I think this thing is vaporware, but even if it's not despite better specs, this device doesn't have the same appeal as the nokia n800...
honestly the operating system can make or break a device like this... the n800 may not be for the average user who just wants to check stock quotes, IM, troll myspace pages and look at satelite images of their house on google maps.... but it runs an open platform that the hobbyist / technically inclined user can really run with...
When buying a device such as this, you have to look beyond what comes in the box, but at the community of users who support the device and contribute to its functionality. This is largely a function of how open the hardware and OS are.
