The camera is pretty poor but it typical for what you get in a gadget
where the camera is not the primary feature. I don't find it all that
sluggish though.

It seems that Nokia has had a decent amount of success with these
Internet Tablets. I can see them evolving the hardware at the same
pace. They have already mentioned plans for a WiMax version when that
becomes more wide-spread.

It is pretty plump

 and twice the price. Interesting specs though. I wonder what Linux
they would be installing. I personally think that using a desktop UI
that is built for a mouse on these things is a mistake.
