I gotta say... this seems interesting... something to watch. Could be a new wi-fi version coming on the horizon.

That price is with the "Smart Adds". That sounds pretty unattractive.

I'm sure that can be hacked/unlocked somehow? I just want the hardware and gps.

This device will fail so badly it will make the Ngage look like a PS2. I give it 6 months till they pull the plug.

I hope it fails and the price drops so that us hardware/internet-appliance hackers can get at it 🙂

It runs Windows CE and has an x-scale 400mhz CPU, so there is hope 🙂

this thing seems useless unless it has 60GB built in 😀

I'd say for the GPS ability itself it seems like a decent deal for the money.

the gps software will run you another $369
