    It isn't what I would have hoped it would be. It's a larger screened Ipod Touch.

    The idea that you can add a small keyboard and make it an effective mini pc is getting there, but I think they've intentionally missed the boat. Back to the drawing board, there is nothing new here. This made the Ipod touch and new kindle much better options in my opinion, seeing as true innovation is a long way away. I don't get the idea of this as a backlit e-reader. Those have been out for ages. The kindle is a hit because it doesn't burn the eyes.

    "That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there."
    -Eric "George Orwell" Blair

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
