Huh to cool ^_^
Yet
Part of me says: That, is impressive!
While
Another part thinks: One (of many possibe) snag I see with these things is does it feel like a companion? That is something that's fun and simple to use?
a whole seperate observation is it seems as if they (intel/PC makers) have tried to make kind of portable hubish modular computers and parts. So far they hit 'feature creep' and 'uh it's...how much?' pretty quickly.
My concern is it works and be fun, simple and easy to make and use.
A concrete example was last year
Wave and Star Labs made a reeely cool device. Waves started as a simple set of 'computer moduals' so as each part (monitor hard drive) talked to eachother wirelessly and some how increased it's umpf quite a bit. Their core hub started life as cheep (100 bucks or so) but didn't play well with other doodads. and hit a bunch of other problems as well
Star Labs I think it's doodads are still around. Their 'computing 'core and, sort of modular computing stunt hit a hilariously simple snag of some sort where basically their wifi system kept crashing. I simply don't know why. Marcos or Coddy might recall the news and know why they had crashing issues., they were all over the news, when their 'compunctions hub modual' hit aholery from comcast. They were trying a stunt where the it'd (try to) find open radeo channels to provide around a gig internet speed each way over about 900meters to a full kilometer. That in of it self was YAR!!
Anyway Hope it works out. YAR! pretty cool looking ^_^
