Of course!! The 4705 is designed for landscape!
Hey guys, I was looking again at the design of the 4705. I finally figured it out! Most people will say that they don't like how the top of the PDA is almost the same size as the bottom, right?

Well think about it, if you're in landscape mode, wouldn't you like to hold a symetrical device in your hand? since we usually hold the device in our left hand and use the stylus with our right, isn't it logical to give us some room to hold the PDA with. Imagine holding the Asus, for example, by the tiny piece above the screen. I'd be afraid I'd drop it.

And in landsape we won't have the option to hold the device in the palm of our hand like we do in portrait mode. This design makes sense now... It also will look a lot happier in landscape since, aside from the writing, you can barely tell which way it should be held.

I love it more and more. Can't wait for that touchpad (check here to see why).

I think the Synaptics pad will grow on me too... It gives you another option if you don't want to constantly pop the stylus out.

Me too... It is a mystery when it will actually be "released".
