Approximately 10" by 6". More like a smallish tablet PC than a PDA.
Sounds expensive, too.

Where's the Bluetooth, keyboard????
Default 64MB storage? 20Gb HDD is an option.
except for processor speed the pepper pad seems a better webpad.

What does it do for text input?
3 Hours is a bit short, is that with Wifi and everything?
Is there a portable stand or a fixed base when you want to use it with a keyboard?
Otherwise it seems a tad heavy, and it looks like a prototype from the 90's
The Best Cost-effective and real-time Platform With versatile applications, AquaPAD+ covers various real-time function such as order system (POS) used in restaurants, e-book system, GPS navigator, hospital diagnosis service, warehouses inventory management and so on. AquaPAD+ is a veteran wireless tablet appliance designed for optimal performance and real-time function. In the near future, AquaPAD+ is going to expand its function to home AV entertainment device.
That sounds like fun, except you can't do restaurant POS stuff with a 1,2kg machine that only runs for 3 hours, and I'd really like to see what apps they'll run to do satnav (with no bluetooth), etc.
