US$600 with a 2 year contract for the 8GB version... I don't want to
imagine how much that thing is going to cost SIM free. And no mention of
third party application support, it might no even be a smartphone. The UI
looks fantastic though and the idea of using a finger-driven large
touchscreen instead of those cumbersome stylus or keypad is something that
i wanted to see in my phone for a very long time. I wonder how the screen
will look like after a few minutes of use though.

All that said, i guess that the happiest people on earth at the moment must
be muggers. Busy year ahead for them.
