The lack of protection is a big detractor for me. One thing about the 770, I could always smugly tell Palm owners that it came with a case; not that I had to shell out another $50 for a metal one.

If I wanted to surf from my couch I'd use a laptop. I want a portable interenet tablet to be yanked from my pocket at a moment's notice... not from some gawdy foam case reminiscent of those 'number 1' hands you see at football games.
