I don't quite understand the bit about the cartridge. So is is just a screen and keyboard that needs guts in the shape of the cartridge?

Whatever, it looks a bit of a brick but i have to say there is deffinitly a market for it. For me that screen or a psp sise screen is the minimal that i will allow my self to spend a significant amount of time looking at, for aesthetic as well as comfort and health reasons.
A UMP is too big to carry around casually and a pda is too small a screen to excite me.
I'm willing to pay around $1,000, for a device that size that can do most things.
I think these companys think wifi etc is the new internet. By that i mean it's a buz word and everyone thinks the customers are desperate for it. I for one would never need it. I think the bubble on wifi being a feature in everything will burst at some poing. Also, companies love it cause it allows them to create afte sales services such as downloads that they can charge for. I just wanna upload everything i might need to do via my home pc and not pay some company for stuff i already have on my home computer.

Anyway, as soon as a company brings something like that out, maybe a bit better looking and slimmer, then i'll be ready with my $1,000.
I won't buy a zune or ipod cause i dont want to be beholden to the company that sold it to me for how i use it. I won't buy a psp or ds cause it wont let me do other stuff. And i won't buy a collection of gadgets cause i dont wanna carry a whole load of crap around.
I want one converged, open device about the size of this thing that can play mp3's, games, movies, take photos, make phone calls, be a pda and other things. When it's in a shop window i'll open my wallet and hand over a grand.
