I have seen the product, and in terms of performance -- both speed,
and quality of OCR, it is underwhelming. It is big, heavy, slow and
expensive. For all intents and purposes it is an Intel based netbook
with a different case and camera. Intel could have sold it for less
than $1499. They are acting like the saviours of disabled persons
and they haven't offered anything new.
