The size is not nearly as bad as some have said.

It's tiny. Everyone who's seen or touched mine agrees.

The earbuds are no good.

I'm ignoring them. I used them briefly to test it while I was having dinner last night (Ruby Tuesday's in State College, on my way home from Orbisonia I got a Karma, dinner, and 5 gallons of ice cream. Mmmm, productive)

Mine came with what could not possibly be described as a case.

Likewise.

The dock is well designed, but the neon lighting is cheesy.

I like the neon. I dislike the absense of ethernet without the dock, given no USB support for not Windows, so maybe my dependence on the dock will change that (like of neon).

I haven't used it extensively yet, so I can't comment on the rest.
