Productive Organizer

A good review is a review that goes beyond the norm. For hardware it means not only talking about hardware and what it comes with but what you can do with it in your life.

For that I believe Droid Dog’s Review of the Chrome OS Notebook is great. The writer John takes us through how he tries to integrate an OS based on cloud computing into his life.

He even introduces the Calendar, ToDo List, Video Streaming usage to you. Something the rest of the reviewers doesn’t

Take a look at the video of the Archos 5 Internet tablet. Man this baby is damn thin. However, It won’t fit easy into your pocket. But armed with a 3G card, this Android platform should be a solid MID browser. Forget about those netbooks!

Positives

1. Android ( up and coming mobile os ecosystem)
2. 4.8 inch screen ( good size for viewing web pages)
3. 720p video over HDMI
4. 500GB harddisk (bombastic!)
5. Bluetooth
6. 3G (Tether over bluetooth?)
7. GPS

Negatives

1. No Phone function (not so much a negative really)
2. OMAP processor (my experience with it tells me it tends to be dissappointing)
3. Pricey (250 -440 dollars)

This would make a good life organizer really PROVIDED Android store really comes up with good life organizing apps. We already have Remember The Milk for android yesterday and Astrid. So the future for Android might not look so bad after all.
