\nI amaze myself sometimes. You see, I have so much power as a writer on this invincible and influential blog that sometimes I can change an entire industry with but a word. Case in point: apparently my recent post on Eee’s decision to change the touchscreen to resistive <\/a> on their Eee Keyboard<\/a> was so crushing that they’ve altered their entire business plan and delayed the device<\/a> to accommodate it. O Mighty Blogger! Thou humblest the world!
\n
\nActually<\/em>, I’m guessing they did some focus groups and found that the trade-off of “lower price and crappier touchscreen” with “people actually wanting the device” was unacceptable. At any rate, the device (which had an original internal release window of August-ish) may not make it in time for the holidays. It’s not rare that we see a device at CES<\/a> that doesn’t make it during the next year, but I really had hopes for this thing.<\/p>\n\n
