   copycat

   What a copycat. Netbook exsists for a while and Sony decides to jump on the wagon. The same goes for GPS navigator and iPod wannabe. Nothing is original from Sony these days.

   Copying?

   Why is everything "copying" with you nuts? Netbooks are a market segment now. Sony can't produce a netbook because other people are doing it?
   
   What about apple and the iphone? Same thing isn't it? Cell phones have existed for a long time. What a ridiculous argument.
   
   For a group of people that hate "copying" so much, you frequently all say the exact same thing.
   
   Also, elroth, you are assuming the picture is the new netbook. I think you are wrong.

   no

   An iPod fits in your pocket. A cell phone fits in your pocket. A netbook with an 8 inch screen and whatever thickness it has does not fit in your pocket. At least not my pocket.

   There's more...

   ...to this announcement. The most exciting news is yet to come. Concurrent with the release of this pocketable notebook, Sony will be releasing the all new Pocket 2.0 which is significantly larger and faster than traditional pockets.
   
   (Pocket 2.0 may not be compatible with your existing pants, jackets, etc. )

   marsupial?

   the model holding what we may take to be the new netbook (in white) may have small wrists, but she clearly must have a very large pocket.
   
   may i suggest those of you for whom this presents a contradiction have warped minds?
   
   A groundbreaking product which combines the iTunes remote control (found in the iPod Touch) with the iTunes ON THE COMPUTER ITSELF!
   
   I am left speechless.

   "What about apple and the iphone? Same thing isn't it? Cell phones have existed for a long time."
   
   yeah, you're right, the iphone didn't revolutionize the cell phone industry, they just copied what was there before.

   With optional 3G, this

   "P" should be the next iPhone killer. It will certainly beat the iPhone on storage and screen resolution. I think it should fit pretty well in my cargo pants' pockets.

   What a crowd!

   Man, if Apple said the above, you'd be talking about all the possibilities of what it COULD be. But, no, you pick up a couple of points, like 8" screen and fits in your pocket, and just assume "Well, if it is an 8" screen, it can't fit in my pocket! So it must be a joke product! Sony sucks!"
   
   Please.
   
   Here's an idea. What if it has a foldable screen? (Have you seen the design ideas for the 'future' apple notebooks floating around?). Unfold the screens, unfold the keyboard, and, boom, big computer. Fold it all up, fits in your pocket.
   
   Oh, right, no one else could come up with such an idea. The only ones in the world who have any sense of design are working for Apple (and those that conceptualize new things that Apple might be doing).
   
   Of course, since it was a mistaken posting, it could easily be a misposting and not actually true at all. Just someone at Sony who's friends with MacNN editors and want to help get them hits.

   oh

   And I'm not luckyday! But it is nice to finally see someone else who has freed themselves of the RDF and tries to look objectively at the computing world, and not just "Apple is great and does no wrong, and Dell and MS suck and should be disbanded and sold off and proceeds given to the stockholders" (oh, that one never gets old!).

   oh please

   you, testudo, see the computing world objectively? your sole purpose is to counter any negative ms comments and trash apple and posters every chance you get. that is your mo, that is what you do. nothing more, nothing less. so please, spare us the bs about your objectivity. it will not fly.
   
   and here's an idea, what if it's not a foldable screen and the picture is what it is? oh right, that can't be because no body would ever make a bad product ever, certainly not ms or sony. why the only people that make questionable stuff is apple. i mean come on, it's a picture and it's with this story! it can't possibly be it!
   
   oh dear, i did forget, you and lucky day, your assumptions are so much better than anyone else's. how silly of me.

   Who cares if it doesn't fit in your pocket? Why is that what everyone is focusing on? It's a small computer. Could be great regardless of whether or not it fits in your pocket. That impossible?
   
   I didn't say it was great or it wasn't great. All i said was don't knock it until you know the specs? How is that even something to argue with?

   let's see

   "the "revolutionary" system is described as small enough to fit in a pocket yet having a full notebook-level resolution: the 8-inch, LED-backlit display has an extremely wide 1600x768 resolution that covers..."
   
   hmmm... no idea where this fit in a pocket stuff came from, unless it's in the article somewhere... let's see now... let's have a look...
   
   either the article is correct or it is not. all we can do is speculate. if it is and the picture is correct then... if it's not and the picture is incorrect then...

   You misunderstood. I realize it is claimed that it fits in a pocket. I was saying that if it doesnt... is it automatically c***?

   c***?

   i see everyone talking about the pocket. you talked about the pocket and a few about copying. i haven't read one post that says it's automatically c*** simply because it comes from sony. me thinks you should read the posts again, including your own. hey, but nice try on the redirection. i'm sure the new year will bring you more success.

   "and here's an idea, what if it's not a foldable screen and the picture is what it is? oh right, that can't be because no body would ever make a bad product ever, certainly not ms or sony."
   
   You don't think you were inferring that if the picture is what it is (and it doesnt fit in a pocket) then it is a bad product? Perhaps you haven't learned how to properly express yourself using the english language yet and that isn't what you meant. But that is certainly how it reads.
   
   "Me thinks" you are a true fanboy. On another matter, I was at the mall yesterday. There was a line up in front of every store....except the apple store. Was so sad to see the little geniuses standing there waiting to see the line form... they even put out "line up here" signs and rope. Was embarrassing.
   
   I guess nobody wants to pay more for the same thing when the economy is slow.

   oh dear. you've exposed yourself and it's, well, frankly, quite a spectacle.
   can't take stuff out of context and expect it to fly. you'll see i was replying (mocking) testudo's post. read into what you will but in context you're simply wrong. take your time, read it slowly, you'll get it.
   
   my english be most very good, thank you for the inquiring.
   
   ooohhh, you happened by a mall at a certain place and time and didn't see a line. well, that does it. apple is doomed.
   
   fan boy? 13 years ms certified support and network administrator. i know my stuff. i left the field and chose to use something better. call it what you will. i have no problem with that.
   
   and no, you used the word c***. geesh, this is too easy. i'm feeling bad for you, it being the holiday season and all. good cheer and what have you is the way to go.

   No Returns For Apple

   luckyday - - What you saw at the mall were people in lines taking back things they were returning to all those stores. That is why there was no line at Apple.
   
   People who received Apple computers, iPods and iPhones actually keep them.
