For what I use my current Motion Computing tablet for, this may fit the bill in an even more compact (and less expensive package). When I take an honest look at my real-life use, I basically do:

Email
Finance (Miscrosoft Money)
Music
Picures
Video
Everything else is W?BIC.

As such, I could basically use this as a desktop replacement and get the portability to boot. That said, this is certainly not for everyone and I don't know whether I will go with a first generation one of these.

One thing I read was that 'future versions' will be compatible with Vista; don't know what that means but it doesn't I don't think it bodes well. It seems to be following the Windows Mobile philosophy where if you want to upgrade the OS, you have to buy a new device and/or rely on OEMs to provide it (which has been generally disappointing in my view - I give you HP as an example). Hope that was just early misinformation...
