This internet show is sponsored by various large companies (Intel, Microsoft, Cisco ...) and have subtle brand placement within the show.

Sure, it has 3G and WiFi so it could be used as a mobile phone or skype phone, but the form factor is too big to be concidered a replacement for a phone. How would you carry it? It would look like a slide rule case hanging on your belt. I think they would be smarter to sell it as a replacement for slate-style MIDs and UMPCs such as the Q1 Ultra and their own Menlow platform devices. Too many companies seem to have iPhones on the brain. Z I don;t think they should be promoting this device as an iPhone Killer.

I think you want a portrait screen while navigating (seeing what's ahead of you is more important than seeing what's on the side). Even if you can rotate that, which it appears you can, it then wouldn't show enough on the side, I don't think. A square screen or fat portrait screen is better for navigation, IMHO. As that also appears to be usable as a phone, what advantage does it really have over an iPhone? Steve I think that form factor would be poor for GPS.
