I had the Archos 5 tablet and IMO i wasn’t thhat big.It fit in my pocket..It was very bulky cause of the 250gb HD. But this is the perfect phone..

Depends on what you want to do with it. I think 5 inches is about the limit of what I can comfortably use as a phone and carry about in a belt case. I do a fair bit of browsing and info lookup on my Magic (3.2″ screen) and a lot of ebook reading. This has a significantly larger screen.

The first thing I thought of when I saw the iPad was “way to big to carry around”. Great for the couch, okay to stuff in a gadget bag but so is my netbook.

I see the Mini 5 as a great converged device that I can actually carry around easily and have always on, always connected access. I will still do an serious content creation on a netbook or laptop with a real keyboard but I do a lot more content consumption that creation….

If it is the same price as the base iPad (ie 400-500) I will buy one in a heartbeat. I see it as a supersized smaprtphone…

Why would anyone want this when it is not a phone and is far too small for serious web-surfing. Just try to type 100-word messages on that 5″ screen. If this is going to be the same price as the iPad, I say FAIL.

This tablet I will be getting, not too small and not too big.
I like it cause its small enough to carry around with you everywhere, yet with a 5″ screen big enough to make simple computing easy.
To be honest I doubt this device will be $1,000. With the ipad being almost 5″ bigger at $800, I think something is being missinformed. This defice I have a feeling will be no more than $500.

Bigger than a smartphone , smaller than a tablet , what shall we call it ? Mini Tablet ?

Anyway , I think it looks cool, if it can pump out hd video then I might be interested in it as a PMP & phone.

Looks like a pretty interesting device! I’d hardly call this a tablet though.

What ever happened to the Dell Mini 3 phone? Is it not going to make it to North America?

I like the Mini 5 but since it’s more than likely headed to AT&T it’s a no go for me.
