The device vacuum introduced by Windows 7
I’m waiting for a perfect ultra-portable (these days most often known NetBook), for some ridiculous amount of years, now.
It looks like I have to wait even longer, at least ’till October 22nd, when Windows 7 comes out. There is currently just not much going on in that market. Apparently all vendors wait with the irshiny new potential candidates for the Windows 7 lunch to get them out of the door. You know, the usual “just one SKU”, no “Windows 7 update coupons” requests and handling, no “double testing”, and no “old Vista bundled boxes in the warehouse”, etc. …
Damn-it. And not even Apple is getting some decent material out. Well, no, the Air doesn’t count–too limited, and too big (e.g. for in-train and in-airplane use).
Well, hopefully at least something in time for my birthday party at the end of October. Hopefully. Finally.
