Chances are: this is a highly targeted ad designed for tech shoppers like myself, but it is cool to see the biggest online retailer getting serious about netbooks. The ad is inspired by Theodore Roosevelt’s famous "speak softly and carry a large stick". Amazon has obviously been taking notice since they saw netbooks topping their laptop sales charts recently.
The ad is nice and all but can anyone spot what is wrong? If you said "That’s the old HP Mini-Note 2133!" you’d be correct (give yourself a pat on the back). I guess I really can’t expect an e-retailer giant like Amazon to stay up to date on everything that happens in the market but I would have been more impressed if they had the new Mini 1000 [Portal page] featured in the ad.

Hey, if they’re going to display one, they may as well display the best looking netbook ever conceived.
No doubt, the 2133 is a beaut. If it weren’t for the terrible performance, I’d probably still own mine.

Clarion MiND launched in USA for $650

To be exact, it’s not a MID because it doesn’t have EDGE/3G/etc.
