   Hmmm . . . an interesting device but the specs are barely enough to run Vista alone much less accommodate very much of anything else. I'm not sure what problem this is designed to resolve. Any small notebook could accomplish a good deal more. Still, the more I look at it the more interesting it gets.

   I have to agree with Cobra here, I'm not sure how practical of a device this is, but it sure looks darn cool.

   Wireless HDMI? How'd they get away with that? Intel has been paranoid as hell about keeping HDMI locked up to a cable between devices.

   I hear ya. Like I said, the more I look at this product the more intriguing it looks. The mini-monitor on the end is a brilliant idea. I'm just worried about the really minimal specs of the core system. If it were beefed up a bit I'd feel more comfortable about being able to actually "DO" things with this device.

   I will say that given the price, there are more powerful and useful alternatives available. Although I wouldn't discount the atom entirely, due to it's acceptable performance with Windows 7. I believe it would have made more sense to wait for Windows 7 to release, and pack it with this product, although if Vista is used, then customers can be enticed to shell out more for the upgrade they "should" receive for free.

   This is funny - remember old Z80 based computers? I assembled mine inside the keyboard. Was plugging it into the TV. Every new invention is a well forgotten old one.

   Well, most "new" ideas aren't really very new.
