Obviously they did it for chairity.
Where is the nipple / touchpoint?

Plus it looks cheap and crappy, plastics from blister pack packaging...
Pity entering text on a virtual keyboard is absolute rubbish and slow. I hate the virtual keyboard on my ipod touch.

Thing is if it can be made less sucky it sure makes devices more compact.
Why?
Because typing on a smudgy screen sucks. And precisely the reason Palm, Blackberry etc. include a proper keyboard that you can actually type fast on with their phones.
Popular amongst the nose picking spiral staircase owning crowd apparently...
Change the design.
Slidout / folding keyboard and a touch screen so it can be used as a tablet as well as loosing the need for touchpad / mouse. Include 3G / wifi / bluetooth for connectivity and so one can still take a call if your sim is in it...

Their strengths are accessing the cloud in a very portable light format. All the current generation are just cheap poorly spec'd laptops. Time for a re-think as these are not replacing real computers for work rather they are an ultra portable device.

Thanks Jon,

That is a deal breaker for me. Pity I was actually quite excited about this...


I wooden buy that, in fact I am going out on a limb and will suggest
yew wood likely not get one fir an affordable price.

I would hedge my bets, and deciduous on a regular system. Go against the grain and leaf
it alone....

"The iPhone is the easiest smartphone to use"

Good thing too, if you are lining up for a product for which there will be no shortage; and rabidly loyal to a consumer product manufacturer then you are likely not smart enough to figure much out on your own.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
