Hey, look! It looks pretty much just like every other touch screen phone out there!
What I'm more surprised about is that we have a site that allows you to put models up on there like that now. Never seen that site. The PS4 one is interesting.

One thing I just realized when you said that is this: there's no way in hell that thing can be a replacement for a tablet or laptop. Why? Because you would have to lug around a fucking monitor, keyboard, and mouse to use it like one, or you'd have to be sure there is a monitor at your target destination every time. Everywhere else it's just a small phone screen that also has another OS on it that you probably can't use half the features of properly. I don't think it's gonna change how we look at mobiles, but I do think it's going to make us understand that trying to put a full OS into a phone doesn't really work.

you're forgetting that ARM processor is still like half of what atom processor for laptop is, if you already find an atom to be slow as fuck, i wonder what would you say about an ARM thats even slower?
Freedom Kira:
I don't get your obsession with ARM. Nowhere is it mentioned that the phone will use an ARM processor.
