Well, I just got home and grabbed it.

I gotta say - MUCH better than I expected. The device is nice and sleek, I don't have Sony envy anymore. The interface is MUCH better.

Text to speech is.. well, what you'd expect. Wish I had it earlier this week when I was blind for a few days.

The web browser seems MUCH more sophisticated and is working better.

Love the new button-thing. Much more handy than the scroll wheel.

Not sure about the new buttons yet. I never had the "accidentally hit button" thing so I'm finding these are slowing me down a bit. But not much.

So far... after about 10 minutes.. LOVING it.

If you have an questions let me know and I'll try to answer.
