Summary: On the plus side:
) WINDOWS MOBILE Operating system-- so no real threats for viruses, which is an issue when using wireless internet with other operating systems

3) Offers both wireless AND bluetooth connectivity
4) Large screen reduces need for scrolling online (though not entirely eliminated) especially when viewing in landscape mode
5) Includes a fully functional MP3 player limited in capacity only by the size of the memory card you want to install
On the minus:
1) Wireless use does affect battery life rather quickly... fine if you're basically using wireless to sync online subscriptions via AvantGo or other such services, or viewing a few select pages. Less so if you need to do more intense internet-based work.

I\\\\\\\'ve tried the ThinkOutside keyboard and it doesn\\\\\\\'t even work. Asus tech support now says they have asked their
