Very cute, but I’m betting you can’t run the programs/ tasks I can. :) Nicely done though.

the Sierra Bluetooth keyboard is fantastic to type on. Due to upgrades and 10 years of using handhelds I am on my fourth keyboard. I wouldn’t use anything else and it is just as comfortable to use as my Logitech Wave keyboard-and even quieter. I use my keyboard with an HTC Advantage. It has a 5″ screen and you can type on it all day long. How much easier is it than a netbook? I also have a 10″ EeePC and I prefer the HTC and the bluetooth keyboard to the netbook. It is smaller, lighter, just as easy to read and the right shift key is where it belongs. To each his own but the HTC Advantage or the Viliv S5 UMPC and a Sierra Bluetooth keyboard would meet all of my needs every day of the week!

About the four way pen try http://stylusplus.com/ They have a number of great pens. I use the $13.50 one all the time. Loosing 15 bucks is a lot easier that 30 or more and these things do get lost. I go through about one a year, however they will last forever. i have one that is 4 years old and going strong.

It seems to me that this setup defeats the whole purpose of a pocketable device. If I’m going to take that keyboard with me, I might as well take a netbook that already has a keyboard and a bigger screen. What I’d like to know is how the onscreen keyboard is doing now after a couple days’ use. Seems like that’s a more likely usage scenario for most people.

Does the ink feature work on the device?

That combo looks a dream. All it needs is a 3g radio and MS Onenote, and I’d literally kill ppl to get one. (Dramatic, I know).

It may not be practical for you but for me the slate format is perfect. As James and Kevin often point out, we all have our own usage scenarios and these products can become personal. When I’m mobile, I’m mobile. I’m not doing any hardcore writing. I’m not a blogger, I don’t use Twitter, and I don’t send e-mails longer than a few sentences so a keyboard would just get in the way. Adding a bluetooth keyboard when necessary is far more practical for me.

Mine’s the smallest of the two with a FULL-SIZE keyboard. I hate small keyboards.
