As C|Net are notorious Microsoft-whores, so we'll probably see a "paradigm shift" (yet another meaningless epxression) about the UMPC specs from Microsoft soon.

Here's my prediction: Microsoft will announce a Windows-based Internet Tablet Platform, with specs "on paper" that outshine Nokia's in every way; C|Net and the other IT press whores will start waxing lyrically about it immediately, disregarding the fact that there is no actual tangible product at all; over the next six months, this press-whoring will continue, backed up by several astroturf campaigns by Microsoft or their dummy companies, until people actually start comparing the existing Nokia tablets with the Microsoft vapourware sh*t.

Result: End of Internet Tablet and nothing coming from Microsoft.

... Unless we choose not to believe the 4ssh0less from Microsoft and their press shills for once.

MS performs a vital function in the product lifecycle. They give everyone else something to desperately want to outdo... I'd say that we wouldn't have a linux, and thus no N800 / 770, without their massive presence to motivate hackers everywhere...

I'm still waiting for someone to outdo them on tablet PCs, but i suspect it'll come!

And anyway, I've used Windows mobile, it's ********, the 770 / N800 is a much better OS experience.

I am compiling a list of reviews. Reggie: Do you want me to put in your stack of videos here? Others: am I missing any?

You make it sound as if Microsoft are product innovators, or even makers of enviable products. That would be so funny, were it not for the fact that I have the nagging suspicion that you actually believe what you are saying.

I get the feeling azule was posting tongue-in-cheek. Considering his last comment, that makes the most sense IMO.
