For $199? What are you comparing it with?

Benson gets it right for me in his comments about the website. Information is so scant that you might conclude they have something to hide.

What indeed can you do with the Mini Book without the other expensive parts? The AIOS apparently boots in USB Host mode, but there is no Host port - not even a USB-for-Toys port (aka OTG). OS runs on the SD Card, so you can't pop another card into the slot. Other than the TV-out, I/O are completely dependent on wifi and BT. (b/g/n wifi is nice, though.)

Exactly for 200 dollars you get 8gb, 2mp HD cam, HDMI port, USB host, 1ghz TI Omap 3360, 4.3(854x480) Kickstand, Wifi 802.11b/g/n ETC. The smartbook is a unique design form factor you can't deny that in my opinion.

true, the design is special. question is if it can gain any kind of momentum.
