How often have you dropped your iPhone? I personally haven't, but have many friends that have gone through 2, 3, even 4 - a drop from 4' is deadly.

I won't denigrate the feature set because I am not the intended audience. For business travel, I need all my design apps and I need them multimodal, not sovereign - and multitasking is a must. I also can't not have skype for conference calls on the road - so it's not a replacement for my mbp: it would just be another device that serves no purpose for which I already have tools. For the intended audience, it may or may not be great - I have no idea the personas this is designed and built for - but certainly not a traveling ux practitioner.

Cheers,

~ will

I assume the durability of it will be better tha the iPhone screen
especially as, like other laptops/netbooks it doesn't have a fold
down screen to protect it.

Graham,

I don't understand. The durability of the iPhone screen is superb. I've been using iPhones (original and 3Gs) since its original release without any kind of case or screen protector, and have not had a single scratch.

You could design a process to catch
everything, but then you're overprocessing.
You kill creativity. You kill productivity.
By definition, a culture like ours that
drives innovation is managed chaos.
