    My neighbour never heard about (and without me showing him probably never will) a Nokia Internet Tablet. But he allready saw an Asus Eee PC. Go figure.
    According to some show can't remember the name of it the reason VHS won over Betamax is Betamax would not allow porn movies to be released on there system. VHS on the other hand did. Since sex sales that is atleast part of the reason VHS won.

    more exposure =(best buy,walmart,radio shack) mainstream use=(joe,jane 6 pack) more development however it may water down the said quality of development its fine if people dont appear to want the device to be mainstream (ga)however it may speed up improvements(im pretty content with mine)

    personally I love my NIT and see nothing about it I want changed other then buying a new one down the road that is faster. It does what I want it to do. I just know they may improve hardware quality if they sold more which is why It would help to get more exposure.

    The devices have been in big box retail stores. The retailers did not understand the devices and positioned them improperly. That led to low or no sales, which led to no further stocking.

    I won't get into the blame game on that one, except to say there is plenty to spread around.

    BJ's has them for sale in their stores.* They're on display with the other notebook computers.

    I haven't seen an Internet Tablet for sale there, though admittedly, I haven't checked the Verizon kiosk. It's tough pioneering a new class of device.


    * Individually, not in bulk packs of three or four, though that would be amusing.

    Some completely miss my point or can't cope with the fact that their 'darling' device isn't sky rocketing world wide sales. I don't particularly care.
    I answered the initial post.

    Go cope.

    You can tell when posters are suffering from sexual lack-of-news tension-- things get a bit snippy in here.

    The community does tend to be a little unfriendly at times.
