Interesting: Video leaked of the Nokia Air line

Meh. "Cloud" = "Tie the consumer down as a revenue stream", nothing more. M$ was even brazen enough to admit it.

What, exactly, are you going to do, in an area with no/slow data connection, eh? Your expensive phone is now a glittery paperweight. Useless.

Edit --> That "mini" device looks pretty silly, as well.

Sounds like a bunch of air

I have a solid 30Mb/s on a cable connection at home, and if I had to rely on streaming or "cloud" for everything I would be one frustrated dude.
Last night I was complaining that I was only getting 500Kb/s
(Sunday evening is probably the most congested time on residential internet)
This "Cloud" stuff is all fine and good but you HAVE to solve the questionable connection problem. There needs to be much, MUCH more caching.
I should be able to que up 3 or 4 movies... "Cache" them on my device and watch them whether I'm connected or not.
Same with documents and other "stuff" on the "Cloud".

And oh, isn't Google doing the same thing with "Chromebooks"?
