Wow, that was a very long and angry (for no obvious reason) letter!

I don't know, but have they said that they *won't* show the Pegasos as a desktop computer? You know, they have showed the Pegasos exactly that way on lots and lots of shows allready, including in Las Vegas. Have you really missed that?

How can it be wrong to offer a full blown desktop computer, AND a computer in a STB case, AND (in the future) a STB, AND (in the future) a handheld computer? What's wrong in offering more than just one product? How can it be wrong that the platform brakes borders and expands across all thinkable HW gizmos?
I think this could be a great product. I have long wanted a silent (mute) networked computer in my stereo rack, capable of playign mp3, divx, and so on. I don't really know much about this one, but this could be it! Especially if it has a CD/DVD player in it.
I don't really see how you can be so upset about Genesi widening their offerings?! To me it is the other way around; the more options the better! |
