God, the opportunities this could open up!
I like what you said. You're right. It's good for artists on the go. Simple sketches would be great for quick commissions and then an on-the-go payment would be quite nice.

@nikolaj, the screen you see in the photos is the PC. The keyboard is an attachment and add-on ($100 add-on x-x; ) and you can attach the tablet itself to the keyboard and you basically have a netbook. Very good I say.

@jperez2009 - yeah I know, was answering above question regarding the screen/pc. Since the connectors are symmetrical, the screen can be flipped when attached to the keyboard - so you can "bring along" the keyboard, but still have the screen turned up. To use the keyboard (and watch the screen at the same time) you would have to detach the keyboard-flip-reattach.

-EDIT: The actually show it on the page - so affirmative on the keyboard feature.

Yes, they MAY be reserved for Wifi, BT and Keyboard, but we're not sure yet and I guess neither are they.

I think for the keyboard, they mean in case you get a USB keyboard, but I can't be sure since I don't know how this device works yet. As for the WiFi and BT being on USB...I guess they couldn't do internal hardware for that? I dunno.

I ordered one. I was going with the Smartq7, but I stampeded this way. I never cared about "pocketable".

At least at this size, I doubt if people will be asking if it's a phone...

could be that the keyboard needs the dongle? - meaning that the connectors on the keyboard are for power only...

That "only" leaves one internal usb - where I would prefer to put a 3G dongle - so for GPS, I would have to go external, or fx. take out the bluetooth dongle.

Im really hoping we wont have to have all those slots taken up...I for example was going to want to be using 3 of them...one for a 64gb+ usb drive, another for gps, and the other for 3G.
