I suppose you'd like 3 or 4 machines to do what this one does in one machine - with both Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity? It makes the Kindle and other one trick ponies look like stone tablets. _________________________

Basically it's like a 10" iPod Touch. Sure, it's lighter than a laptop, but this gadget is a toy nonetheless. _________________________ Yes. I can haz a biz and site, no?

MacBozo Nut Dood Registered: 04/20/02 Posts: 16988 Loc: Pinellas Park, Florida	What gave you the idea that this was a professional/business productivity machine? It's a consumer device with multiple capabilities at a great price point. Personally, I don't need an iPhone - a Touch would have been nice, but this thing does so much more. I can turn my attention from a MacBook to this. _________________________

John Rougeux Here Registered: 11/06/08 Posts: 5272 Loc: Louisville, KY	I would look at this seriously, but I would rather spend a little more and get a laptop where I can actually use it to work with.
