http://www.apad.tv/ (official site I believe)

lol I'm actually tempted, but I really need to see more review before deciding. Have not had the opportunity to see the youtube video yet (not accessible at work)

I wonder if the OS can be upgraded? Is it a multi-touch screen?

Would be awesome if they had decent IR in there...

Personally Im getting an ebook reader, but wouldnt mind to have a bare tablet thing for around the house .. even with laptops around convenient is the word.

I wont be buying one just yet, theres sure to be a CE or linux based (or able to be hacked) device soonish

haha news travel fast, yeah.

On second thoughts, I think I will wait for better chinese knockoff. Based on preliminary reviews, it's probably too slow and doesn't have multi-touch.
