I own one, and besides collecting dust on my desk, I don't do much else with it. It is a very cool gadget, does tons of stuff ok, but nothing great. Both cameras are ok, but don't compare to my digital cameras or video cameras. The screen is way too small, and my eyes start hurting in about 10 minutes of trying to see when surfing the internet. Typing is much more difficult than typing on a laptop. It's still much larger than a cell phone/PDA, so it's just weird, it's neither nor. I thought it would replace my laptop AND my blackberry, but it didn't neither. I would suggest buying a 12" screen laptop, or even the sony 10" screen laptop if you need something small and portable, the screen would still be useful and typing would be much easier. Otherwise stick to the new pearl blackberry pda, or the treo. Believe me, the novelty wears very quick, and then it just sits there collecting dust. Spend at least 30 min. playing with it, and try to do different tasks - word, internet, e-mail, camera functions, and etc. and determine if you would prefer to use that instead of your laptop/phone/digital camera/camcorder...
