Greetings from Intel

If you are really an Intel rep, why didn't you fill out your profile with all of your official information?

And did you ask Tom if you could advertise like this on his site?

well just so happens that i install wireless internet for a living and intel better learn ALOT before they try to promote something like this.. the technology is great. but a little to pricey if your just going to browse the web with it... most places we set up are business that dont want to pay for a t1 and get t1 PLUS speeds
i just think intel would ruin the entire concept like they do everything else

Thanks for responding. The Intel(R) Web Tablet is designed more for home usage than business usage. The Intel(R) Web Tablet is targeting technology enthusiasts that are heavy Internet users. The tablet gives the consumer the freedom to access the Internet from anywhere in the home while another family member surfs on the PC. We would love to get your opinions on some of the new technical features for the Intel(R) Web Tablet. The tablet is based on the following technical features: Intel StrongARM* SA-1110 processor and Intel® StrataFlash™ memory; Wind River's WindStorm*, VxWorks real-time operating system, and Personal Jworks*; the Espial Escape* embedded browser and Espial Espresso* GUI component tool kit; and BeComm’s Strings* software for rich audio.
If you have any questions, please post them and I'll be more than happy to
answer.

So if you do work for Intel what is your contact information and what is your location????

Forgot to mention that the webtablet requires the use of an Intel Anypoint Home network adapter. If this doesnt come with the tablet good luck selling the think. Also the tablet would have to support most every function of the internet. It so called "enthusists" are suppost to be using this then most plug ins and other features should be functional. Also, depending on the cost of a large touch sensative tablet lcd it might be cheaper to just get a low level laptop, dsl router(enthusists would have this), and wire up another part of your house. Might cost a bit more, but the laptop would have a lot more functionality. I would think that this device would have to be less then $500 and included the base station to be marketable.

A mime is a great this to waste!

Here's some constructive input. Go back and tell your company to unlock their processor chips AND become competitive. Why do you think almost everyone on these message boards are AMD users? Intel will continue to lose market share with their "our way or the highway" attitude. Instead of embracing the overclocking community like the motherboard, heatsink, memory and other component industries, Intel goes to great length to eliminate it. As far as spec processor speed, Intel costs over 60% higher for same rating as AMD. A recent visit to 2 major warehouse clubs carried only one intel and about 15 AMD systems. The general public is fast learning it doesn't have to say intel inside. Any new intel computing products will most likely be overpriced as well. As far as your company's attitude, you are more than welcome to live it, love it, enjoy it, and stifle in it. I, like so many others, will leave it. I will avoid intel on any other products strictly because of your multiplier locks! When people call me on advice on a new system purchase I direct them towards the AMD systems. Your company's policy is a success! Most hobbyists which tweak their systems are going to AMD and when asked by most of the the people they come in contact with for computer advice they will recommend AMD, a factor intel's bean counters fail to realize. Static instead of dynamic analysis of an arrogant policy. Intel's self-importance is not shared by everyone else. It is unfortunate that their ideals are so misguided that they turn away market share and create contempt at the same time. Why not embrace this segment of the market and benefit from it in so many ways? This is just what AMD is doing with their new Athelons being shipped unlocked and good for them. They are not losing profit potential by producing a tweakable cpu. They are increasing the sales of their high end chips because of this. They must have people in the position to make decisions that aren't quite as short sighted as your company and they will continue to flourish. My next new system will be AMD powered. One less intel inside! I will agressively pursue and recommend your competitor's products over your company's products with the same degree of arrogance Intel has displayed.
