As a consumer, I actually don't want to know whether it's a phone or wifi connection. I just want to be able to make calls, do email, browse the Internet, etc all from the same device (preferably a 7" or smaller form factor). The simpler and easier it becomes, the better.

Its made by Dell, is currently running Android 2.2 although I could get 2.3. Its called the Streak and its also a phone. Back in the Windows Mobile Five days, HTC had one of those with a five inch screen and built in phone called the Advantage. The five inch tablet market is nothing new in any way and it has always generated interest...its just that the prices had to drop out of the stratosphere before many people would buy. |

I see ZERO general consumer demand for a 5 inch screen to do tablet activities like reading and web surfing. Just buy a galaxy note |

Apple sells a lot of Ipod Touch still. 45 million + Ipods sold in 2011. I don't know how many Ipod Touch were sold but it got to be sizable chunk of that 45 millions. |

To each his own, I see things differently. I rather pay a little more to get exactly what I want. And rather than just buy anything if nothing fits my wants I will just sit and wait. A bargain is no bargain if I didn't want the stupid thing in the first place. The real bargain is to get exactly what I want at the best price.

And the problem with waiting for high spec'd 5" media players is that they'll never materialize. |
