"Fastest growing" is something which is often said but means nothing. Trying to make something new look like it's a challenge to the established products.

2008: 10 million people buy an Xbox
2009: 11 million people buy an Xbox

2008: 10 people buy an iPhone
2009: 20 people buy an iPhone.

Then iPhone sales are growing 10 times faster than those of the XBox.

So that could be used to control it and used a s couch computer screen for IRC and forum messaging. :) Or a Nokia N900. :)

Offtopic but talking about Nokia N900, to me it's pretty cool that I am able to make FREE video calls ( from my Ubuntu) to my mate's N900 no matter where in Finland he is, since he has a 3g connection in his phone. It works bloody well, he can see me and I can see him and the sound works.

I think I just made a mess in my pants.....

That's pretty slick and a very sensible form factor too.

How intuitive :p

To be fair the last two posts whilst not entirely serious do make a point don't you think?

Stupid article: http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2010/01..._book_readers/

Entirely misses the point of e-book readers.

The Reg has really gone downhill. Lots of opinion and not much intelligence of late.
