    The device doesn't appear to have bluetooth, which is a shame, and makes you wonder why it doesn't. I'm sure a lot of people would've loved to tether this to a bluetooth cellphone, or to a cheap bluetooth USB dongle on their PC which is set up as a gateway.

    Why not?

    Why no put a 3G phone in it and then people can buy it instead of being suckered into buying iPhones.

    RE: Why not?

    My question exactly. I'm constantly puzzled by the number of devices of this type which don't have 3G connectivity. I realise some people prefer to have separate phone and data devices -- but some of us don't have enough pockets for that.

    It seems like a kiddified imitation of one anyway...
