Essentially a 32GB iPod Touch with 2 Cameras, Blue Tooth, Wifi, GPS, 10 point capacitive touch screen, speaker and microphone, and 1080p output.

$399.99 for the "developers kit," and it runs Android or Creative's Plaszma OS

That looks pretty sweet!

Yep, heard about this earlier this week. All they need is a baseband radio in it and it beats the living shit out of an iPhone (minus existing app support that is).

They seem to be marketing it as a hardware platform, so it looks like a company is free to license it and throw a radio in it.

Sounds cool. Needs decent sound quality to stand out though. I wonder how it sounds.

Supposedly has X-Fi sound. The dev units should be shipping out in August so we'll have some decent opinions by then hopefully.

I'm interested in this, but what I'd really like to know is does it really taste like an egg?

Technically it's by "Zii Labs", a wholly owned subsidiary of Creative.

A 800x480 screen like the Nokia N810 would make it so much more browser friendly
