It's not really a NIT competitor, but what I like about it is the layout. Functional buttons that can also be used as 4-way Dpads, it looks like. A wider, and a bit longer, than a NIT. If they were 5-way Dpads, and the screen slid up and tilted, though, that would be almost the perfect tablet layout, IMO. (well, that, and had full phone capabilities)
