Blogger locked Dad's blog. Dad thought warning email was spam. Requested review. Search shows requests ignored & blogs deleted. Yikes!
Dad has 1811 posts on www.robertheiny.com. Now to figure out how to export them - just in case Blogger deletes them. Any suggestions?

I exported his posts through the dashboard. And it looks like the review is done - good news :)

Installed Windows 7 RTM on Lenovo x61 Tablet PC in about an hour. Vista touch driver (single finger) driver works OK. Next up: HP Mini

Media, especially caliber of CNN, does not trash products without motive. Did something happen? I don't understand why would write something innacurate and negative about a product that hasn't even shipped yet: http://www.cnn.com/2009...
They're just regurgitating CNet's editorial. I see stuff from TechCrunch all the time on WSJ.com and wonder the same.
- Adi
Right & here is the original: http://news.cnet.com/8301-19... 1) it still impacts CNN & as you say w/ TechCrunch the WSJ, right? and 2) how is Cnet's article really preparing consumers to make a decision? I am struggling to see how it even helps them with advertising, aside from burst traffic with damaged perception.

Laughing that in 2002 people thought "tablet" meant graphing tablet. Today, tablet has morphed into referring to all-in-one form factor with handwriting and is in the process of handwriting AND touch.

handwriting or touch? I think we're seeing the decline of the pen and the rise of the finger. (Hrm, that sounded wrong) Especially on a mobile device, pulling out a stylus is terrible unless I want to write something. It'd be like only being able to turn the page of a book with the back end of a pencil.

@Loren Heiny here is one of my saved search for "tablet pc" on FriendFeed: http://friendfeed.com/search...
Which would you buy today: 1) ultra-thin notebook w/ 10" or 12" display, future Intel Core, less than an inch thick & weighs 2.5lbs to 3.2lbs or 2) small notebook / netbook with 9.7" up to 10.2" display, future Intel Atom, less than an inch thick, and 2.5lbs to 3lbs & 3) can't afford it right now so maybe later or 4) which supports touch? ;).

Before you answer, notice how the difference between these notebooks primarily has to do with the processor. #1 is called a notebook, laptop, or ultra-thin notebook. #2 is referred aribtrarily as a netbook or small notebook because of arbitrary screen size and certain branded processor. #3 cost is a major factor in deciding whether to buy a PC, especially since people don't have discretionary funds right now. Decisions need to be based on value - what is best for their use. #4 is pure marketing created by various companies, like MID, UMPC, Tablet PC, device vs OS feature support. Seems like opportunity for an OEM to build what people want and will buy.
- Lora Heiny
Short answer: The one with the bigger battery life. So #2 + #4
- Rodfather
LOL OK - let's say they both have 3 cell battery to get that weight. :)
- Lora Heiny
Hehe. Same answer. The Atom would drain much less power which would give it the edge on battery life. It would make it a little harder to decide if the price were close to each other. I'm still using a ~year old Asus 1000H and I'm finding the 4-5 hr battery life not being enough still. That's just me though.
- Rodfather
Price is a big factor. Take something like the MacBook Air vs the Asus Seashell line. Ultraslim, low power. But you can buy 3 or 4 Asus' for the same price at the Air. For me I'd go cheap but I also want the 12" screen. I think thats the sweet spot for a useable ultraportable machine.

A friend responded to netbook, MID, UMPC, Tablet PC words being tossed around confusing consumers, "whatever happened to calling it a computer?" :)

Now add 'smartbooks' for ARM based smaller netbooks and 'ultra-thins' for higher performance netbooks (new term for a subnotebook). It does get confusing and the debate will always continue on what each of these buzzwords mean.
