Shows it's flash player - anyone know if this is an official Arm build of flash, or just one of the open source equivalents.

Either way, it looks like it works, so I assume we should be able to "borrow" it for the Pandora ;)

the red version looks really swish!
1024x600 in a 5" screen is a fantastic decision. there is rather a large border either side, would have been nice if theyd gone for 1280x600 and chosen a wider screen but perhaps the speakers or something are mounted there. also the "tube" hinge looks rather out of proportion to the rest of it but i can look past that :D

want one!

Seems to be an offical build, there is an info sheet about Adobe Flash Lite included in the box. 3rd shot

I'm rather impressed with that! Love the instant restart from suspend, and the optical trackball thingy looks very good.

Slightly surprised by the wibbly-wobbly key mechanisms though - I'd expect some much more Psion-like from a Japanese company.

He does very good reviews. I would suggest him as a choice for the Pandora as well.
