All you have to do is ask … well, then sort and manage and prioritize and plan and implement after the flood of feedback comes in.

But ask, and ye shall receive from consumers. (one of the Open Innovation commandments for business)

@Zoli,
You bet – SAP have a special Powerpoint generator to make sure every slide is filled with words, and at least 2 complex diagrams. They certainly haven’t heard of Guy’s 10/20/30 rule.

@David, you may have experienced a lack of power points, but I’m sure there was an abundance of PowerPoints

@Sig,
I’m sure that the lack of power points and the variable wifi contrbuted to a lot of us sticking to the BlackBerry or the iPhone in the sessions.

@Zoli,
It’s fascinating how this new Netbook category is developing – I think it’s great… a few years ago a mini notebook was an ultra-premium item only a few could afford!

Jan, CrunchGear just reported on an even cheaper version: $309. But as I commented there, I am happy with the few extras mine will have @ $399.

That’s funny, i almost bought one too. Looks like a pretty cool machine, i played with it at a shop a couple of times. The quality of the whole thing seems to be much better than the Eee PC, would appreciate a review

Looks like I’m a perpetual Windows-prisoner: just ordered an Acer Aspire One, one of those tiny netbooks, specifically as a travel/conference “blogging machine”.

Hi Zoli,

actually did the “very different count in the keynote theater, where the real corporate folks are”… and the result?

Pen and paper mostly, nary a laptop in sight except the analysts and bloggers… hang on a sec, nope, the bloggers had their Nokia/Blackberry/iPhones instead, twittering live!

Jan, I bet you also have that *other* type of windows in your office
