I pretty much feel the same way, the biggest disappointment for me is that it didn't have the HD touchscreen (800x480) but the rather low res screen just like my G1, for a dedicated device/MID that is terrible. If it's down to $149 or $99 it might be worth taking a look at, but for $399 for the dev kit it definitely isn't worth it.
