I still hope they will reconsider this decision: they should be an example to other manufacturers, and the lack of long-term (and sometimes short-term) support is my main gripe with Android. Plus, since the Nexus One is easily moddable, you just know someone will port ICS to it and thus deny any claims of hardware incompatibility.
But are they dying-dying or just desktop-computer-dying?
Nowadays netbooks are just a subtype of laptops. What is the difference between a netbook and a small ultraportable, except the fact that a netbook is built to be cheap?
The Ubuntu One app can automatically sync photos with the web and your Ubuntu/Windows computer. There is also a music streaming service, but it requires a monthly fee.
I agree with you. I have an Eee with a dual-core Atom and 2Gb of RAM and I always enjoy using it. I think the general distaste for netbook also comes from the fact that they are somewhat unglamourous and really confusing to choose. I think Asus makes great products for the price but for any new product they push tens of slight variations into the market, and that makes buyers more likely to do the wrong choice or to be turned off netbook entirely.
During the Werewolf Divorce Speech I actually expected some kind of visual effect, like when a vampire invitation is rescinded. But then again, I guess the werewolf equivalent of that is hitting someone's nose with a rolled newspaper.
