I must say, this was a gorgeous little thing. It looks really compact and nice, but if it's slow with Vista, then it fails. Will it be expensive?

It'll probably be very expensive. Good design by the way.

When you start to get into handheld gaming size I'd appreciate a joystick/mouse knob on the side. Why hack a PSP when you can run MAME?

Vi$ta (a.k.a. XP DRM Edition) is a bad choice for a mobile CPU. Seeing as M$ has extended the timeframe for XP Home on UMPC/Low Power laptops I wonder why the big V is on this thing.

It appears from the measurements of about 3.3 x 7.4 x 1" and the pictures that the keyboard is long enough for touch typing like clamshells years ago like the HP Jornada 720? is that right?

If so I would definately see this selling very strong to mobile sales and executives whom would rather have a pocket laptop. Can I buy one in the US now or when?
