You missed the point. Jobs criticized netbooks for their "small screens", then released a box with a screen that's as small as most netbooks and smaller than many. I was noting the irony, not complaining about the screen size. > Weren't you one of the people singing the praises of the tegra > processor Nope. > As for the keyboard, according to my calculations the dimensions of > the actual screen is roughly 7.7" x 5.8".

So no, not a small keyboard. Again, the point was the irony of Job's earlier statements about netbooks. But you're right, it's not a small keyboard--it's NO keyboard. What it has is a simulation of a keyboard, not an actual keyboard. It's no substitute for the real thing. When that keyboard is on, how much of your document can you see? How much tactile feedback do you get? And, you touch typists, how's that touchscreen keyboard working out for ya? ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
