    Looks interesting, but the question still remains WHY get one of these? They all seem to be missing a true purpose, since virtually every function they can do, can also be done by a decent smartphone, and for the same cost!

    I still think they're holding themselves back by going to WindowsXP on a lot of these devices. They should move to a customised OS designed to ensure that consumers know exactly what they're for, so focus on webbrowsing and media playback.

    I'd still like to see one that offered digitial freeview pickup and a dvd drive.

    A tablet PC is nothing new. This thing looks ugly.

    I think it looks quite nice. Its different, and whats what will sell it - its a small tablet PC thats like the Eee but with a touch screen. It bridges the gap between a smart phone (Like the iPhone) that is too small to use and a small laptop (like the Asus Eee).
