if it is actually around 300, it wont be worth it. You can get a netbook for 350, and it will do much more then that will.

pomokey-

right! like I was saying in my reply to rushringleader - $200 is where they need to be at.

Nah, I have no real need for it.

rushringleader-

I think more people would dig it at the $200 price point. That's not such a big purchase but you get to around $300 and you have to think about it and then you go wow i can get a whole netbook for $350ish and what not. Just seems like a better device at $200.

badamc- it would definitely be a product that you don't NEED but rather just have for that time where you didn't want to grab your laptop to look up that actors name on imdb while you are watching a movie - you know what I mean?
