It's amazing how some tech reviews seem to completely miss the point of what they purport to review - case in point was the reviews of Origami, almost universally saying "wah! It's not a laptop!" when the reason it's so good is precisely *because* it's not a laptop.
Yeah, we *could* all still buy paper books and cart them around, in just the same way I used to fill up the parts of my holiday luggage that weren't full of books with CDs and tapes. Now I have an iPod, of course, and now I have a *book* iPod too.
Give 'em a couple of years and once these things are cheap as chips they'll realise, I s'pose. But it does surprise me sometimes that these tech blogs have so little idea of future.
