I'm not saying this is a good product. I'm not sure it is. That is besides the point.

I think the point is that it is a different approach to what the Archos 9, a Windows tablet. This is a browser in a box. Maybe browser in a box isn't a good idea. Maybe it will bomb.

There are two main features/bugs to this: Browser in a box & tablet. Saying "why does it only browse the web?' is like saying 'Why doesn't it have a keyboard.'

Not having a keyboard is a good idea. The keyboard is a waste of space.

It should just have bluetooth so you can hook up a keyboard if you want.

They have all this hardware... it wouldn't be hard to turn it into something good. That's why I said what I said. Because all they need is an OS and bluetooth and IMO it would be worth the price they set.

Sure. You want a Windows/Mac/Linux tablet, not what this thing is. Those are also available.
