Crap, I consider my 17" laptop "mobile", and the FlipStart is about 1/4 the size, with 3 times the battery life... AND an included RevA mobile broadband. Seriously, what is wrong with giving credit where credit is due, and allowing people to form intelligent opinions about a product without bashing it? ]]>Apr 3rd 2007 4:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/flipstart-handtop-now-shipping-sprint-ev-do-rev-a-available/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/flipstart-handtop-now-shipping-sprint-ev-do-rev-a-available/The proportions are wrong, including the price. Nuff said.

"It looks crap."? Exactly how is THAT intelligent?

As for proportions, that particular picture looks to have a high(er) capacity battery mounted on it... whereas some pictures out on the net depict a MUCH shorter battery.

I do most certainly agree with you about the price. I think it should be priced around $1450 or so. Perhaps if this company plops another product on the market, it will address the shortcomings of the current model.]]>Apr 3rd 2007 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/flipstart-handtop-now-shipping-sprint-ev-do-rev-a-available/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/flipstart-handtop-now-shipping-sprint-ev-do-rev-a-available/
have you seen the OQO? that is the right way to build an ultra portable, it has a form factor that works for an ultra portable size, you can hold it with two hands and type with your thumbs. then slide it close and slip it into a large pocket or bag. The Sony and Samsung have similar designs for their ultra portables.

the problem with this thing is that it wasnt well thought out. Its your basic laptop design scaled down to a smaller size. Its unimaginative and the basic lap top design doesn't work well as an ultra portable. You cant type on that the same way you would on a lap top because the keys are smaller and that extra girth it has doesn't allow you hold it and use your thumbs to type. also the track pad is way up at the top, why is it there?

Finally, it looks dated, the design looks like something fisher price would have made in the mid 90s and called it My First Laptop.

If I am going to pay $2,000 for an ultra portable I want it to look damn sexy too ]]>Apr 3rd 2007 7:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/flipstart-handtop-now-shipping-sprint-ev-do-rev-a-available/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/flipstart-handtop-now-shipping-sprint-ev-do-rev-a-available/]]>Apr 4th 2007 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/flipstart-handtop-now-shipping-sprint-ev-do-rev-a-available/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/flipstart-handtop-now-shipping-sprint-ev-do-rev-a-available/Apr 5th 2007 10:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/flipstart-handtop-now-shipping-sprint-ev-do-rev-a-available/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/flipstart-handtop-now-shipping-sprint-ev-do-rev-a-available/
