[Liverpool] Nokia and Microsoft

[Sebastian]

The hell with it - if the new Oaktrail Atom generation (Z6xx) is as good 
as Intel claims it to be - and we get x86 tablets with 10 *real* hours 
and 3G - I'll just get one of those and use it as my mobile phone with 
SIP over 3G. On Slackware. A Slackware mobile phone! And be done with 
their mobile OS dicking around and farty app stores. And firmware 
lock-ins and lack of OS upgrade path.
