SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS? You must be joking; you’re joking – right? I can buy 3.55 Asus eeePC netbooks for that much.

That’s pretty loaded for a device that small.

I remember the Sony UX UMPC’s which cost a LOT more than this.

I believe James Kendrick put it on the S5. So, I’d assume this would run it as well.

I think I’d still go for the S5 over this. That extra half a pound will make all the different in the world.

I used to use a Fujitsu u810, which weighed about as much as this X70. I know a pound and a half isn’t that much, but when you’re holding it for extended periods of time, it may as well be ten pounds. It really makes your arms ache.

I think I’d have a hard time every purchasing a hand held device that weighs over a pound, after the u810 experience. Hand held devices are a completely different beat than netbook/notebooks the weight plays more of a role than just portability.
