Finally, there's a company that's actually trying to innovate. They're taking an idea — in my opinion, based on the success of the iphone's simplicity — and actually making something out of it. Best part? It doesn't run on Windows, OS X, or some bastardized version of someone else's operating system. They wrote it themselves.
Sadly, I don't think this will be overwhelmingly popular, as people will inevitably compare it to what they can get from some other company that's already huge and "standard". But they're doing something great by trying, and showing that the software/hardware world is not dominated by only the big guys.
So kudos to them.

[19 November 2009]Yeah, that thing actually looks pretty sweet. At first I was like "no hard drive? then I don't want it!" But it actually looks like they are challenging the right sort of assumptions hardware makers have been making about what is necessary in a laptop. Still, I wish it had like a 20GB hard drive.
But anyway, I kind of want one now!
