Looks like a competitor to the Nokia N810

Well I'm interested at least. I've been considering getting a Nokia N810 for a while now, but never really gotten around to it. There have simply been too many small niggles about it for me. This looks like a really interesting alternative. With 4 gigs of solid state storage, a faster processor, plus a sim card slot of 3G wireless this seems like it could be what I'm looking for. The huge remaining questions are will they be able to make usable apps and OS and what will the battery life be like.
