It's a hybrid of a netbook and a kindle, and for that it's certainly cool. My problem with it is that it costs too much for what you get and still doesn't have the features of similar, less expensive devices. At $500-$700, it's $300+ more expensive than a netbook. It also doesn't have a camera or USB ports or multitasking, which come standard on today's netbooks. Wouldn't a camera be great for the patient data application idea you have?
