that is pretty neat, it might be a little awkward to hold, but i bet they would make handle adapter sort of things like they have for the zodiac. Plus Im sure someone would make emulators for it. But by the looks of how big the screen is it may be expensive

It looks pretty neat indeed. But I would think that the slide-up system isn't the best choice they could have made. I currently have a working period for my education (ICT) at a company that produces carkits and cradles for smartphones and pda's and what I expect is that the slidesystem would be similar to that of the I-Mate K-Jam and likes.
From what I know of those is that they break real quickly. Now must I add that the people at the company don't really handle these things with care, but even when handled roughly they should at least hold 2 weeks.
