I played with it a few more hours.
I was able to sign in to iGoogle, Facebook and Yahoo email, but it seemed the device had a hard time distinguishing between my pen taps and swipes. Since I can access my iGoogle page, the disconnecting wifi isn't as big a deal. With a little practice it will not seem such a hassle, and I can use this device for basic Internet access in public places such as airport terminals and coffee shops, rather drag out a bulkier netbook or laptop.
The battery has started to fade. I will put it on standby over night and see what it's like in the morning. It leaves an image on the display in standby.
The control on the face of the device is nice. There is an 'OK' button, surrounded by two rings. The inner ring is useful for navigating around the screen in lieu of the pen. The outer ring navigates inside the documents, and provides instant access to the home menu.
I'm starting to really like this thing.
