Too bad it's way to big to put in your pocket, and Microsoft sucks.

But other than that, it is pretty nifty.

not to big to fit in a bag or purse though

and no, it doesn't

[ambisis]

Um ... a large purse, yes.

And yes, it does. On so many levels.

[zaxhereyay]

since when do you have small purses?

and without examples, it's hard to make a point

Its an oversized pocket pc. I don't see the big deal here. There's really no advantage to this thing over the current generation of tablet PCs. The remote control stuff is probably just a local (and certainly proprietary) implementation of a VNC server type of setup. The ad is flashy, but this really isn't anything new. Its not small enough to be any more portable than a small laptop. I just don't see the appeal.

It's a cool concept. I want to see if they can get it to work.

Comparing it to an iPod isn't exactly fair to either. It's not simply a digital music player. As a simple digital music player, it would suck, because it's too big. It's smaller than a laptop, though, so it would be convenient for a handbag.

On another note, click here for awesome.

well...its microsoft, all right...

I wasn't really comparing it to an iPod, i've just been waiting for someone to come out with a really great all-inclusive, and this looks like it might be it.

Ja, maybe. I'm cautiously optimistic.
