    Are these nifty little things be inside the embedded computers as well?

    They should have put these in extremely small notebooks too. Makes a wonderful combination. :)

    "the Silverthorne processor will be roughly as fast as the Intel Pentium M mobile processor"

    "designed to deliver ultra-low power (sub-1W to 2W)"

    Slap that processor in a laptop and, if the price is right, I'll take it!! :thumb:

    The article only mentioned that the processor would be used in Intel's lineup of Mini-ITX though :think:

    But there was also mention of Mobile Internet Devices. Close enough to a PDA :D

    thing is, the line seperating PDA from MIDs will become hairline thin. the size and form factor of the former usually in the range between 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inches, while as for MIDs, the targeted screen size that Intel set is around 4-5 inches.

    I was told in my interview with Gadi Singer, that moorestown will be a 2010 product, and MIDs CAN have voice so you can still make phone calls and so on but the primary use is for data.

    Honestly, the Atom was never meant for smartphones...

    Have they make these small book-shaped computers which can just only surf internet? It'll be good for the people on the go, and also IM-ing will be even more convenient in the coffee shop with Wi-Fi access. :D

    Oh yeah, that's what they are designed for. So we should see more of these netbooks out soon. :thumb:

    Still think Netbook is hard to bring around and cannot be the main laptop. I think for casual surfing, i prefer Smartphone..

    Yup, exactly.

    I feel that netbook is quite useless other than web surfing and checking email. It's big enough that you need to carry a separate bag.

    I saw Acer Aspire 2930, comes with 12.1" screen, 6 cell battery, C2D, 3GB RAM, it's thick and heavy (2kg), but it's far more usable, 1280x800 screen. I think it's a perfect notebook for travelling and is able to perform far more tasks. And it costs only about RM2400. It will run Photoshop flawlessly.
