ThoughtFix of TabletBlog has just posted his CES 2008 interview with Victor Brilon, Sr. Product Manager, Home Networking Solutions, Convergence Products. Here's an excerpt:I think we're doing a good job initially appealing to what I call in a very loving way the "Alpha Geek." These are the people who understand gadgets and the needs they fill. They're the people whose family calls them and asks which digital camera they should buy. I think we got a lot of those people excited about the Internet Tablet. I think we're doing a good job of moving the Internet Tablet in the Consumer Space. I'm not going to lie to you and say the Internet Tablet is something my mother will buy, but the N810 is something my wife (who is not technology focused) will use.Read the full interview.

I would have asked: "what are your secret plans to beat Apple".

Yeah, but I don't think they are really "competing" with Apple, at least not directly.

They're adamant that these are not PDAs.
I would have asked him why.

Having offline access to your contact info is kinda basic

They need to spend some time with that.

Since reading ThoughtFix's post earlier in the week I've been mulling on what the alpha geeks are doing right now. To me an alpha geek is someone who takes the lastest stuff and does something new with it - because they can!

Now I don't plan to throw my new N810 into space anytime soon, but I suppose it might be interesting to establish some Internet Tablet record breakers for altitude, depth, (what else?). This is where I got that idea from -

Which has me thinking about what I'd need to add to my old N800 to make it autonomous, or even just able to rotate it's own camera. Um.....
