You have to remember that Chrome OS is designed to turn a web browser into an operating system (according to their mission statement at least.)
I am sure it will be very limited in its functionality after release, and for a few years following even, but all great innovations start out weak that way.

My hope is that Chrome OS is a success, and causes the likes of Microsoft and Apple to rethink their operating systems. I have already read talks of MS working to integrate more cloud services into their next OS. For me, the advantage of the "cloud" is that I can work on a project at home, and resume the project when I get to work. No more thumb drives, or blank CDs to carry around, and I won't have to email files to myself.

I beleive that their target systems is netbooks, and other small formfactors. If this type of OS gains enough attention, we may see all kinds of great things come out of the software world. We shall have to wait and see...
free stuff sounds great!
I think the government needs to stop giving tax breaks to foreign business owners and start giving them to local businessmen instead. They also need to put a stop to overseas outsourcing and start bringing the jobs back to the States.
After using the storm I definitely have some gripes.

-The OS is so slow. I picked one up, and pressed the call button so I could dial out, and I got the blackberry loading logo for about 8 seconds before the number pad appeared.
-The OS is so sluggish that it often freezes or causes the phone to restart.
-No WiFi was a bad idea
-Web browsers on blackberries are slow and often struggle to render HTML correctly.
-HTML e-mail does not always appear correctly. Newegg.com newsletter looks like a jigsaw puzzle on the storm and my blackberry bold.
-Push screen has too much of a gap
-Click screen is annoying and does little for usability
-Media player is sub par

What RIM needs to do with this phone is develop a new OS, exclusive for touch devices. The OS needs to be more user friendly. They need to add a better browser that correctly displays HTML and adds flash support. They need to ditch the click screen. And finally they need to make it work.


Wow, looks sweet. I can't wait to get more info.
I work at AT&T, and hav not heard about this yet. I definately hope this is true. Nokia pulls a strong signal on our network.
I also noticed that the page no longer exists at Nokia.com...
The ATT store I work at just got the grey Q9h monday. Aside from the Windows Mobile 6.1 and the new color, the only difference I saw was that the trim around the edge is now metal. I like the WinMo 6.1 update for sure, but it is still just minor in my eyes.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
