So what does everyone think?
I might be a bit bias, but darn those are some nice specs.
Looks like it's done right, and hopefully the phones will soon follow.
What I like is the fact I can tether my BB through Bluetooth to this guy, no 3G/4G plan needed. Saves me some $$$.
True multi-tasking which should be no problem for the 1Gig RAM and dual-core processor.
Doesn't look like there will be the microSD slot though? Which is no doubt disappointing for some.
Only thing is, it's not available until early 2011. Misses the holiday season.
Now...who is actually going to be buying these $600 devices for someone else.
iPad or Samsung VS Laptop/Netbook @ the same price, Laptop/Netbook offers much, much more for the kids. I find the tablets more for grown up people on the go. Not for some kid to take notes in class slower than molasses on the touch keyboard.
Christmas season is more for purchasing things for other people. If this releases in March, everyone will have the bills paid off (hopefully!) and then it's time to spoil yourself.
