Feed Description: Welcome to my blog. I am a total Java geek that lives in Milwaukee, making my living as an architect/developer, spending all my time with Java, J2EE, OO, Linux, and open source. In my spare time, when I am not in front of my computers, I spend every other minute with my other loves: My wife, books, music, guitars, Formula-1 racing and StarGate.

I know what I want for Christmas! Well, besides 60-inch Plasma Flat-Panel HDTV TV. :) I just saw the launch announcement for the Sharp Actius AV18P notebook on Gizmodo and CNET. The Actius AV18P notebook is 1-inch thick, weighs 3.9 pounds and comes with 802.11b wireless networking capabilities. It uses the low-voltage mobile Athlon XP-M processor from AMD and has 256MB of memory and a 40GB hard drive. It comes bundled with Windows XP Professional Edition.
The introductory price for this notebook is $1,399 for the short term and will be $1,449.00. I am not really a laptop person, but this would be nice to have some mobility around the house with a nice, thin laptop. Sounds like a better solution than smart display concept that uses 802.11b to give you access to your Windows XP pro desktop from anywhere in your home. Ahhh, To Dream...
