We're still waiting for word of an official release over here, but that hasn't stopped the Mintpass Mintpad from winding its way to the US direct from Korea, and one of 'em has now wound up in the hands of the folks at Pocketables, who have promptly done a proper unboxing. In case you missed some of the earlier hands-on videos, perhaps the most striking thing about this one is just how tiny it really is (head on past the break for a comparison shot), although Pocketables says that it's well built and "makes a positive first impression when held in the hand," even if the bezel is apparently a bit chunky. They were also impressed by the accessories available out of the gate, including a stylish silicone sleeve, a screen protector, and a handy cradle, which you can also check out by hitting up the link below.
LOL wut @ the size comparison shot
very cool item
Please stop combining different mini computer components to make redundant gadgets. It is very fashionable though!
It looks nice and all, but I don't know.. it doesn't seem very practical. The screen is too small for web browsing and typing.
whoa, completely not what i expected...what is the exact point of this, just a pmp?
Does it...umm..taste like mint by any chance?
Just how small to these device get before they become impractical because they are so easy to lose or cause eye strain and headaches? I would say were just on the borderline of that now.
And maybe soon we won't need to place our crummy website links at the end of our comments.
What's this thing do exactly? Can someone tell me why I should want one?
You should consider reading the article.
What, you mean the article that says some other website unboxed it and there's lots of accessories for it? That says NOTHING ABOUT WHAT THE THING ACTUALLY DOES?
@smak
I think you are mistaken. Please find a gay website at this address http://www.365gay.com/.
@ smak, where's your site? if you're gonna try to be witty at least have the smarts to back it up here on the spot with a much better design and layout. Personally I think his site is layed out fairly nice. it's to the point and gets it's message across without hassle. You might want to try better next time okay sonny,
I like this tiny device, I would buy one. It wuld be a better way to connect on the go, no not the psp, and it's just so damn small. The dock for it is also very nice. Whomever is designing this for them, I hope they continue this trend.
UH OH, Looks like I offended all the gays. My bad.
from what I can tell its a bigger, square version of an ipod touch you use a stylus on, I assume your fingers too.
Might be a hit, but its kinda big for a pocket.
I have been following the Mintpad for a while - it just looks so irresistible.
Has there been any word on Mac compatibility?

I'd have thought that you'd have known if you drop a link, make sure it rules. Listen to smak.
