Any guesses on a real price point?  I'm gonna say $249.99 with a price drop in three to six months to $199.99.  After another six months to a year, the price MAY (depending on sales) drop another 50 bucks.

I bought it from Korea when it launched. I have used many PDAs including Palm Pilot, Palm III, Sony Clie, and Dell Axim x50v and like the Mintpad best. I can carry it anywhere (this device is the tiniest of all), take pictures, and make memos. And I use this to watch live tv streaming services. Best $140 I have ever spent in my life (if you are not a PDA type person, you might not like it).<br><br>One more thing. This tiny device can play most video files without re-encoding.

They added new features almost twice every month.  The Mintpad has better UI now than the one you see in the YouTube clip above.  I have never seen the company who reflects the opinions of users that fast.  Every time I show this device to my friends in the States, they all are crazy about it.  I do not think this device will be big like an iPod, however, if you are a reader of Engadget, you'll love it a lot.<br><br>And the Mintpad looks awesome if you see it in your eyes.
