It's rather slow (600 MHz ARM11 CPU - no Cortex/Snapdragon here), so "full internet experience (flash...)" is out of the question. But can still do 720p HD video and is really cheap at around 150 EUR, which will probably translate at around 150-170 US dollars for you guys.

Hopefully it will get upgrade to Android 2.x instead of 1.6 and access to google app store and it could be nice device for home/couch.
