Place your bets: what device is arriving today?
Hmmm….my favorite visitor, Mr. FedEx, is stopping by today. What could be on the truck? I’ll give you a hint or two: it’s mobile, it’s new, and I haven’t seen anyone else get their hands on one yet. Have at it in the comments while I go dust off my front porch. We treat the FedEx folks real-l-l-ly nice at my house.

I’ll guess a new smartphone.
A NEWWWWWWWWWW CAR!!!!!!!!!!
Nah, it’s either a box, or perhaps a swerve, a envelope.
It weights 9 lbs, yet it’s mobile? I guess you’re going back to the “since they weighed 30 lbs” days :)
Can I guess?
Laptop with a dock and a really heavy power supply, perhaps…
Apple Tablet! ;)
A stocking stuffer from Lenovo, perhaps?
Well, it has a reference (PCS)Kendrick and it originated in Houston, Texas. Could it be a uber cool mobile device that James built in his spare time (between midnight and o’dark hundred)? Or perhaps it is Flash along with 7lbs. of Texas’ best barbecue!
It’s an asus R2H i bet… mine is coming today but it weighs 9.9lbs… maybe mine has .9 lbs of awesome accessories they only send to canadian customers…
Fujitsu ST5112?
Figure the outer box, inner boxes, and packing materials weigh about 2-3 pounds or so. Manuals, cables, discs, etc. probably another 1-2 pounds? We’re looking at something in the range of 4-6 pounds. Certainly within the range of a decent tablet slate or UMPC. A convertible tablet might be pushing it, but not out of the question. Can’t wait to find out!
Perhaps the rumored Nokia 870 Internet Tablet?
At 9lbs of weight, I’m voting its the printed copy of the Windows XP EULA…
