Yep... although this is the first one that appears to be practical in terms of weight, size, screen quality, speed, battery life, application availability and price. Most of the previous tries had problems like they were very heavy, the battery lasted less than 3 hours, the screens we very low res.. etc.
So, yes, it is nothing new... unless you consider it solves most of the complaints of earlier devices. Of course, the iPad has its issues also.
