While reading the
blog post about Viliv S7 , I came across the following reasoning there:
They promise that the 3G version will be able to transmit voice messages. So if you have deep pockets (in all senses), you can not carry a mobile with you, but use a netbook for calls.
And immediately deep thought took me. Is it really possible to carry a netbook with you in your pocket, like a phone, and answer calls with it?
The first obstacle on this path is the
netbook weight. The netbook sometimes weighs more than a kilogram.
(See examples in the comments.) So if the pocket is made of thin and (or) not too strong matter (and this is common, say, in jackets), then the netbook will sooner or later wipe it out completely and it will fall out, after which shattered.
To overcome this first obstacle, you can, for example, wear tight and durable cloth. An example that I will use further is a denim vest.

The second obstacle on this path is the
dimensions of the netbook. In width, a netbook is usually equal to the old Russian
span of the times of the Empire (and for our contemporaries I remind you that the imperial span is exactly equal to the four current
rack units ), and sometimes the netbook width is even more than an inch, sometimes even a whole bit more. But the span is an anthropometric measure, so you can simply portray it with your fingers (with a known inaccuracy, completely negligible) and impose on the length of the vest pocket. This picture will come out:

As you can see, the current pockets are the length of the span and the depth of the span. In order for a modern netbook to enter your pocket stand, you will need to expand the pocket inlet. And so that a netbook, tucked into a pocket, doesn’t constantly climb out of this pocket outwardly (a little more than half), it’s also necessary to deepen the pocket, moving its inlet (and sew up the old one) - that is, in fact, donate your clothes remaking Therefore, many IT professionals will probably not bother with overcoming this obstacle.
The third and most important obstacle on this path is the
size of the palm. As soon as netbooks are made today in width to the span (and sometimes even a bit wider), it is precisely why one doesn’t have to dream of taking them safely with one hand. Very hard would have to grab the user with his thumb on one side,
and one or two or three opposite fingers - on the other side of the netbook. And if the hand trembles, is it something then the netbook will fall and be smashed to smithereens? Not good!
You can, of course, overcome this obstacle - for example, grab a netbook on one side only, but with four fingers at once, and squeeze, and with your thumb rest against the back of the netbook. But how convenient is this sort of grip during a long telephone conversation, and whether the netbook will not turn out insidiously from a sweaty palm - no one can confidently and in advance see the light of what is to come.
In addition, if the screen is touch, then squeezing it feels indispensably.
Unnecessary, extra trouble.
