...but, apple could make some inroads in the market by showing their osX works better'n windows on those things ...especially if it does so on the devices with no HDD, only flash ...I have a winCE machine (NEC MobilePro770) and it is such a nicely designed device but slow as a rat with that micro sized windows bloatware ...too bad cuz the thing would be great if there were better stuff to run it with ...so it goes in the obamarama!!

I expect that at least some at Apple will be in a panic over it. I would not be surprised if Apple lashes out in some nasty way. Apple has to protect its hardware sales and this kills hardware sales. I do not think that Apple will start selling hardware in this category. It is too cheap and not profitable enough. It will be interesting to see how they get themselves out of this pickle. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
