Sony's Wireless Webpad

John Jorsett writes "cnet news has an article about Sony announcing the Airboard, a wireless web pad with a 10-inch touch screen that also doubles as a television and a remote control for other appliances. The Airboard will be introduced in Japan on December 1. Interesting, but judging by the picture, it's not entirely flat, so it will be more of a counter-top appliance, rather than a knee-top."

  1. On the same subject... by graniteMonkey · · Score: 5

    I heard that cnet news has an article about the same Sony Airboard, which is a wireless web pad with a 10-inch touch screen that also doubles as a television and a remote control for other appliances. The Airboard will be introduced in Japan on December 1. Interesting, but judging by the picture, it's not entirely flat, so it will be more of a counter-top appliance, rather than a knee-top.

    There's also an article on cnet about the same thing

    Somedays, it just ain't your day.

    OK, the previous article on this is STILL ON THE FRONT PAGE.

    Guys, proofread. Fact check. Communicate among yourselves. Read your own site. Spell-check ("Wiresless?").

    This, right on the heels of the default-password crack... well, as the dandruff commercial used to say, "that little itch should be telling you something."

    We didn't get enough page hits from that Sony webpad article last night. In fact, it was pretty damn pathetic. You guys better do something about this. Otherwise I might have to write that scathing article about VA Linux, Andover.net, and CowboyNeal being in bed with Scott McNealy.
