Geez, I remember a sale on 5.6" digital frames for, get this, $99 back in 2001. I bought them as christmas presents, and have two for myself. Even at that small size, it's great. LOVE it, and it doesn't even do video.

I have the TyTN, on the Cingular network, and find it ho-hum to disappointing. I upgraded from a PalmOS Treo 600 on Sprint. Compared to the (relatively ancient) Treo 600, the TyTN is SLOW, hangs a lot requireing resets quite often, has the annoying microSD card (so the max you can add is 2GB at a time, making music + GPS maps hard to carry at the same time), has a proprietary headset connector which means you can't charge and use a wired headset at the same time (basically making a BT headset mandatory), and overall I find the OS much harder to use (more steps to get each task done; I mean why is it so damn hard to search my address book for an internal note reference????). I'm going to keep it and look for 3rd party add-ons to make it more usable, although probably even LESS stable, if that's possible. I wonder at least once a day though why I switched.

I think for some business travelers it could work. What if I want to travel small and light. I take a WM5 smartphone, folding keyboard/mouse, and these. Using a basic external battery, I could easily work transcontinental no problem without lugging a laptop or having it shut down every three hours...

If I got off my butt and actually got all the stuff I just mentioned, I'd actually buy this, even at that price. However, I'm just too lazy.

Yet again, another Defense Department funded effort by people who have not a clue about what really goes on in a warzone... How's that SWORDS program going? What? Still not working? Still not arrived in OIF? Huh... who would have figured....

Ahhh, yet another day to beat my head against the wall.

Actually, I don't think food is going to be their only target. GE has their plastic sights set on cars, and has for years. Yeah, I know they have to make it more scratch resistant too (which they've been working on as well), but start imagining the volume of plastic sales if you start replacing windows in cars. Part of that solution is apparently this.
