| This thing is SO hot.  I would buy one for close to twice the price.

One thing I  haven't  seen  or  read  about:  Laptop  graphics,  like
desktop, usually require a mouse or some equivalent point/click input
mechanism. There isn't any such thing visible in these pictures. What
looks  like  a  trackpad  is shown as a handwritten input device, but
maybe it could function as  a  trackpad.   I  suppose  some  keyboard
buttons  could  be  mapped to the "mouse" buttons.  Anyone know about
this?

Actual specs on this gadget don't seem to be visible anywhere. Google
find a lots of press-release sort of pages, but no specs. Anyone know
where to find actual information?
