1024 x 768 with a finer pitch than my (excellent) Asus Aspire One
netbook.  Now is the time to invest in companies who sell spectacles
- and bluetooth headsets.

I will keep an eye on this:

to see what is inside it.

According to:

there's only one application allowed at a time, but I guess someone
will get Linux running on it.


I am glad it has no Adobe Flash.  Maybe this will reduce the use of
this much over-rated and over-used format, though if a browser has
it, it seems to be handy for video.  Is Quicktime a better
alternative?  I frequently find it frustrating and unreliable on WinXP.
