looks like a kindle mixed with a palm mixed with a blackberry

All it does is email. This is one gadget that won't have a long lifespan.

You can send sms messages on it too.

Is that a calculator ??

If you look at the trend in computers, these guys might be on to something.

That might give it a boost, but don't most cell phones do BOTH of these tasks now anyhow?

I haven't had a phone in 6 years that wasn't capable.

i had one of these about 10 years ago, it was called a motorola timeport. that was before emailing and texting existed on phones though. i dont see the use for this thing.

It doesnt do anything most phones do, why would anyone want to carry two devices...

I'm waiting for someone to create cassette tapes that you can record audio to and then listen to in your car or wherever you have a cassette tape player. Man, that would be so cool. Revolutionary even.
