    Looking Glass has to be pretty high up there on The Worst Device Names EVAH List.

    That is a very dumb name - just like the "iPad" hopefully they change it after doing some marketing on it.

    Sounds like they were watching Lost and some idiot thought 'hey that'd be a great name!'

    Terrible name aside is there really such a market for this niche?

    Let me guess, it has a glossy screen right? Like super-ultra-high-mirror-gloss or something?

    Wow, everybody is suddenly coming out with tablets. Gee I wonder why. :rolleyes: :p Well if it doesn't have a true x86 processor and not run a full operating system, I'm out. I guess HP's slate is the only real choice ATM.

    I DO hope none of its applications are called "Cheshire" and "Off with their heads".

    Tegra 2 should be great on this with the Dual core Arm.
    Multi task and flash :)
    I have a feeling it's gonna cost just about as much as the low speced iPad.
    Screen res is going to be limiting.
