I'm glad they switched to ARM and keep working on this, but...

I just cannot get into the idea of a thin client given that storage keeps getting bigger / cheaper and bandwidth doesn't seem to be getting cheaper (a case could be made is more expensive). I like the cloud for backups / sync, but I still dream of an pocket device with a couple of terabytes.

Google seems to be working on that. :)


I would believe that if they had bought Sprint, T-Mobile or won the spectrum auction; but fibre in one city is not very exciting if you're not in that city.
