Never paid much attention when I first heard about this thing but seeing it now in action it looks pretty cool. The price point isn't too bad either $200

I have an Asus Netbook EEE myself, and really do like their EEE lines. So would be a pretty cool little unit I think.

Even from the video there the screen looks easy to read. It's b/w only though, so I'm not sure why they have a camera (taking pictures of whiteboards/charts maybe?)

It probably saves them in full color.

Maybe? I dunno.
It has a 10 hour battery life apparently.

Yeah, my netbook has a 14 hour battery life, so I don't think the 10 hour is a stretch. And I have testing the battery up to 13 hours on my netbook.

I love my netbook, it plays most MAME roms, it's like having a huge arcade at my disposal any time :)
I never thought:
1 - You'd buy a netbook, being that the screens are so small and res so bad
2 - That you could play a MAME on a netbook... as they don't really have great processing power or video cards
I'll have to try #2 on mine and see...

Yep, I bought one for bringing with me on trips or just if I needed a computer handy. It runs Windows 7 and scales up pretty nice.
I put MAME on it to see how well it ran and I was genuinely surprised by the results.
I used to bring it to work and play fighting games with an XBox360 controller at lunchtime :)
I lent it out to a friend of mine, I should see if she's still using it.
