It took me forever to find out how to post here! Anyway...
This response is prompted by an article I read here in the computer review section.
You know, if any of the "standard size" and micro-computer manufacturers
expect to gain market share, popularity and profit, I would think
they'd have their collective eyes on the commerical and very public
market suicide they are committing. They are, comparatively speaking,
merely aiming their empty marketing guns at a measely few hundred
thousand units a year in slow growth "vanity" sales, targeting the--look at
me and my new toy-- machine dandies.
There a lot of sales people and other "on-the-go," professionals, office and home-based, that need dependable mobile connectivity AND access to "off-platform" mega-databases to make the bottom line meaningful. They, I'm sure, would like to duplicate their efforts on less clumsy laptops AND have access to a full complement of mega-databases on their netbooks without ancillary online connection costs, which would push up overall unit pricing.
If developers and manufacturers get the technology right for off-platfom, real
time programs and storage; manufacutrers and sellers will continue to make money on initial sales volume, unit maintenance, software, next generation machines AND customer service.
There should be a good machine backed by a solid marketing plan.
I need a good machine ovah heah!
