I would not buy it (I don’t need W7 in my pocket), but this product by Fujitsu seems inferior at this point in the game anyway.

They’ll never learn that it’s the most stupidest idea ever. It would be easier for them just to put desktop computer-sized pockets on their pants. 99% of the consumer population would immediately hate the idea of running Windows desktop on a smartphone. Mark this smartphone as another failure in a long, long line of attempts at running Windows desktop on a hand-held device. If Fujitsu manages to sell 1,000 of these tech-nerd smartphones, color me astounded.

Intel is in a worse situation than I thought. They should stop competing with ARM using Atom, like right now. If they still aren’t even close to being competitive in 2011, that means they’ll waste a few more years just to improve it, but ARM won’t stand still.

They have much different needs than the US market. Their version of Symbian is not for the UI like Symbian 3 but more for the internals. It’s perfectly adequate for that. It will be nice if someone can take that device and put other OS on it.

So even if they sell each on for $700, it could cost Nokia about $300 for each one they sell. Great business sense, I can’t believe they’re struggling with such great ideas.
