Point taken. It's just that it seems to me that, given the state of our technology, it has been possible for quite a while. We have pocketable PCs, and we have instant-on capability. We can fit the full Windows OS onto a single chip. I believe the only thing stopping these companies from doing it is how much they want to spend on the solution, and how much profit that means they'll take home.

Think about this: How does "instant on" make that device cost twice as much as a larger and more powerful laptop, and four times as much as a basic PC? Granted, it's not quite that simple, but even so, those numbers just do not make sense to me.
