RE: Now : The "L" Word, Was: Crazy concept

["Phil Harris" <phillip.harris1@xxxxxxx>]

Aesthetically a touchscreen laptop will always be a touchscreen laptop
whereas an ePod is a tablet ... easier to "mistake" for not being
a
computer.

For my desired use (as a grown up Pronto) the fact that an ePod has no
whirring hard disc and fans is a real plus too...

It has a good eight hours untethered use on its batteries...

I'm sure there are others if I think about it...
