Really, really glad I did not have a mouthful of soda when I read

For my two cents on the thing:
A) it's a Cintiq that is not a one trick pony (ditto, ebook reader)
B) there will be plenty of interest in jailbreaking the thing, which  
means the multi-tasking issue is already resolved
C) if it has a USB host controller so you can transfer data from, say,  
a digital camera, then this is a good alternative to a netbook

I'm not interested in Chrome or Android, because they both have too  
much google in them. I went with used 2G iPhones to get my PDA phone  
fix.

My only other real question is when will we see Newton print  
handwriting recognition on it?
