I think Ocosmos would have been better off with using the low end Amd fusion rather than Atom.

wow, you should really hit the Enter button more often.
Anyways, this thing looks a little larger than the original PSP but slightly smaller than a 7". So as far as portability goes, this is not pocket friendly (not portable) but it will quite easily fit into handbags/coat pockets (portable) - so it's in the lukewarm spot imho.
I think if MeeGo fixes the GPU support/driver issues that Intel's (and most other distros) being plagued with, then this baby should fly!
All it needs is MeeGo to develop a new framework for open gpu driver support (actually to promote and influence this), gets a good/finger friendly user interface and fixes whatever bugs (ie touchscreen response etc etc) ... this should blow the water off the Samsung Galaxy Tab.

Like you, I was initially trilled by the Lenovo S10-3T (which as I was saying has a more performing CPU, GPU, and a bigger batter pack) and I've been trying to do many thiings with it. However, I've been severily deceived by the Atom. It feels more like the N900 than a x86 laptop.
I seriously doubt you will be able to play Civ4 on it. Not to mention that I doubt you will be able to get a 10h figure playing on it as you really cannot on the Lenovo which has an order of magnitude better battery.
The form factor is not bad and I'm sure it will have its uses, but it is far from a PC-like gaming machine as the ad seemingly says.
Would that be more enticing than Oak Trail + Win7?
