REDFLY now available for $499, purpose even less clear

Sure, we just saw the Celio REDFLY unboxed last month, but come on -- you know you really wanted one of the Foleo-like WinMo "companions" all to yourself, and now you can have one -- for $499. Yep, 5 bills to use WinMo 5 or 6 on an 8-inch screen -- and you can't use it at all if you don't have your phone. Or, you could spend your money on something 1000x more useful and get one of the million netbooks that have been released since this thing was first announced, but hey -- don't let a silly thing like common sense stand between you and your phone's desire to be loved. One more short unboxing vid after the break.

These have been selling for over a month now! We actually wrote a blog on them and what they do at http://www.expansys-usa.com/blog.aspx?p=218 and have had them selling for a while. Pretty cool little units for people traveling who want easier access to their units for certain functions.

It gives the WM[Anything But]Experts yet another overpriced, unnecessary POS to sell to their sheeple.

I ordered one and it should be coming Wednesday. I believe that the concept is very useful. No more tethering fees to get a big screen or carrying around a heavy laptop when not needed. Traveling to Europe with one of these and having a roaming data plan would be ideal for connecting to internet and doing something useful with file management, any time any place.
