Pictures show the device sporting a chrome-and-black plastic look that's vaguely reminiscent of the iPhone, along with a nine-point directional pad. Besides certain internet features, X-Fi will also come with an SD card slot and a built-in speaker."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1215984102.usr10.jpg" border="1" alt="" /></p><p>The only internet feature I see mentioned is the ability to be used for IM, which is not really a big deal to me, but will probably be killer for a subset of users.&nbsp; I really liked the fact that they included a built in speaker though.&nbsp; This is one thing I would like to see more of.&nbsp; Combined with a clock/alarm, it makes a great addition to the travel functionality of the device.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
