Anyone else played with this unit?

I saw one today at Fry's - and found that the keyboard is at least as good as the Ideapad S10-3, with the added bonus of a genuine Trackpoint. For a moment, I thought we might have a Thinkpad contender.

Until I tried to re-dock the display in the portrait position, much like one can on the TC1000/1100. Voila! No connector, no post-holes on the short end!

These morons spent millions to develop a tablet that can't be used vertically.
