Kev50027: If you are using the unit in tablet mode with the screen turned vertically, the USB ports *are* on the side.

JC: I haven't had anything refuse to run on it, although I do get warning messages from Yahoo mail that the screen resolution is too low (and then when I click past it, the mail app works just fine - go figure).

idiscuss: it's a touchscreen. While others have had inking issues, I, personally, have had no problem with inking. I love that I can just touch the screen with my finger - particularly when reading an eBook.

Seriously, what's the catch?

The company is located in California so I would think it's released to the US, right?]]>Mar 17th 2007 10:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/17/hands-on-with-the-flybook-v-ultra-connected-ultra-portable/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/17/hands-on-with-the-flybook-v-ultra-connected-ultra-portable/
600 pixels vertical? That is too low. I use programs where the windows are 1024 by 768 and can't be adjusted. Fujitsu's p1610 screen is also 8.9 inch and is 1280 by 768. This is the clincher for me. If it were 1280 by 768 I'd get one.

Battery life is the second thing for me. Let's see how long this thing lasts.

I contacted Dialogue at their Taiwan headquarters two times, a month apart, with two simple questions, and have been kindly ignored completely. I expressed my group's interest in the V5 and noted their CES rep said it'd be "immediately" available after CES in LV. Three months later, still no response. Really makes one wonder about their customer service. Our group (over a half dozen individuals) were interested in each obtaining the V5.]]>Mar 17th 2007 10:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/17/hands-on-with-the-flybook-v-ultra-connected-ultra-portable/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/17/hands-on-with-the-flybook-v-ultra-connected-ultra-portable/
Also, the post did not make it clear about what kind of tablet screen this computer uses, does it use the active digitizer found on most tablet pc or does it use pressure sensitive touch screen like those on PDAs? that is actually a quite important spec for a lot of potential users to know before they buy.
