I did read the CNN review and while I agree that "trashed" and "basically hated it" do characterize the review, it did net out to an unfavorable.

Without a hands-on experience, I'd guess the WSJ was probably the closest - a good in-between machine with a few flaws. And one of the flaws being that an in-between machine isn't really great at either.

I think I'd rather have two very good machine (my ultra-portable PC and my iPad) than one device that saves space/weight but isn't really good at either.

(then again, I use a full DLSR, not a P&S, have separate transport/processor/pre-amp/amplifier vs. CD Player/Receiver, etc.)
