Sounds like this one was by a naysayer - but caught it on Comcast (http://www.comcast.net/News/TECHNOLOGY//XML/1700_High_Tech/3decbe95-c112-4cdb-9f07-088b00963c34.html)
Business-card sized screen????

There is the same one from Yahoo!
Tho I can understand their point. :p The are not looking at the UX from our point of view - Obsessed!:D. We have been waiting a long time for something like the UX. I can hardly wait another 19 days!! :eek:

I know! I've been hoping for something w/both bt and wifi for awhile now. And this thing seems to be a perfect pair for my BT Cellphone and wireless network at home! All I need is for AT&T to offer unlimited SMS!

If you ignore all the bad stuff, it's a great review :)

I don't think it is too bad of a review. He points out the good and the bad things in the device.
The bad things he brings up, I can live with.
Screen:
"business card" size: I wonder if this reviewer is a PDA user at all. I know for a fact that the screens on my TG50 and my iPAQ 2200 are smaller than a biz card. I'm not worried about headaches as I read ebooks exclusively on both devices and have never had a problem. (haven't read a dead-tree book in over 3 years!)
Sound quality on recordings:
If I wanted hi-quality video and sound, I'll tote around a true video camera. I'll be capturing the impulse videos with this one... like the drunk woman singing horribly at karaoke... or the kid picking his nose and wiping it on his sister... again... no need to capture these moments in high-def.
WiFi being slow:
I think he was a very crowded starbucks... not worried about this one.
All-in-all... I'm looking for a reason NOT to spend my money on a device like this... and if anything, this review made me want one even more.
Cheers,
Mr. Pink

I didn't get the part about syncing and having this whole import export thing... Can anyone explain?
Mr. Pink

I think he was talking about the fact that in order to transfer stuff with clies... you have to MS Export???? maybe?
Not sure.
BUT since I have bluetooth in all my devices and computers, I'll just browse my UX like a normal external drive and be done with it.
Cheers.
