    Frys now has the UX. I was really looking forward to this device and even considered buying one. Forget it.

    After spending an hour with the UX my overall impression is that it is just too small. Perhaps my eyes are at fault, but I cannot imagine anyone working on this screen for more than a few minutes at a time.

    More bothersome... I felt the control of the machine - stylus, touch pad - was not in sync with my brain. I found it very diffucult to navigate.


    I can appreciate the technology involved to shrink such power but power alone does not make for a positive computing experience.

    By the way, passerbys at the store were equally split between the UX. "It's cool but the screen is too small" was the most common opinion.
