I don't have a watch. I've been waiting for just the right kind to buy. I've tried the spot watches - no go. The e-ink looks very intriguing and well styled. It would definitely have a place on my arm!
only highlighting the celeron is very misleading. Their Core Duo slates will really sell and won't be on the sluggish side. I especially like the new dual-input options: touch and active digitizer pen.
It is actually a very nice device to hold. Th mouse buttons are in a very unique position so you can hold it with the meat of your hand while standing.
Has Vista installed, so the Tablet PC inking bits are there by default.
I totally agree with the comments here that if the eo had an apple logo on it, the praises wouldn't stop.
Also: you can not compare these types of devices to a low priced laptop - the functionality and needs being addressed are not the same. In addition, doing so is very irresponsible. They are trying to solve a different problem. Do those low end laptops have touch screens? No. Can you write on them? No. They are also 6" bigger, which tends be introduce mobility issues.
Granted, I'd love to see this device priced at $500 and we will get there eventually. But to see that a $1000 unit with 512mb ram, 40gb 5400rpm harddrive, 1ghz system is aggresively priced, you only need to look at other slates on the market, primarily the LS800 - an 8" slate which is priced at $1699 for 256mb, 20gb harddrive.
Aguish look at the other pricing options slow 512 ms, 40 GB harddrive Carl faster for only $100 more. compared to the othe "slates" on the market, (LS800) the price is real attractive. They will get better and lower. Wasn't Samsung's coming out at around $1100
Based on this cnet video, I can see plenty to like about the UMPC / Origami. Finger gestures, quick access to entertainment and other apps, 3g. I'd call this a great step forward for mobile computing.
"What's the best gaming laptop for under 1,500 bucks? I had my eye on the P7805u (Gateway), but it seems Best Buy has run out for the time being. Also, as a secondary question, I like the specs on brands such as iBUYPOWER and CyberPower and the like, but are they reliable? I'm a little worried about buying labels that aren't huge like Dell, Gateway, etc. Thanks!"
