The Mini 5 is the perfect size for easy portability (it will easily fit in my jacket’s inside pocket), and with phone capability, it allows users replace a device instead of forcing them to add one. Moreover, we now have a hands-free law here in Ontario, so I've had to get a bluetooth headset, which I use all the time, even with my tiny clamshell. The Mini 5 is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for!

Who wants a larger smartphone? In my opinion these are just tech gadgets that only techie people will purchase to only use for a couple of months and then it goes in the unused gadget drawer. I understand the craze for slate like devices however i truly believe especially in U.S. consumers are not as quick to try out or adapt to new technologies or venture in the realm of unfamiliarity as they are in other countries and all the hype surrounding the slate computer design is just that, hype and nothing more. I am willing to bet that this time next year slate computers will be on CNET's list of "The Tech That Never Was" How do you think this will be a hit? Who wants a larger smartphone?

You see, most people are into brands. Let us face this as a fact. Very few people are interested with those funny name brands. People want stablility and long term support knowing that the company would be there years after they have bought their unit.

At the end of the day, it boils down to Apple, Dell, HTC, Asus, Sony, Lenovo and Acer.
