Ok, i don't get a lot of things.

Football been one of them, it just does nothing for me, watching men kicking around a ball..... no emotions at all.

Rugby can just about intrest me, if i'm watching from a good seat a twickenham.

So i accept i'm not one of the 7 out of 10 cats.

Then again i'm not one to subscribe to the minority pursuites such as having my pale white ass buggered or the use of apple products.

But i just don't see how these are of use to ANYONE.

My mobile phone has that resolution, and its smaller too. This device is quite confused, yes its got HDMI and 32gig memory, but its not really that portable is it? If your going to lug that 7" thing around, why not go an extra few percent bigger and get a netbook, with a keyboard, and an integrated HSDPA modem? You could even get it subsidied by the network for a lock in.

Is there something i'm missing?

Out the box, the Journe Touch is touted as a instant-on solution to social networking, with YouTube, AceTrax, FrameChannel, Picasa, Flickr and MSN Messenger services supported as standard.

It's for those people without real friends, just the virtual ones they've met online.
Besides, who doesn't want to know every single time, no matter the hour, Ashton Kutcher passes winds and tweets that he tweeted ?

might have to bring out the fail whale again!

You know, on the surface it sounded so good....

I can only assume that it's going to be dirt cheap to make up for its lack of any useful features...
