I like it… I really like it… sometimes you need the horsepower and convenience of a laptop, sometimes a micro better fits the bill (such as just checking e-mail). I would buy one though I fear I would easily forget it everywhere… so I would need to buy a leash to tie it to my hand as a backup for my own memory.

That other stuff is nice but the micro computer is better… any idea specs wise?

I agree with Eric, I hate thumb devices with a passion! I want a pocket size computer with a real keyboard and this is the first such product.

I think it is a great computer but I would prefer it to use XP tablet and have touch type screen. A little more processing power would be nice too. Lastly Korea seems ahead of US in wireless so maybe standard wifi in US?

I hope it comes to the US of A soon.

I think this is what I and millions have been waiting for a basic computer with a real keyboard (not those terrible thumb input devices) that can fit in your coat pocket. It comes with the cell phone that is built to connect to the side as a kit for under 2K and I think that is well justified in price vs value. This is the first pocket device with a real keyboad since Microsoft killed the handheld market by not continuing the OS.

Great device! Now when can I buy one in the States?

Also Win XP for 2008 model, what about running vista on there.

keyboard looks like a pain in the ass to type on, as does the mouse on the top right. Also I would be too lazy to fold that thing up. Such a small screen to work on, you can see that even in this video the demo guy has to scroll all around the screen. What are the hard drive specs and all this for only 2000 dollars.
