That whole HDMI output but no 1080p video really confuses the crap out of me. It's like Nokia doesn't actually understand what HDMI is. #nokiabooklet3g
@Wilson Rothman: To be honest 99% of the population doesnt know what HDMI is. Whoever is marketing them is a genius though because everyone i run into thinks you cant play 1080p without an hdmi.
I think too often netbook reviews dont get what netbooks are. small cheap and access the series of tubes. I think the idea here is if you are getting a 3g package from sprint you might as well get some extra benefits when you sign the contract. #nokiabooklet3g
@Wilson Rothman: I think they were going for the primary benefit of HDMI. It's audio and video on one cable firstly; ability to handle 1080p secondly. #nokiabooklet3g
It's really a shame, considering how nice this thing looks. If I was going to pay $600 for a netbook, I'd rather get a Lenovo S12 with the NVidia ION, 2GB of RAM and 250GB HDD. #nokiabooklet3g
If you like the addition to Bing check out Clicker (was part of the TC50). It's a pretty bad ass service to find what you're looking for when it comes to tv shows and what not. I think it's still closed beta, but they kick out the invites pretty quick when you sign up. #gizmodoremainders
@UnderLoK: And if you're a firefox user, the popular GooglePreview app (adds a thumbnail next to every google result) has changed it's name to SearchPreview because it now supports Bing. #gizmodoremainders
mDP is still pretty pointless. HDMI is rapidly moving to replace DVI and has a similar footprint to mDP. The way I see it is soon enough HDMI will be the USB of the visual in/out world. #gizmodoremainders
@Assassin_Kensei:
Well vertically there's not a huge amount of difference, it just takes up a little more horizontal real estate. Not that much more than a standard USB though. #gizmodoremainders
Biggest news to me here: the iPhone only has a 2.5% national marketshare? Which nation is that? By my incredibly rough calculations, 2.5% of the U.S. population would be about 7.5 million people. I was almost certain there were more iPhone users than that.
Then again, I live in geek land, where dumbphones don't exist, if you're running anything less than Win7/Snow Leopard, you're behind the times, and location-aware services are the norm. Also, apparently CDs are dead? #gizmodoremainders
Amen. It seems everyone is trying to get on a viral video bandwagon or something. Nine times out of ten, by the time you have a commercial, product shots have leaked and people have reviewed it, so who is this stuff really targeted at? #nokian900commercials
Hey, they still are more effective/less creepy than the Palm Pre ads. And yeah, Apple style marketing (assigning "personalities" to products that are inanimate objects) basically killed off the whole "showing the product" thing. #nokian900commercials
@Jux: I've read about this thing since it launched and I never made that connection. I guess that proves how many times I mentioned it out loud. #ngagedead

actually, since nokia makes it, it's a 'nooklet', which is not to be confused with a cranny, though both are of similar dimensions. #nokiabooklet3g

I also think HDMI would have been a sweet addition to the MacBook Pro, too bad i have to buy an adapter to go to HDMI... )-:
I'm not saying your wrong on HDMI being better, just the foot prints are way different. #gizmodoremainders

@OCEntertainment: One other part of that figure is that it also includes the iPod touch. 40Million iPhone OS Devices. #gizmodoremainders

Rewatch them, but looking into her eyes. You will feel none of the latter afterwords. *shudder*
Those commercials freaked me the hell out. Made my view on the Pre a bit more "stupid/immature," however. #nokian900commercials
