In a world of Asus EeePC, can such things attract any attention? I doubt it.

Sure, people will tote around a Crackberry. Even if it’s 100% personal use, it already has the cachet of Business.

But pull a MID out?

Nerd Alert! Run away!

And, oh, let me add this (I just hit Back, if you blinked) — don’t you think the iPhone will eventually qualify as a MID (if it already doesn’t)? Apple has Cool cachet.

MID still = Dork.

If it doesn’t run Vista, I’m not buying, I want the works- small keyboard, hi res screen 5-7inches, 3G, a good processor speed for Office and a full MS OS. I’m sticking to the original UMPC vision (even though the manufacturers don’t seem to be..!)

Kevin’s head is in the cloud again. :) I can’t wait to see that WiBrain.
