That's what makes it so interesting. My question: Does anyone know if this can run vista? I have yet to find any mention of it anywhere, yet it seems to have a good enough video card... Thanks.

If you're looking for long battery life, may I suggest the Everun? That's the one I was going to buy until the WiBrain came out. It has enough specs above the Everun and a price below it to make it worth it for me to loose the extra battery life. regards, Jamie The battery life of this one is as follows:

Manufacturer spec – 5 hours
Dynamism “real world” – 3 hours

Therefore it isn’t gonna win any awards on battery life’ but it’s better than some.

Next I have a possible reasoning for the design. When I first viewed pictures of the Wibrain it reminded me of a game-pad controller with a screen in the middle--kinda like the Gameboy micro. Add to that the first video I saw of the thing was it being used to play Quake, and I'd say it was probably designed by and for gamers. Lastly, I have a question. The accessory list states that there is a USB Gender adapter; but I haven't seen anything to demonstrate the function of it. As we all know, there are a number of specific applications where such could be useful. Could it be used to connect to another computer for faster transfer of large files? thanks, Jamie First I want to say thanks for sharing the unboxing experience.

Its battery, even with WiFi running and reasonable use goes a good 5 hours so far. I'm really impressed. I'll admit I may have to get one of these too. :) I was considering waiting for this to come out but decided to get a Fujitsu LifeBook U810 this weekend instead.
