portability aside,  this is a lot more stuff (more screen, more storage, more connectivity, more a/v optimisations) than a comparably priced 3100, though.  even if you add a bluetooth keyboard.
The price is higher than I'd like to part with this afternoon, but not all that outrageous for the stuff you get, imho.  You cold buy a used 6000 for about the same

I'd love to get a app set for this thing in OE. be nice to bring it into the fold. but there's not much interest here for it.

I dunno.. get OE and pdaX to build for it.... combine with a small bluetooth smart phone...  nice solution.

There will be interest here when a few people buy 'em, I think.

I do wish they had gone a little smaller though..say a 7' screen instead of 8.4..and everything else proportionally smaller. especially since it has video out.
