Why don't we substitute iPod with it? But I'm concerned about the monthly contract for Internet access. Isn't it FREE? Is it just WIFI?

And I would want this instead of an iPad with a larger screen and even more capabilities because? It might be cheaper but it doesn't go into details about its spec. (memory size etc.)

Thanks for the link, Jaegger. 2 GB flash memory. Not a lot at all. I think I will pass.
