I think Nokia came up with a WiFi communicator as well, I just don't remember the name or model but I think it belonged to the N series minus phone capabilities. </p> $300 seems a little pricy for me expecially when you consider that you can get certain smartphones that have WiFi capacity and the capability to make phone calls and connect to the net through superfast telecom networks (e.g. 3G) when no WiFi networks are present.

Given that this is a basic WiFi device, I don't see any reason why intrepid Canadians couldn't pick one up on a cross-border trip and start using it at home.

I suspect the showstopper for Sony is the Wayport Wireless deal. Here in Canada, their penetration centres mostly around hotels – hardly the demographic that Sony's seeking for this device.

I'd give my eye teeth for a WiFi-enabled multitasking messenger machine (which is essentially what this is) that would extend the home office/wireless cloud worker's productivity. Sony's on to something here, if only it chooses to look beyond the teen demographic.

Just thinkin'…
