Commercial?
I think that perhaps this page should be edited for factuality vs. hyperbole. The whole thing seems to me to read like a commercial for why "Smartbooks are TOTALLY AWESOME, DUDE!", rather than a factual discourse on what, in fact, they are. Perhaps it's just me. --75.65.10.67 (talk) 18:24, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
- I've tagged it and had a first pass, but it still sounds like a qualcomm advert - most of the qualcomm-specific references should be made generic. -- samj inout 15:18, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
- From the article, you could conclude that smartbooks are either built from Snapdragon, or an ARM-based processor. This is misleading, as Snapdragon is based on ARM. So, IMAO Snapdragon and Qualcomm do not deserve to be mentioned in this article - it's enough to mention that smartbooks are powered by ARM. --82.193.208.235 (talk) 18:31, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
Smartbook == UMPC?
My understanding is that smartbooks sit between (rather than compete directly with) smartphones and netbooks/notebooks... essentially making them equivalent to UMPCs? -- samj inout 15:11, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
- I think UMPCs were ment to be tablets initially (and they mostly were), while smartbook nas been presented as a keyboard (say "laptop style") device.--Kozuch (talk) 07:23, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
