As a Designer. Fuck yes. Needs me some of this action.
As a Gamer - I think we can leave the crazy wishes of an MS handheld console with the Zune. This just doesn't appeal as a gaming machine - and frankly, dumbing it down for the sake of making it into one would make the Designer side of me very, very sad.
Pretty neat but if they are wanting this to be a gaming device also they better add some buttons or it is just going to be like the iphone as a "gaming device" =\ I better not have to use virtual dpads on this thinglol
No interest in this as far as games go. It doesn't feel like it'd do DS-type games, more like Cell-phone types, and given it's Microsoft I'll guess Solitair and Minesweeper. Maybe chess.
For a gadget however? I'd LOVE it. I could bring it with me everywhere, make notes and sketches on it whenever I need to.
The graphic designer in me wants to devour it whole.
@ShadowOdin of dubious snowiness: Agreed. I bet my girlfriend could do amazing things with it if there were graphic design applications for it. Also, if they're smart, they will allow for "vertical" use, laptop-style, with a full keyboard (but that's pretty much a lock).
@Desmondia: I...cannot even imagine.
I never managed to use my notebook.
But this?
This screams "Never leave home without me, bitch"
And I'd let it
Also, big YES to the keyboard-application.
And from the looks of it, it will at least have drawing-tools, which is more than enough for concept-sketches.
I would love the hell out of this depending on the sensitivity. A notebook tablet? Get me some art programs on that and I can stop abusing my Intuos4 and sketchbooks so much. I seriously can't afford the amount of art supplies I go through.
that would be very useful. Why didn't they think of having two screens before? why didn't i think of a two screen notebook, i mean it seems like a common idea no? with the DS out and all.

It'd be great for reading book style as well.
