Yeah, still unimpressed. It didn't change my opinion in the least.

A touchscreen is a nice interface when physical space is of utmost importance (like when you're going to be putting it in your pocket), and in gross movement of on-screen items, but as the sole text input for a device of that size? Nah. (And as soon as you add the dock and keyboard, it just gets that much less portable.)

What would make sense is a wireless keyboard that clipped to the back of the device. Leave it at home when you know you won't need it; have it at hand and recharging off the tablet when you do. Having a lightweight stand built in would help, too.

Honestly, the one thing that would have made this device awesome is a camera pointed at the user. A configurationless portable video chat device would be a winner, I think.
