: I hate to go against you all but this is going to end up being lame and overpriced like the AIR. There's a problem with this being "Apple's Netbook" since the things probably going to cost 800 dollars or more.

: Oh, my. Confirmation. My prediction (vs. a fellow young tech pundit) is that this represents the first breakaway tablet device. It's a given that it will have wifi. Other radios, like the iPhone, may be a value add. If there's isn't an exclusive carrier deal, they could make different flavors with EV-DO, HDSPA & WiMax radios that enable iPhone-like capabilities, with a similar pricing structure. Include Bluetooth for peripherals (mice, haptic glove, keyboard, [X] Wii-like interface) and you're rolling. BK is right; this doesn't appear as instantly transportable. And of course devices that are embedded as films on clothing or are unrollable will be much more practical to transport. It's not hard at all, however, to imagine holding a 9" tablet in the small of my back that's linked to a pair of Bluetooth glasses with a picomic, picospeakers, digicam and a project headsup display. That, of course, is so sci-fi that I'll probably have to wait at least a *few* more years to enjoy its use.

: Wow! We're honored and flattered :-)Here's a summary of the top 4. @louisgray writes: 1) Summize (Twitter Search) Search is still king, and real-time search is having a huge impact on the way people find news, share ideas, and see trends. Summize built its business around being a search engine for Twitter, and soon became more stable, and theoretically, more useful, than Twitter itself. The Twitter team, in desperate need for more engineering help, acquired the company and absorbed into the microblogging service. Expected Exit: Acquired - Already Complete Twitter's acquisition of Summize was a smart move, considering how real-time search is becoming critical in times of breaking news. Many, including myself, are turning to Twitter search instead of Google, Yahoo! and the traditional news wires to hear reports from people on the ground, unfiltered. 2) Socialmedian While many different sites have conquered the online activities aggregation space, Socialmedian went about the process in a different way than all the others, letting people not only follow friends and pipe in their shared content from a wide variety of 3rd party sites, but organized it in terms of categories. The category feature was so successful, CEO Jason Goldberg has been able to showcase specific events, including the 2008 election, and the financial crisis, and make Socialmedian a go to site to interact with "newsmakers". The site, starting from scratch in the Spring, has risen up to challenge FriendFeed, Digg and other sites for social news - and continues to grow at a rapid clip. Expected Exit: Acquisition by First Quarter of 2009 With Goldberg and team having raised so little capital to get the product off the ground, and having kept costs very low, with the development team in India, the bootstrapped Socialmedian looks to be a ripe target for an acquisition, in my opinion. Without strong revenues and the public markets the way they are, Socialmedian would be smart to find a strong content or media partner, to join forces and enable the service to continue its growth. 3) BackType Technorati and Google Blog Search, as well as many other directories and search engines have typically focused on the blog as the central nervous system for their offering. But as many would agree, it is the comments and conversation, no matter where they are, that have real meaning to blog authors and participants. While everyone was busy trying to see who could land on the Techmeme leaderboard or break new ceilings in Technorati Authority, BackType debuted a site that tracks comments by individual, lets you follow individual commenters across a wide variety of sites, be alerted when comments with keywords take place, and see charts that display keywords' momentum. Expected Exit: Acquisition in Second Half of 2009 The BackType founders are working together on their second startup, having abandoned the first when it didn't gain traction. While BackType doesn't yet have an amazing market presence, they have forged a unique foothold that so far looks unchallenged. With any luck, I would expect the BackType team to deliver more enterprise-capable brand and identity management tools that would enable the service to gain revenue and exposure, letting the service to remain independent through the majority of 2009 before finding a place within WordPress, Six Apart, Google or Twitter. 4) TweetDeck TweetDeck isn't a Web service, but this Adobe AIR application introduced new functions to Twitter usage that changed the game in terms of how people use the service. By introducing a multi-columned app that features groups, integrated search, direct messaging, and replies functionality, many are swearing by TweetDeck, and it looks like it may soon overtake Twhirl as the most popular Twitter application. Busy Twitter addicts including Guy Kawasaki swear by it. Expected Exit: Remaining Independent through end of 2009 Iain Dodsworth is continuing to upgrade the product, and it's widely rumored he may soon integrate multi-account support, as well as integration with additional services, outside of Twitter. If he can get enough people to donate or pay for the application, there's no question he could make a full-time living from the resulting revenue. The question is, will people who expect a free service to have 100% uptime spring for the app that gets them there?
