I am calling first blog post from a Smartbook with this entry. What is a “smartbook” — it’s a non-Wintel netbook with 3G wireless and smartphone-like battery life This is being posted from my Lenovo Skylight which is operating perfectly out of the box. Stay tuned for more as I get used to its keyboard.
I saw someone I knew walking the other day with what looked like this clear plastic lunchbox with one rounded side. It looked like it had some colored material inside – I really couldn’t tell as I saw it at a distance.
Since I knew the person, I thought I’d just rib them a little. Seeing the thing they were carrying, I called after them “Hey, is that your skylight lunchbox?” I felt like I was back in 3rd grade.
Ironically, it was a skylight in some pre-GA packaging kit. So, the shape is iconic, and immediately recognizable, even at a subliminal level. That’s probably a really positive sign for things to come.
I think there are going to be hundreds of unique stories… will be interesting to read some of yours.

So is this badboy going to get a battery test on your upcoming trip across the Pacific?
The packaging is awesome. Very well executed. I did not bring with me to Beijing though.
