    Calm down, mnementh. You've got to cut down on the firestone. (Somebody get him a patch...)

    A guess at some of the included features would be an option of 2 batteries,
    wide area wireless (EDVO/HSPDA), wireless lan, bluetooth, digitizer, 4 user defined application buttons. I use the markings on a CF-19 to decifer the possible meanings of the markings on the U1. Not sure it if will be touch screen optional or dual touch/digitizer like many others in the slate pc market. I just think it will blow away the competition like all toughbooks do.

    The stylus they show on there is for a regular touchscreen - it doesn't have the circuit built in that a digitizer needs. That also shows just how small the whole thing is. Man it's tiny. It kind of looks like a mini tablet with the screen flipped over. You can see the 2 battery slots on the side. You can also see what looks like a cover to flip over the screen or lock the screen down if it's tablet style though it may be a dock instead. The handle looks kind of funky too, going at an angle like that. That keyboard layout is kind of strange but I like it.
