful device of its size I've run across.

I, too find it funny that only now are more people trying the web tablet game on for size. Fortunately, I think the falling desktop sales will be found in the tablet/netbook genre, so room still exists.

What is shocking is Schneider said Maemo wouldn't go beyond 4-5" screens. Does this spell doom for those wanting a 7" Maemo NIT? Or will Moblin fill the void, as Reuters has alluded?

Apple may have action, but Samsung doesn't have a vertical solution compatible with its other OSes, and Android will probably limit some developers in the netbook/NIT category, where expectations are greater. We'll see in the next 8-10 quarters what the consumers want.
