It's true that these devices have a large deficiency: they are not Web 2.0 enabled. With this cruical technology, many young students will see themselves largely incapable of life in the next century. Without access to such rich "thin client" web applications, many students using these devices will be incapable of the easiest of tasks. Indeed - without access to Web 2.0 technologies such as Macromedia Flash splash screens for websites or the N-Gage gaming system, life itself is not worth living for many. However, there is some hope, as the small devices are able to be used by Open Source programmers to work on Ruby on Rails and many other synergestic programs, helping the community by providing valuable "top down" support to what would otherwise be a smaller base of contributors. The $100 laptop, in a way, lowers the bar for anyone that wishes to access Web 1.0, but all it serves to do is exclude them from the Web 2.0 revolution - surely be the apex of mankind's acheivements in the past 4 millenia.
Let's face it - in the Web 2.0 world, one of the most important things is user interaction. Sure, Yahoo is known all around the blogosphere as a good netizen - but does this mean they are commited to the del.icio.us philosophy? Web 2.0 is all about the user. del.icio.us, and many other popular sites such as http://www.kuro5hin.org/ and http://www.digg.com/ function as kind of a "podcast for news" allowing users access to many new news sites posted by the blogees themselves. However, one only sees material the major news services have posted on Yahoo News. By this hostile takeover of del.icio.us, Yahoo becomes able to more leverage the blogosphere and its many netizens.
In today's fast paced world of e-business, new Web 2.0 technologies such as AJAX and Ruby on Rails are allowing many vendors to leverage the blogosphere easier than ever. Rich client-side applications can benefit greatly from Web 2.0 technologies such as DHTML and Rails.
Let's face it - in a Web 2.0 world, large data is going to become increasingly popular. With the advent of Podcasts many netizens all throughout the blogosphere are streaming mp3 files. All of these files have to be stored somewhere, and I see no better place than a Blu-ray disc. E-businesses everywhere will be leveraging this synergy.
In a Web 2.0 enabled world, no one should still be buying music on CD. I always make sure to listen to music on Podcasts. With the advent of AJAX and Ruby on Rails, sites are able to leverage Web 2.0 technologies easier than ever.
In the Web 2.0 world, timely Firefox patches are going to be increasing neccesary. With Web 2.0 technologies such as AJAX and Ruby on Rails, security is going to become a top priority. With such synergestic software as Firefox, you can be sure that Web 2.0 will be the best web ever.
I read the whole review. Nowhere does it mention if this device is Web 2.0 compliant. Can I use Ruby on Rails and AJAX with the Squeezebox? Podcasts are not even supported. This device is not important to the blogosphere as a whole.
In the current web 2.0 environment, updating is, in fact, irrelevant. We will all be tied into our apps 24/7 using AJAX and Ruby on Rails. Applications implemented using this paradigm will be updated continuously, like thin clients. Truly this is synergestic for updates.

I, for one, welcome our GM herbicide-resistant overlords!
Frankly, this pales in comparison to Web 2.0. What use is privacy if you are unable to express it with DHTML and Ajax?
