It is so thick, and the overall shape and design looks so stupid. Could it be designed 20 years ago? I would not take it over $500.00. Wait, no way, I have no place to bring it with me.

Why would someone want one of these over say, a Samsung Q1U-V? They weigh about the same, but the Q1U-V is $300 cheaper, has a bigger hard drive, more memory, a larger screen that's a touchscreen and has longer battery life.<br><br>The both have tiny cramped keyboards (although the Q1U's looks more cramped than the Flipstart).<br><br>The only real advantages the Flipstart has is the Sidekick display on the top and the faster CPU and I'm not sure they're worth the extra cash. You could use that to get the Q1U-CMXP adding an HSDPA modem to the unit and upping the HD to 80GB.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jeff Lewis]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 2nd 2007 4:54PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on FlipStart sees $500 price reduction, now sits at $1,500]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/flipstart-sees-500-price-reduction-now-sits-at-1-500/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/flipstart-sees-500-price-reduction-now-sits-at-1-500/</guid><description><![CDATA[dude, this thing is pointless...<br><br>Sony, UMPC             Flipstart<br>core solo 1.3ghz     1ghz pentium M<br>1Gb of ram             512gb of ram<br>40gb hdd                  30gb hdd<br>slim sleek, touch screen    ugly ass design<br><br><br>sure the sony cost like $300 more, but it is so much better and sexy looking]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hunkbeet]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 2nd 2007 6:27PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on FlipStart sees $500 price reduction, now sits at $1,500]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/flipstart-sees-500-price-reduction-now-sits-at-1-500/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/flipstart-sees-500-price-reduction-now-sits-at-1-500/</guid><description><![CDATA[This is major!<br>A sign that an update is coming?
