Two questions still remain: - Price? - Battery life? Also, the behavior of the screen in direct sunlight looks doctored to me. EDIT: The schoolgirls have an evil look in their eyes, is that good marketing?

Would someone care to explain why Gangnam Style has become such a meme that tech startups are tempted to reuse it for marketing purposes? I mean I listened to the original song on Youtube and it didn't strike me as particularly worthy of li

Substitute "Linux on the desktop" for windowsphone in your argument and this is something we techies have been arguing forever. I would be fascinated if you could explain how the position of today's windowsphone is in any way different from

No. By throwaway account I mean having a button that says "Generate a throwaway account for me", which then causes the back-end to generate a random hex string. The user then clicks on http://omgsmackdown.com/58d7875171f9b6a4c22d6b46e4da9b

One of the article's key insights was this: for any *book to be successful, battery life is the killer feature. Actually, portability is the real killer feature, but battery life is a good proxy for that. Intel chooses not to focus on that
