I'd like to use it as is for web browsing however. If i can get WebEx to deal with it's Linux Java issues, i won't need to go Win7 on it.

That is the growing population and if this is simple to use many will use it. Also, how about a simple way to write a letter and plug it into a printer? I will buy this for my mom if it has these two things. For the elderly make sure the print is large enough for them to see.

I imagine the battery life will be somewhat limited as well. Great idea, but just like any other first gen device, it needs time to get better.

I want at least 8 hours. Oh, and I have to be able to recharge it in my car like a cell phone. In fact, I think it needs and ARM chip, like a cell phone.

I cant wait for these to be released to use for watching baseball games and chatting on http://www.LiveBaseballChat.com but the only problem is that with a netbook and wifi i'm not sure what additional value this is going to be offering. I think i'd miss the keyboard for typing. Cheers, Dean Will it have a virtual keyboard though?
