They charge more for $130 for a $20 chip, but I wonder if they have to do any kind of kickback to AT&T to get that unusual data plan.

It's an interesting device at a good price point. I don't have a need for it, but I can see a lot of less tech-needy people loving it. I may consider future revisions of it when additional features are added.

That was your mr nimblewick wrap-up.

This joke isn't played out yet?

The Wii comparison is exactly what I've been thinking about since all the "iTampon" idiocy started. Eventually people will start referring to it as a "fad" and then just rant about it not having any "real apps."

You wouldn't choose it over a laptop. You would choose it over a netbook. And I would do that because because you can use it standing up.

@cosmicinglewood

Man, you really are a complete ass. Listen to yourself sometime.

@CJ

You didn't actually say what advantage a full os would have over a mobile one in a tablet.

Unless you are looking for a complete computer replacement, which you shouldn't from a tablet, I don't see the point.

Can I get some goat cheese or feta on that sandwich?

@CJ

I guess I don't really see what you are looking to do on a full OS that you can't do on iphone OS with apps. Multitasking will probably be added in the next version, if indeed the tablet does run it.

It just seems like having the full OS is only going to add bloat and, shudder to think, window management.

It's a neat idea, but no one is actually going to want to carry around the shell.
