Ugh...what's with the massive screws in the back? Makes the unit very utilitarian like a tank.

HD on a 3.3" screen? Wait, it says downscaled, not HD resolution.
Probably not the same PQ and definitely not the same AQ, but I'm content watching SD movies on my $47 3.5" Curtis GPS, when I'm stuck somewhere.
HD Zune with wifi? hmmm.

Looks like the tri-wing screws that Nintendo uses on their hardware. :lol:
Anyway, can't wait for this thing to hit the shelves! Very interesting in picking one up.

uh....I'm pretty sure the description means it pushes out 720p onto your TV or monitor, like a portable HD player. Not watch it on the 3.3 screen...

Looks interesting, but with phones becoming multimedia devices as well (ie: Iphone vs Ipod Touch) products like this are seemingly falling short. The HD portion is interesting, but some phones are slowly slipping into that.

I really hope they make this open to developers like Apple has. If this is priced the same as the Touch (Which I assume it will) they will need it to stay even.
