Can you use a stylus on that thing? Could be useful for taking notes. And while we're on that subject, does it have enough horsepower to run Office apps like OneNote? Does it support PDF?Let us be lazy in everything, except in loving and drinking, except in being lazy – Lessing

It's a 1GHz ARM processor -- much slower than Netbooks.
It'll support PDF (just as iPhones do). It runs iPhoneOS.
No Stylus."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

No Adobe Flash support, same problem as iPhone/iTouch. How can they claim a best-ever interwebs experience without it?
Seems that it's unlocked, so non-AT&T access is presumably possible. Although the data plans they announced are ATT/no contract.
Seems nice enough, but not a device type I'm interested in. Would be sweet on an airplane.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

I'm not a consultant anymore, and I rarely fly on business these days. The only place I could possibly go is Montreal and people here know of my opinion of Montreal and its inhabitants."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Yeah, laptops on planes are a pain though. I don't see how this rectifies it as I have to hold the ****er the entire time."I hope I get to punch you in the face one day" - MRT144, Imran Siddiqui
