Talk about a steal at $1400!

/sarcasm]]>Jan 5th 2007 1:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/s-xgen-folding-umpc-goes-legit/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/s-xgen-folding-umpc-goes-legit/
Some of the technology benchmarks have been upgraded since that first CES show, but it's still not enough machine for any single purpose.

It's just too bulky for such a device. It does NOT fit into a pocket, unless one has huge pockets. I used to believe convergent devices would be the rage but this device demonstrates they won't be the rage.

1400 bucks for the device is way too much for a toy! But, someone will buy it, but not me or anyone I know. If it hits Overstock for a couple of hundred bucks, I'd consider buying it.

Seamless is releasing a solution in search of a problem. It does a lot of things, but doesn't seem to do anything well. In a few years, we will be saying to each other "do you recall that goofy looking device? Whatever happened to it?"

I'll be hitting CES and will check it out though.]]>Jan 6th 2007 10:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/s-xgen-folding-umpc-goes-legit/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/s-xgen-folding-umpc-goes-legit/Jan 5th 2007 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/s-xgen-folding-umpc-goes-legit/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/s-xgen-folding-umpc-goes-legit/Jan 5th 2007 2:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/s-xgen-folding-umpc-goes-legit/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/s-xgen-folding-umpc-goes-legit/Jan 5th 2007 2:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/s-xgen-folding-umpc-goes-legit/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/s-xgen-folding-umpc-goes-legit/Jan 5th 2007 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/s-xgen-folding-umpc-goes-legit/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/s-xgen-folding-umpc-goes-legit/Jan 5th 2007 3:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/s-xgen-folding-umpc-goes-legit/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/s-xgen-folding-umpc-goes-legit/Jan 5th 2007 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/s-xgen-folding-umpc-goes-legit/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/s-xgen-folding-umpc-goes-legit/Jan 5th 2007 3:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/s-xgen-folding-umpc-goes-legit/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/s-xgen-folding-umpc-goes-legit/Jan 5th 2007 3:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/s-xgen-folding-umpc-goes-legit/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/s-xgen-folding-umpc-goes-legit/
I think the device's shape could use some work, I agree with boolean, either go ALL round or go ALL square, don't stop in the middle of the road. The device is clunky- and the screen's small size makes the whole unit's proportions look terrible.

Other than that, looks promising!

Eventhough it does look a bit like a prototype. It seems to have pretty decent funktions & a massive Keyboard (when compared to the HTC favourites). The SGXen surely isn't everyones taste but it would do the job esp. in larger corporations in replaceing laptops / mobile devices.]]>Jan 6th 2007 10:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/s-xgen-folding-umpc-goes-legit/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/s-xgen-folding-umpc-goes-legit/1. Too expensive;
2. Keyboard looks good, but the whole shape doesn't;
3. Close-up picture reveals crap quality plastic casing. At least, seems this way;
4. Specs are still bad. Needs a little more improvement.
5. Dunno how the screen works... but those will never be practical until they find a way to detach the screen from the keyboard. Then again, that is also valid for most notebooks around as of today.]]>Jan 6th 2007 6:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/s-xgen-folding-umpc-goes-legit/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/s-xgen-folding-umpc-goes-legit/Jan 6th 2007 11:43AM
