This is a cool Linux device, and most posters are just complaining that it doesn't have feature X. It's only $359, and it has wifi; most other PDAs with wifi are in the $300 range and don't have nearly as nice a screen. And some are complaining that it isn't a cell phone - I think it would be hard to make an open source cell phone, not to mention not everyone wants a phone with an expensive service contract.

The mini-disks are used because they avoid DVD licensing issues and the constant velocity drive gives better performance (shorter loading times.)
