I agree and have said from the beginning (losing track but well over a year ago) what others are saying. Build this concept into a netbook (I said umpc in past) that allows instant on and you have a goldmine if they can keep the price down near today’s netbook prices. A software option would be a nice alternative.

I’ve played with the older version and I can say that it sounds like the RedFly C8N covers all the major issues I saw. But as a stand-alone product, I would expect this to be closer to the $100 mark given the price of a netbook in the market. Love the idea, I understand they need to make profits but it just seems way out priced (kind of like the OQO devices).

I’ve heard through the grapevine that Blackberry support may happen this year. :)

I could see using this if it would work with my Blackberry.

Another perspective. Kindle class money, Kindle sized screen. Still can’t read books with MS Reader and your HTC Fuze. :-)

I have no interest in owning a device like the Redfly, but I would pay for the software. It would completely kill the need to add a tethering plan to a smartphone. On the road, I can easily get by with Skyfire and Opera Mini.

I keep thinking that this would be a great idea for apple. Instead of the iTablet that everyone wants, how about just a big touch screen that wireless connects and displays your iphone screen.
