Looks cool, but a little gimicky.. I highly doubt you'll be playing multiplayer Halo in an airport... what is it loaded on the harddrive?

I find that product a bit odd, it's too big to keep in your pocket, and too small to do anything useful on except perhaps keeping notes and reading e-mail.

Yeah, much too big.

It will crash every 15 minutes.

Its a cool concept, but yeah, I see it being a bit too big for lugging around.

It's one of those fancy star trek pads. Needless to say, I'm disappointed.

i like the size. its hard to pick a good size i think. too big and you might as well have a laptop/tablet pc. too small and you cant do too many things and the things you can do are already covered by pdas.

its a product that fits right into the middle. maybe a lot of people will be content with carrying it around, who knows.

Depends on the price...I'd expect its going to be ~600...too expensive for me, but we'll see.
