So <em>that's </em>where Microsoft's Courier design went... ;-)</p>

This video helps to make more sense of this device. My initial reaction when I read about this was "huh?" Seeing this puts it in focus.

The device is intriguing; said that I do not like:

The choice of W7 Home as default OS, Professional would have been a better choice

The hardware does not seem to have hand writing capability

SD Card?

I still prefer the Courier format: a classic Filofax one

Processor seems a little bit underpowered; I do not care of ten hours battery life; give me 5 hours and the ability to run things fast.

Price is not an issue; after a while it will drop and early adopters do not mind to pay a lot for a device.
