Ummm, just because you are used to do stuff in a certain way dont mean that it is the only way to do it.
While a onscreen keyboard isnøt as good as a real kb it is perfectly fine for annotation. I annotate a lot of documents on my ipad without problems.
Umm, they are fine for annotating papers/books. They got a virtual keyboard for text input (hold a place in the paper/book a note pops up and you can input text).
Other usecases:
Websurfing (I prefer to browse on my tablet, computer to a laptop).
Wathing videos
Games
(and ssh works fine too)
They write nothing about power consumption... I am disappointed. The most important benchmark of a mobile CPU is power consumption, I can stick a atom in a cellphone to get a lot of cpu power, but the batteries will be toast in no time.
Have you tried the touch editions of symbian? They make even windows mobile look good... (I know the N8 use a new symbian, but thats barely on the market).
I use mine to watch video and surf on the train when commuting.
Better at this than a netbook. Its instant on, good battery and easy to use when not have much space and a bumpy ride.
either encrypting userdata, or atleast limiting access or not giving access to multiple services. If he only had access to one of the services damages would be less, but he had access to both voice, email and google talk.
Please backup up your assertations with facts or references. You dont agree to "When you knowingly use gmail you are agreeing to keywords being added to whatever profile google has on you".
But the client is horrible! Makes my head hurt and every sense of good UI design cringe! I have used nothing worse than the notes/domino client that I use at work. I would rather use hotmail (and thats not saying anything nice about hotmail)!
There are so much basic functionality that works badly. Just remembering what emails are read/unread is hard for it when you have multiple servers.
While I don't like flash and AIR, you cant compare them to HTML5, its just a markup language. HTML5 + javascript comes closer but they can't still do all that AIR can do.

Ahh, apple got way more than 10% of the smartphone market, and way way way more of the tablet market.

Yes it is, they choose a license that allows the manufactures to lockdown the handsets.
No incorrect, the only thing that rivals the cpu for poweruse in amodern smartphone/tablet is the screen.

Only if its not a switched network. WPA2 will work against this as the users can't see each others traffic.
Or prehaps they will be outmanouvered by iphones, WP7 and android gaming phones..

mayor company that keeps houge amounts of personal data dont protect user data from employees, I think thats the story.
Ummm, this is slashdot. We find this kind of thing a interesting project and if its cheaper than normal, super.

I guess that you have never used a nokia datacable prior to the usb based ones? They were incredibly bad and had to keep attached.
Oh, they intend to implement remote control of another computer functionality. Whats the news in this, you can even do this on a iphone!
they want their OS back!

Well, I actually think security a yahoo/google and so on is better than at most small ISP's the would otherwise host their emails.
China has ALLWAYS been a totalitarian state, the communist takeover in '49 was just a new regime in a long line of totalitarian regimes.
It got VGA out to drive a TV. Some netbooks got HDMI out.
Why would you list uptime? I dont care if my system is rebooted everynight, as long as its up when I need it to be up.
