The website says theyll be available Fall 2004, too bad it'll cost an arm and a leg. It looks awesome though.

I seriously doubt it will be that expensive. I could see $1500, $2000, but not 5.

Lookie....a glorified palm pilot.

I don't see how this will be much use other than for updating contact information.

The keyboard is to small for doing any amount of serious typing.

I don't think it'll be very successful... just not powerful enough. Also, the motorcycle guy was typing with gloves on, I don't think that's even close to practical. It looks neat, but it's not something I wouldn't be able to live without.

The docking scene blew my mind. It looks just like when i have my Clie docked...except it isn't docked to the desktop computer...it IS the desktop computer. Bwhahaha.

On the downside, if that wanders away/gets put through wash/gets stolen...you are fucKed with a capital K

The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
