The device looks beautiful — fantastic screen! But WTF!! Why would I spend $200-300 for essentially — a RADIO??
For the same amount I can put my substantial music collection on an MP3 player and listen to the built in radio when I want! Plus I can add pictures and video to watch and share.
I’d love to see this form-factor *completed* with flash memory and OS to become an mp3 player.. then, and only then, would they get my $200-300!
Well, it’s a bit more than a radio, taking into consideration that you can save the stuff you listen to – but I understand what you mean lp007.
