The hardware is interesting but it has some seriously questionable "features". Expansion is via RS-MMC of all things.
The software suite is pure ABM which means it won't play well with PCs or Windows Media sites.
I suppose the LINUX crowd might make something out of it, but it kinda seems half-baked, as shipped. Coupled with VOIP software or a bundle of useful stuff it might add up to something someday, but like most LINUX products, it looks more like a roll-your-own toolkit than a real information appliance, which is what a webpad should be.
And, nice screen aside, the estimated price of $350-400 is pretty close to the Dell 50v.
I suspect that, by the time it actually hits the streets in the fall, it'll be a lot like the Zaurus PDAs; a yawner for all but the LINUXen.
Still, I like what it says about Nokia, that they're actually shipping this. :devilboy:
