[username99123]

I tried almost everything to get one, but i live in canada, i beged the compagny but they wont ship to my country, and i have no clue why, and now this product are discontinued, i bidded on ebay, and i got outbided at over 900$ so i think i will nevermind. this make me sad because this laptop looks like the most handly one cauz u dont have to used all ur fingers to type on a table, u simply use it like a gameboy on a sofa... ahhh :(

[CynicalPhuker]

There are a few Flipstarts on Ebay right now, one only has a single bid on it too.

what the fuck is the point of a thumb keyboard you have all that space whats wrong with a keyboard you can touch type with? Its not a remote fucking control

Bigger than the OQO, but smaller than the Q1b. I'm trying to buy one as cheap as posible, but I'd like to do everything a full computer can do. I'm looking between the Q1b and the EO. What would you choose?

I am confused, you got this when new so you must have paid 2 grand, and you seem to love it. But on your website where you recognize that this now sells for $699, you say you are not sure if it is worth it? You say other umpcs are a similiar price although i have never seen one(and no, i do not include the Asus as a umpc because its not a real computer) What changed your mind so dramatically?

[imnotafob]

is the flipstart bacicly a laptop? or smart phone?

[BensFabricFreinds]

its a laptop since you can also play games on it such as World of warcraft. So i class it as a laptop

[YTMrVulcan]

JK opens the FlipStart up at 6:45, but I guess that even I could have prepared much better than he did.

[wupyourass]

rather have an oqo 2

[lad1509]

where do you all jackasses see the word "review"?

he said "first look', do something productive with your lives other than talking people down.

thanks for the effort kev.

What a truly AWFUL video review.

If there was a list of things NOT to do this guy is doing it.

1. Bright light in picture.

2. Points out features we can't see.

3. Was totally unprepared for it.

4. Static video position.

5. Needs desperately to be cut way down.

I laughed when he said this would be a 2min video at the start. 20 mins later he is still going on...

[bummers]

JKonTheRun ... please don't put a light source behind you while shooting a video. It causes the auto light balance and apperture to dim things down.

Nice vid in general ... but the device looks outright ugly. 5hrs batt? Sony Vaios have extended batts that give that batt life and more and still looks sleek.

[bryanjk]

good review, its specs arent the best for its price... but one of the best UMPC I have seen so far

[sverresverre]

I love the way he has no clue how to operate the basic stuff like opening it. I also love the way he tries his best to make jokes. This is interesting enough in itself, the corny jokes are pointless...

Oh yeah, the dog is priceless

Funny how you don't mention any of the glaring negatives:

---very old 1.1ghz pentium chip used

---ONLY available with 512mb NON-upgradeable ram

---very heavy unit at 1.8POUNDS

---extremely expensive at $2,000 plus taxes

You must get reimbursed by them for sugarcoating it.
