Part of this has to do with low power processors. Acorn processors (ARM - Acorn Risc Machines) have dominated the smartphone market in the past and intel wants Atom to compete. the notebook/smartphone markets are expected to merge and adopt a common architecture. Here is an article from a couple years back: infoworld.com

Thing is that Flash demands a lot from a processor and it is hard to get low power / reduced instruction set devices to play flash without a lot of drop outs and skipping.

Gizmodo version of the review: “Apple is much better at making flash not work.”

What I don’t get about this is why people all over the dang place are posting reviews of this thing?

It’s not a production machine and it’s never going to be sold to the general public. The first ‘real’ netbooks sporting G-OS aren’t going to be available until the middle of ‘11.

Google gave these things to people so they could help beta test Chrome OS. Bastards didn’t send me one, though. LOL

Holy crap! I got home from work today and one was sitting on my front porch.

LOL

Sorry about the “bastards” crack, Google. ;)
