Yeah, it's neat, but ... 2 year lock in, no add on slot, non replaceable battery, no GPS, soft keyboard, and yet another platform that's fond of lock in? Meh.

This looks like it.. a bit bulky but has all the major checklist features, and it looks like nothing with next gen features (higher res screen, usb host mode) will be available for a few months.
 
I especially love the name. It means you can easily find it on net searches.

Nice that it has all the modern checklist features - [[usb mini]] for charging/synching (though no usb host), qvga screen, [[gps]], wireless a/g, and even full size [[sd]]. Plus 128MB of RAM? I'm wrestling over the requirement for a keyboard.
