Chrome OS with its heavy reliance on connectivity, instantly ties one in with cellular providers for a heavy monthly price tag. Connectivity is not free ... I'd have to predict a buyers' rebellion over the whole concept. If it's not paying for 3G or LTE Internet services, then it's not mobility. If it's not mobility, then why are you editing on such a tiny screen with a cramped keyboard and a battery that lasts under two hours?

In response to Google vs. Amazon: Clash of the booksellers :

I have refused to purchase dead-end, proprietary e-book readers. Anyone remember Betamax? Let's have some standards and interoperability among the industry. What vendors are trying to do, via legislation, DRM and proprietary technology, is to lock-in customers. It's disgusting to see companies make these kinds of decisions! And to realize that they have so little regard for their customers!
