I really love this device. I just wish it was priced a little lower. I will be saving my pennies to buy one just as soon as I can though because it is do cool and does just what I would like it to do.

I don’t think anyone will be buying these. How much of a geek are you going to look when you set one of these up at your local coffee shop?

You might as well bring your blue and red glasses for watching some 3D movies!

Comment on Google Wave invites for reviews! by Man in the Middle

I don’t need a Google Wave invite, so thanks anyway on that. I like the blog, and just added it to my daily favorites in the Eee PC folder. The one thing I immediately noticed lacking is a quick way to find the fastest netbook in your top right list of the best netbooks. That one is important to me, as I’d like my next one to have a Pineview CPU with dual-core, to handle the few things my Eee PC 1000 upgraded to 2GB RAM and running Windows 7 Home Premium still doesn’t quite. You might also consider reviewing accessories, such as spare batteries, cases, etc.

This is apparently more credible then I thought, but uh…it isn’t made by Toshiba…

Comment on Litl Webbook Arrives by litl_phil

Hi and thanks for profiling our product, the litl webbook.

Just to correct one or two things: channels are applications that customize selected webapps, streaming media or other content. You don’t need a remote to flip through channels – our device also has a special wheel that you can spin to do that.

Part of the intent of channels is to reduce complexity. Instead of a different interface for every webapp or media stream, you get one interface – ours. Each channel appears as another card in our UI. Channels are also shared if you link your device with another litl on your network using our unique device linking feature. Because we transparently upgrade your software while you sleep, you will keep discovering new channels and features on your device, all without installing anything.

We also use the term channel in a slightly different but related sense to describe our special views of RSS feeds from a site. Any card with an RSS feed can be turned into such a channel. I hope that helps clarify things.

On our price: this is a premium device with a first-rate screen and keyboard – the lcd is amazing actually, and this is precisely so that the device comes into its own in easel mode. This screen is a major contributor to the price. You won’t get a screen like this on a cheap netbook. This is also a designer device: it is meant to look great in your home and we worked hard with the industry’s very best designers to achieve this. This kind of quality is not cheap.

The webbook is our first product but it is part of a grand scheme – litl wants to redefine how we use the web at home. At home, you want a leisure device that fits into your kitchen, your living room, or anywhere. You want a device with HDMI that plugs into your big screen tv so YouTube and your favorite media streams can be viewed bigtime. We’re all of these things and more.

See us at litl.com

Comment on Acer Timeline 11.6” Ultraportable Tablet Convertible by Kevin Hughes

I would expect the price of this in the US to be higher than $600. The 1810T, which is the same hardware as the 1820PT less a multi-touch swivel screen is $599.99 at Amazon.

I’d like to get my hands on one of these and find out if there is a reason the HP Mini 311 was so cheap or if HP was just pulling some loss-leader shenanigans.
