Aye got my first look at one last nite -- very pretty! The only
thing that struck me immediately, was the lack of screen-position switch,
which I would expect to turn the display backlight off when the lid is
closed.
Other than that, it seemed to have apps on it, plenty of
interfaces, and seems like an excellent portable terminal. I don't know if
I want one yet, as two trucks full of fiberglass insulation are a little
more attractive to me at this time!
