Yup. I think specification-wise its very promising indeed.

Not sure I could sacrifice a keyboard for battery life though. Touch decision!

I think it looks VERY nice. As long as you can use your finger with on-screen keyboard, it looks perfect for its purpose… Mobile Internet Browsing.

You can find more photos and video from the product launch here:

You can see the UI layer demonstrated.

Also, the right side has a hinged panel which has the USB plug hidden behind it along with some data port. The power plug isn’t covered.

finally a pocketable secondary PC thats actually cheap enough to buy. i really dont care about a KB since this would be used almost entirely for content consumption on-the-go.

[...] today’s product announcement gives us hope. Maybe the Kohjinsha announcement too but without real drivers in the wild, it’s not enough [...]

hmm..

downside: no keyboard.
upside: higher res, faster cpu.

so.. here are my questions:
1) i wonder if this thing will overheat. doubt we’d know until it releases on stateside (hopefully soon)
2) steve: do you think it would be too big? it’s about 14mm longer & 8mm wider than the AIGO.

I personally want something that I could potentially fit in a pocket (maybe a big pocket). anyways, still a very interesting device.

I skipped over those comments. Was rather annoyed at the smartphone/netbook comparison too. This obviously has nothing to do with smartphones or netbooks. Its not a total-convergant device. Its a device for pros, specialists and people that really understand. Mainly the refined readers of UMPCPortal!

People that desire quality web, desktop OS in the hand, HQ screens, long online battery life (many of you readers here) will totally understand what i’m talking about.

I *don’t want to replace a smartphone* with a device like this. Or a netbook. I want it IN ADDITION. I, and many of you MID and UMPC focused people are prepared to pay for the best right? If this is even $500 with 3G, its an absolute bargain.

Just 400 USD? i doubt it to be that cheap outside Korea. It seems to be a nice device though.
