I think people have always been interested in the UMPC, unfortunately it was mishandled badly from inception. Weren't they supposed to be full computing experiences for around $400-$600 and ultra portable? Sounds like the Netbooks stole the thunder from UMPCs and rightly so. Maybe this is a lesson that took a company like Viliv to figure out. They priced it right (still a little high) but within reason unlike Samsung with their ridiculous prices for what they offered. I hope Viliv reaps the rewards for producing great quality UMPCs at a almost netbook prices. Should be interesting going forward.... Now I can't wait until I get my hands on that X70! :))) Hi JK, continued good health to you! :)

I swear, anytime she's around there's a murder. If I'm *anywhere* and she shows up, I'm outta there!

I've even occasionally (well, actually, a few times per week) tethered my tablet and Fuze when out and about. I've had no problems, I'm guessing, because the amount of data that I use on each one is the about the same as the others. My most use in one month has been about 3.5GB of traffic. I, personally, think that the carriers' arbitrary distinction between "PDA" and "non-PDA" is pretty bogus. When I pressed an AT&T rep about the distinction, he explained that the PDAs can generate more traffic than the non-PDAs. I didn't tell him that I disagree since the amount of data I can pull down using my Vu could be the same or even more than the others (for example, when streaming music or video from YouTube to the Vu). I vote to live a little dangerously! Vroom Vroom! I’ve used my LG Vu SIM with its $15/month account freely in my Advantage and my Fuze.

That's my big fear, especially given I am simply evaluating hardware and not using it for work.

You have all the credit for building this "extended family" you refer to :-) I have used my iPhone SIM card on other phones and laptops and it works. The way I see it (correct me if I am wrong) is that as long as you use your plan on one device (the SIM card takes care of that), then you are not violating any agreements with the service provider. Kind of having installed a particular software on only one computer. Take care and have a great weekend... Hi James:
