I bet you were thinking this video was about the HTC Shift, what with it's being everywhere in the blogosphere since Hugo let loose with his 34 minute monster of a video review. I don't know if everyone has already seen this video and I'm playing meme necromancy or most of you haven't seen it yet. It's got some pretty interesting statistics and predictions in it. One of the ones that I like is:
In 2049, a $1000 computer will have more computing power than the combined brains of the entire human race.
I have a hard time envisioning the future more than five years out. Five years ago we didn't have YouTube, Twitter, MySpace or even Engadget, and I didn't have a blog. Where did we get our news? Were you reading magazines about laptops? How much did they weigh back then? How often would a radically different computer come on the market?
I can only see things changing faster and faster, it's a good thing our computers are getting smaller, faster, and more mobile, because we're going to need them just to keep up with the rate of change.

Well it looks like the backlash is starting with Intel performance expections with StormTrooper & HissyFit as was experienced with the Samsung Q1U, and as they heralded these as the next OQO killer they forgot the same thing SUX & FlipFlop was unable to match...
size matters :grin
rock on OQO 02! KillBill
