why is calling it a small netbook so out of line? ]]>Dec 31st 2008 7:50AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/31/rims-president-calls-blackberry-storm-a-small-netbook/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/31/rims-president-calls-blackberry-storm-a-small-netbook/

Netbooks run full versions of word, powerpoint, excel, or similar programs - this runs basic, edit on the fly, type versions. I dare you to do a complete document with full graphics, or a full spreadsheet with charts, etc... and do it with ease while sitting in an airport.

Netbooks have large drives for storage or usb ports to allow extra storage. Netbooks have CD drives or usb ports allowing for external drives. This has a memory card slot. This does not have have 120 gb of storage.

Netbooks have fully operational browsers that allow for flash, ajax, and many other technologies. This browser can't even compete with the iphone browser - which doesn't even allow for those things.

Blackberry Storm - not a netbook.]]>Dec 31st 2008 9:45AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/31/rims-president-calls-blackberry-storm-a-small-netbook/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/31/rims-president-calls-blackberry-storm-a-small-netbook/Dec 31st 2008 9:00AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/31/rims-president-calls-blackberry-storm-a-small-netbook/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/31/rims-president-calls-blackberry-storm-a-small-netbook/Dec 31st 2008 9:27AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/31/rims-president-calls-blackberry-storm-a-small-netbook/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/31/rims-president-calls-blackberry-storm-a-small-netbook/
I played with one last night at Verizon - and this is FAR from a netbook.

Can we buy him a netbook and send it to him to compare?

The Blackberry Storm is nothing more than a touchscreen Blackberry. Maybe a better browser than before, that's it. And I'm not sure I'd call it a touchscreen. You have to actually PUSH the screen to get it to do something. It's more of a pushscreen, or a giant button.
