heh, it kinda looked like IT on life support...
for some it does, at least in their mind...
about point 3, no the kitchen stove is not that kind of place.
given that much of the features come from bluetooth profiles, i would say they should work fine with other phone brands to. at least they should be able to work as bluetooth remotes and vibrate on call or message, but i wonder about their ability to show call id or track id when paired with non-SE phones.
outside of price, not much. as its linux based, and appears to allow for software install, i suspect the community will have a field day with it if the price comes down.

and i wonder why people think its dependent on a smartphone...
im guessing they will find a way to shink it down and connect it to the computer in a wireless way.

hmm, maybe this will be the usage area that those MIT people working on wireless power needed ;)
re ciscoguerrero:

memory stick? as in sony menory stick? that does not look right when looking at the gallery. looks much more like CF or some multiformat port to me.

as for the multimedia thing, i think i would go with either a phone or a dedicated device given that the last thing wanted is for this one to die at the moment its really needed because i was watching some movie or something.

i see both the announcement text and you talk about a 5 hour stamina with wifi on. but what about wifi off? how long can it last then?
1, 2 or 3?
no wifi? i thought that was the way forward for handheld devices these days.
hmm, does it support bluetooth keyboards?

if so then a bleutooth frogpad in the pocket should do the trick for sms-ing ;)

other then that, why no SD or similar?
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm pretty much a complete noob when it comes to camera stuff. My wife loves to take pictures, though. So much so that she literally wore out her first point and shoot camera, and the Kodak Z712 I bought for her less than two years ago is starting to act up as well. To compound the matter, we are expecting our first born sometime next year. I fear the Kodak just isn't going to cut it any longer. What would be the best starter DSLR to get? She hates missing photo opportunities due to camera 'lag' so speed would definitely be at the top of the list. Photo quality and features would be next. Price should be no more than $800. I'm not interested in video capabilities."
