Usability

It seems like the keyboard would be a hassle to type on. However, i think that for something with the specs, watching videos with mplayer would be cool and potentially real time, and as a pda/calendar app would be very good

Yes.

I wasn't able to dig up the processor specs, etc -- but I agree the keyboard isn't fun. Regarding typing functionality, it's somewhere between a cellphone and an EeePC. :)

I really do hope they open it wide up for 3rd party stuff, it's a pretty neat form factor, and it's built pretty solid. The screen is very bright and clear too.
