I've read both articles.. his main argument "the IT is not a phone" and you need to buy one to connect from everywhere is plain wrong: whoever is going to buy to IT already HAS a phone to pair it with. Putting a phone IN the IT WILL ACTUALLY force you to pay another phone (the IT itself!) and at a higher price (as it'll be a very nice fully featured and very capable phone). I think he totally missed the point here. But I have to admit that MANY of my friends always ask me: is this a phone ? My answer: no, it was not meant to be. Their complain: why not? it'd be the top with a phone inside. Again: 5 minutes of usage, won't help you understand the Internet Tablet idea.
