As nice and cool as the interface is, my suggestion is
to stay as far away from these devices as you can.
While a cool OS, the implementation and the hardware
was hopelessly flawed and lead to many prominent
people disowning the device and damning it.
A good article on this can be read at:
http://www.fadell.com/At_Work/Articles/OEM/O.E.M._Text/o.e.m._text.html
I suggest you read it fully and perhaps you'll
understand why this is not a device to be recommended
to anybody...
