Hmm, I'm liking the mini BeBook more and more. If only the device's potential list price for the United States would stay at $200 rather than $270 (after Euro-to-USD conversion). At $200 USD, I'd grab it over the Kindle, but at $270, it's not too far from a Kindle.

Additionally, did anyone else notice that the Mini looked like it had a touchscreen?

Also they showed the SIM card slot on the Mini, does that mean the Mini would also have 3G capability? What about WiFi.

On a side note, I really wish I could understand Dutch. Perhaps I should get my Dutch friend to translate the video for me.
