It Does Little and Not Very Well

Re:Windows user reviews Linux

I use Windows mostly, I've played with Linux. The 770 still doesn't work for "me". Yup, you can play around and install many Linux apps, however, over at maemo you can get a choice of a couple of old games and command line linux apps. W00t! Shiny!

His complaints about battery life, screen size and wierd wireless behavior are pretty spot on. Unless you want to buy a little tiny computerlet to hack Linux (which is why I bought it), it's a pretty lame little device.

I doubt there are enough Linux geeks with good eyesight and a couple of hundred dollars in disposable cash to make the 770 a commercial success.

Re:"Review" misses the point.

My pointing out your lack of comma was an attempt at humor that has, rather predictably, been lost on you.

As for me 'flaming' you for a 'simple mistake', exactly which mistake are you referencing? Your lack of comma, or your inability to extract information from an article?

I find it more than mildly amusing that I write a screen-length reply to your original post, refuting all your 'points', and all you seem to be able to do is point out a typo and blast me for 'flaming' you. If you perceive my refutation of your original points (including your pointless Microsoft trolling) as 'flaming', then it's obvious you haven't been here very long.

If you want to discuss the topic, please do so. If you don't (or can't), save the bandwidth for those of us who do.

And one more thing...

Call me whiney all you like

Since that's what you've chosen to call yourself, I will, thanks.

Let me clarify my previous statement: all that stuff I said, but with a 1024x768 (or higher) screen and a real QWERTY keyboard, like on a laptop.

In other words, this except with a swiveling digitizer screen.
