You use a little stick and the screen as a touch pad. You can even write and it will turn your writing into printed letters. I've never used it before so not sure how good it will work but we'll see. That deal is only available till midnight though. But with that price..and with the realease of the 800..prices may be around there from now on(maybe).I almost bought it when it came out for like $400. Granted that was a long time ago. So figured at this price couldnt go wrong.

It's not a phone though, so don't expect it to store your stuff and make for an easy text message sender. I am gettin it to view 3-4 sites of mine including BBW..and mostly for Email. Just don't forget you have to be in a Wi-Fi area to use it. Most of my friends, and most restaurants and other places you go now are all starting to have Wi-Fi so not a problem. Makes it so you don't have to pay any monthly bill or anything at least.It's definitely better then logging my laptops around everywhere I go..then taking 10 minutes to boot it just to see I don't have any mail.Plus I'll look cool

So this is basically a laptop but smaller and a lot cheaper with no ISP you have to pay for?

Yeah, but obviously not intended for heavy use. I wouldn't sit on this thing for hours though or anything, because it doesn't have much memory. Just something portable you can take with you to view the net and check your mail with WiFi. Seems to be pretty expandable though from what I was reading..after I get it I'll look up all the things I can do with it and whatnot.
 
wait my friend bought his for 3000 dollars .... urs was only 400? wth ...his has navigation screen with it and stuff to maybe thats why

Im at my campus all day, and I always have to carry my laptop around...this is a great substitute...plus its linux...it's customizable in every aspect.
 
Yeah def. I heard if you install gizmo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gizmo_Project and http://www.gizmoproject.com/download.php you can use it as a free internet phone service if you're in wifi of course.Also heard you can install something to make it a GPS too. Ton of other things am reading too.Only problem is it's not that big so surely won't be able to support ALL of these things...but maybe it will. If you buy it you def need to go to ebay and spend the $20 on a 1Gb RS-MMC.
 
woo! Just got word that my tablet's shipped...expecting to get it this friday...but who knows with FedEx.
 
<span style="font-family:Arial">I got mine today as well. It's alot faster than people were saying, it's not slow at all. How do I set my own background Combs?</span>
 
I dunno, I didn't get to that yet. Yeah I thought mine was pretty fast as well, I really like it..gonna be great for emails. The Handwriting to text doesn't work well for me though because I write weird.My guess is it runs slower when you add more things to it of course. Right now it's bar bones like when you first get a computer and it's lightning fast. Speaker could be a little louder for the radio but not to bad.

Id get one but the only place around me that has wifi is mcdonalds and I got better sh*t to do then sit around that nasty place all day. I use wifi sometimes with my router on my DS but until more places have wi-fi I see no need to get one of these.

Buffalo Wild WIngs, Hooters, any bar, any place of work...maybe your town is behind.
