    @RT100: I think a bigger issue is the java problems and the atom processor. Side scrollers not appearing etc.

    A mini 9 is a little like a 15 year old boy at a construction site. Handy, quick, able to do lots of things quickly, just don't have it do any heavy lifting.

    I switched to the international keyboard so I can type better, and sometimes hook it up to an old monitor and keyboard/mouse it it doesn't have to move.

    It goes with me whenever I travel, and it is my 'entertainment' machine at work.

    Really, if you have about 250 to spend, check out the dell outlet for a Vostro a90 (The mini9 twin), it really is a fun little machine.

    Also, the touchpad is scores better than the 10v, which my wife loves and I can't figure out how to use. #dellmini9

    why are these things never thinner then their laptop counterparts? seems like it could be slimmed down considerably since the keyboard/touchpad is gone. #dellmini9

    @Crazy_Talk: The keyboard doesn't add much thickness at all. Neither does the touchpad. I've popped the keyboard off of my laptop and it's a very thin, flimsy piece.

    This one isn't all that thick, but tablets have to basically contain the top half and the bottom half of a laptop in one piece, then add a touchscreen. They also have to be somewhat resilient.

    Is anyone else turned off by the idea that these tablets have their screens exposed all the time? #dellmini9

    This might make me turn the accelerometer back on in my x200t. When using it control the screen orientation it was annoying while moving the tablet around. If it could just control the browser I might use it again.

    I could care less about the accelerometer. The last update from Firefox keeps crashing on Snow Leopard.

    Not really sure what the point is...
    I can say the only thing that would ever get me interested in firefox again is if they fixed the real estate problems.

    I have been spoiled by google chrome and I love my self-hiding unobtrusive status bars and small slim top-bars.

    Firefox with bookmarks bar open, and tabs, it's almost like half my screen is taken up!

    I think Google is just really bad at drawing cartoons. Remember those stupid chrome comics? Great, so when they become Skynet, they will kill us and not be funny at the same time.

    I suppose it would be more effective (or at the very least, more humiliating) if this thing also had audio. Just image the phrases it would call out based on the click-count...


    "Have you started yet?"

    "Put some back into it!"

    "Think about sport stats."

    If a guy even put this on, that would pretty much guarantee disappointment for the lady. Quality over quantity, but at least try for double digits.
