This will fit perfectly in my manbag. Im.. bagging.. one of these for sure.

Agreed that clothing manufacturers should start thinking about making bigger pockets. This BS about something not fitting in your pockets is getting ridiculous. Have people really stopped carrying stuff that doesn't fit in their pockets? It would be easy to make lightweight leather cases that you could carry a tablet in. I'm not sure of the definition of a purse, but times do change. If you can carry media content with a larger screen, then maybe it's time for men to start carrying purses/cases or whatever. If you can carry a netbook, then you can carry a tablet.]]>Jan 8th 2010 7:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/dell-divulges-mini-3-details-tablet-mini-5-caught-running-an/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/dell-divulges-mini-3-details-tablet-mini-5-caught-running-an/Get a black one, like mine, although mine is more like a bookbag(sac a dos) which holds my scriptures and crosswords.

Carry it in a belt case. Use a bluetooth headset when you are just using it as a phone. It is what I do with my HTC Magic. Half the time, in the car, it is clipped to a windshield mount acting like a GPS. At home it is an ebook reader and web browser. Definitely would love to get more screen real estate!]]>Jan 8th 2010 4:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/dell-divulges-mini-3-details-tablet-mini-5-caught-running-an/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/dell-divulges-mini-3-details-tablet-mini-5-caught-running-an/ backpack, briefcase, etc. ]]>Jan 8th 2010 5:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/dell-divulges-mini-3-details-tablet-mini-5-caught-running-an/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/dell-divulges-mini-3-details-tablet-mini-5-caught-running-an/Jan 8th 2010 1:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/dell-divulges-mini-3-details-tablet-mini-5-caught-running-an/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/dell-divulges-mini-3-details-tablet-mini-5-caught-running-an/

Nonsense. I could totally use this as my day-to-day phone. Since 90% of what I use my phone for is web browsing and email, this ginormous display is ideal. This should fit in my pockets just fine.]]>Jan 8th 2010 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/dell-divulges-mini-3-details-tablet-mini-5-caught-running-an/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/dell-divulges-mini-3-details-tablet-mini-5-caught-running-an/
Totally agree.

Do an informal survey. Take a look around you and see what people are *really* doing with their "phones". 90% of the time they're sending texts, browsing the web, playing a game, or listening to music.

Every morning I ride the subway and I don't hear a single phone conversation. Everyone is doing a million and one things with their "phones" other than talking.

The guys I work with are constantly complaining that their kids are running up the "phone" bill due to excessive text messaging. Who talks on these things?

Personally, I've been holding out for a 4-5 inch "internet device". I could care less about the phone part. If it makes phones call, great. I won't be using that functional all that much. Give me a big, hi-res display, and I'll be in heaven.

That's why I would buy an iPod touch over an iPhone. I already have a phone! I have Wi-Fi at home, and with my DSL, I get free Wi-Fi almost anywhere! So this would do me perfect!]]>Jan 9th 2010 4:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/dell-divulges-mini-3-details-tablet-mini-5-caught-running-an/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/dell-divulges-mini-3-details-tablet-mini-5-caught-running-an/Also completely agree. This type of device, with sufficiently inexpensive wireless broadband, is a game changer that the IPhone is not. Doubling the screen area makes the difference between a phone add-on and a practical browser. Those priorities are backward. The mobile browser is the real killer app. The phone is the add-on.

Android + browser could be the lightweight, thin client, open source OS that people already want on their laptops and desktops. First, the mobile internet device, then the world. Finally, the end of MS bloatware. It's certainly a better bet than other Linux desktops.

I liked the Archos 5 form factor a lot, but multi-touch was critically absent, and it seems clearly to be an element of the emerging UI standard for tablets, like the second mouse button on a Windows PC a couple of decades ago. I've also read that the Archos device is buggy, but I'd have bought software bugs if all the hardware was there. I don't see anything missing here. I'm salivating. I'll definitely own something in this category this year, and I wish I could own it now, bugs or no bugs. Software is soft. That's what upgrades are for. Take my money, please.

That slate is sexy. You may look funny packing something that big in your pants but when you whip it out everybody will want a piece of it.

It makes me wonder if I want to keep my phone and I think the iPhone is too big. I think 3 devices is kind of the key most techies can justify:
Desktop - Mobile (10-30" computer) - Smartphone

I was thinking of swapping my netbook out for a slightly lower powered device but now I'm thinking of swapping out my phone for one of these slates.]]>Jan 8th 2010 8:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/dell-divulges-mini-3-details-tablet-mini-5-caught-running-an/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/dell-divulges-mini-3-details-tablet-mini-5-caught-running-an/Yes.
