That does look like fun for $150. Good chance to play with Android without springing for a phone and plan. KMart, huh. Haven't been in one of those for years. Might have to though.

I hadn't been in one in a while either. The store was much improved, but still worse than a walmart or target. But I was really surprised at the service. When I went in on Monday, the employee told me to come back and talk to the manger on Tuesday as they may be able to help me out. I was surprised that a) the employee had told the manager I would be coming and b) the manager had taken premptive action to solve the problem that was relayed to him and basically had a solution to offer to me when I walked in the door.

Their electronics cabinet was also an odd mix. What I found really weird was that they had a $150 netbook running Windows CE, not something I'd ever expect to see at a local chain store.

Interesting. Seemed very slow to start up, no? I'm a bit confused by the use of a stylus and finger. Certain functions require a stylus? That reminds me: Note to Reviewer (and potential reviewers) - please keep hairy legs and/or untrimmed toenails (talons) out of the frame ... doesn't make a great backdrop for tech gear, despite the disclaimer. But, for $150, interesting!

I'm actually out of my home town on a business trip this week, but found a local KMart on the net. Called to inquire and they had none, but offered a rain-check. No point as I won't be back in this town for a while. They were quite helpful on the phone. Will have to check when I get back home.

Kmart has failed me so doesn't look like I'll be getting one of these. :(
