What do they advertise you can do with the thing? Read email and webpages. That's it. I will still have to carry a laptop to run my 8000 other applications, and my phone so that I can... uhh, make calls. Does it fit in my pocket? No, it has a 10-inch screen. Therefore this device is useless to me. Oh, and guess what, my laptop fully syncs with my SmartPhone so that need is filled. Go back to the drawing board Palm. I wonder how much this device cost them to design/create/deploy? Hopefully it's less than the $1000 they'll recoup. I completely agree — there’s no way anyone in their right mind would buy it.
