Steve you should consider doing more video posts/reviews as you are actually quite TV friendly - presentable, articulate and knowledgeable. This would likely bolster viewership of UMPCPortal.com due to the uniqueness of the content. Video posts are usually much more popular in blogging than walls of text and give more of a personal feel. You could also start a YouTube channel to promote the site. Just a thought! I actually thought this was a great whirlwind tour and was well managed between Steve and Jeff.

I am going to make a running gag out of the introduction, it will be a torture for you during our next live event! hahah Anyways.. Jeff, you did a great job with getting Chippy on the video and let him grab his favs and i am glad that we got you on the mic instead of some marketing spin doctors! Great job but i wanna see some netbooks now! Steve gimme some content, i am starving! ;) Good Job Steve, even though i nearly peed my pants in the beginning.

Thanks for the offer. I have some of those "grown-up" clothes, but when running around at these conferences all day I take comfortable as my priority. But maybe I'll keep a tie on hand for future videos. @citivolus - Why is it sad? I'm not an "Intel rep" - I am the fairly new manager of the dev community for Intel. That doesn't mean I get to play with all the end devices (as much as I might like that). Steve definitely knows more about the end devices than I do, and it's one reason I'm glad he's here. I could have grabbed one of our actual "reps" but then you would have had more of a marketing pitch. We just wanted to show off the devices Steve found interesting with no other agenda. @Dunstan – Haha! Thanks for the offer.

Good fun to watch, but it's sad that you appeared far more knowledgeable on the products than the Intel rep. Steve,

Dunno about being a "cool kid" but I had to use the only mic available, that giant stick. I also don't really think of anything with Vista on it as a MID personally, but a lot of people do. Netbook seems to be settling out a little as a term, but MID is still a real stew of ideas. Thanks for the video feedback!
