I don't need something pocket-sized, just something that will fit in my gadget bag (small camcorder sized) with the slow waning of the Zaurus, and the lack of a new Nokia tablet with a decent keyboard and lots of storage, I can see this would be a real winner!

If this one can beat the 4hrs online mark and stay below a 500€ pricing it will be what the sony should have been. For me personally its competing against the wibrain, with the keyboard advantage on the side for the umid but 6hrs online and 520€ without 3G will be hard to beat.

The probable lack of USB host might be a showstopper but that depends on the price.

I think most people feel the same way. I hope this thing is long enough so that two handed keyboard input would be doable? If it was 6.9" or more then it would be a great computer. If it is shorter than that it is not going to a big seller. For a phone a thumb keyboard might be ok but for more of a real computer I personally hate thumb keys.
