It's going to fail in the video games market, with the way it controls. However, I can see it being popular as an alternative to a laptop or palm pilot.

Here's a device by Nokia that looks very similar, their "Internet Tablet".. and it's running Linux:<a class="user" href="http://www.nokiausa.com/770">http://www.nokiausa.com/770</a>

Knowing Microsoft, this thing will be as big, or even bigger than an Apple Newton, and cost more then the xbox 360. And who could forget the same features as vista.

Think that i'd prefer a GP2X, once they get the bugs sorted out of course ;)

From the screenshots it looks like a very portable tablet pc. Which means the OS is Windows XP and you'll most likely install and run anything a standard pc can. (firefox, msn messenger, etc.)
