Well yes and no. It's more an iPod Touch, as so far, a phone variety hasn't been announced. It has an impressive screen, which still remains to be great or indifferent until you get it in your hands. I expect it to be good, but to retail around £600, so probably a bit dear for a device you won't always have on you.

A yank asked me once why we call it Autumn and not Fall. I replied, because we can pronounce words with more than one syllable. He just looked at me blankly. ;-)

One of the first things said was it needed to be better at doing things than an iphone and a laptop - Ive not seen a lot that convinces me it does that so far.

How are you meant to work on it? With it lying flat on the table? That's why Netbooks are good at what they're designed for.
