    I've been waiting for a less expencive tablet PC... This might not be the one for me, but if a trend picks up to make them cheaper, I'll grab one soon.

    Are those standard gnat's asses or metric?

    A tablet that size actually sounds pretty useful. I'll be interested to see how well it handles Vista and how internally upgradeable it is (RAM, HD, etc).

Hey, be nice. Icrontic is full of good people, we promise.
