Not a chance. $500? Why? Did they do ANY research on this? Is this a release of a new product for the sake of a release?

- It's $500 - hello? I can buy a full laptop for that kind of money. I carry a 700wx and an HP tabletpc tc1100. If I didn't have the tablet, I would just be carrying something else.

- It's not small enough

- If it included EVDO and GSM radio's (like the new world blackberry) and I could use a bluetooth headset, than we would be set. I have been looking hard a OQO Model 2 or a Flybook.

- You are trying to make the smartphone the core of my world? Are you kidding me? Not going to happen.

The only people I could see using this, thing, are people who are web dependent, have oodles of money to spend on a data plan (remember, I am from Canada and data plans are $100 for 200MB / month) and have no use for a fat client.
