Anybody else get a really strong Sony VGN-UX50 vibe from these devices ?
These MIDs are much more appealing to me than the UMPCs have been thus far (though they are improving at a good clip as well). As for having your phone do everything, yeah...having been to Japan I've seen the future 'Kevin' is describing.
But me personally, I wouldn't want to watch a movie, listen to music, or surf the web on my phone (screens too small and I'd rather not run the battery down for frivolous stuff). So a tiny computer running a full blown desktop OS with the option of the integrated keyboard or a folding full size one, and a 5" - 7" VGA/SVGA+ display is pretty appealing to me.
The real question is whether or not there are enough people with similar tastes to allow such a device to break out of niche status...
