Re: [ukha_d] NEWS - Prêt-à-porter computers



Isn't it stretching things a bit to say it has "the same resolution
and
imagery that you would see if you were looking at a desktop monitor",

It's probably OK for control or information presentation applications,
but I wouldn't want to watch a video or surf the web using it.
