 Anyhow, I have just received a mail to let me know that the Redfly is now available for pre-order, ready to evalute for use in your business. The mail... QUOTE You’ve seen the vision, now grasp the tool. Pre-order your REDFLYä Mobile Companion today! REDFLY extends the capabilities of your Smartphone, with no additional TCO. Dear friend - you’ve already visited the Celio website, or stopped by the Celio tradeshow booth, to see the future of the smartphone. Then, you already know about the capabilities, features, and functionality of the REDFLY.
The cost is $499 as expected, plus shipping (a not insignifcant $99 to the UK!) The small print... QUOTE REDFLY Evaluation/Demo Unit Pre-Order Site Celio Corp is pleased to offer the REDFLY Mobile Companion directly to enterprise customers for evaluation and mobile solution providers for demonstration. By submitting a pre-order to this site, you agree to be contacted by Celio to qualify the sales opportunity (quantity, smartphone device, line of business software, and timetable for implementation, etc.). This site requires a credit card. Orders will be authorized, but not charged until the product ships. Initial shipments are planned for late April, 2008. Late April? Wow, that's soon! I really fancy one myself, the 8 hours + battery life really does it for me. Anyone else gonna be putting an order in?

Is it really worth buying one of these? yet something else to lug about with you may as well just get an Athena instead and have one device?

No, no, no
I like a small device (stop sniggering at the back boy!) like a Touch, but for some things it would be nice/useful to have a bigger screen and keyboard. I'm not convinced it's worth £250 (+ £50 shipping) though. I think I'll wait til the price drops to about £150 |

QUOTE(pisquee @ Apr 16 2008, 14:30)  Yeah, for that price you could get an Asus EeePC Same weight as an EEE as well. Could have been a good idea but at that price and that weight whats the point. |

It's not intended to be a laptop - it's an extension of your PDA, like a bluetooth keyboard with a screen attached (amongst other advantages, like USB stick access)
One thing I like is that when you disconnect nothing is (supposed to be) left on the Redfly. So there's no duplication of data, no sync'ing etc. I really like the idea, but I still don't think it's worth that much to me |
