   I got this to use as an ebook reader. It will load the software for most ebook formats. Great for use on the subway. I also use the wifi feature, and get on the internet with it also. Good for taking meeting notes with the pen, and can attach a full sized keyboard with USB. Just right when you need something more than a PDA, but don't need the larger screen of a laptop.

   Screen intermittant right out of box-- twist the case a little and would come on and off-- finally started to work-- alas-- 2 weeks later completely laid down-- no screen output--( sent it back and got my money back) mighty expensive tablet to fail outof box--- look for extended warranty if you just got to have size-- p.s. the joy stick entry is useless--- if your going to type on it you need the keyboard --- you can get it and case bundled for about 75.00-- its a must. *** CHECK OUT THE SCREEN WHEN YOU FIRST GET IT-- BE SURE ITS NOT INTERMITTANT!****

   First off, this computer is very slick looking, like a sports car. Second, it's great running on XP (I've heard that Vista runs meh on the device). Third, and the reason I love this device, is that it's that happy medium between PDA and full fledged computer. I loved PDAs when they came out (had 2), but they got merged with phones. I think the developers have stuck gold with UMPCs. Pros: Small Long battery life (better than the SSD Asus 4g computer-which I have) Immensely portable 2 USB ports Good amount of RAM (good for XP, not for Vista) On device keyboard (okay, maybe not, but it's better than nothing--you can always attach another keyboard to the thing) Cons: 800mhz is too slow for higher end applications (then again, why would run high end stuff on this anyway?) Some advice: If you want this, get it with XP installed. If you want Vista, wait until they come out the 2 gb model with a higher cpu speed.
