Looking forward to your review on this one Fletch. Any ETA?
Wow....if I had one of these and my wife had one of these...she could "see" where I'm at? Not sure I like that!!
Great, I know the price is $499.99. How much will it cost when it hits the market, how lower can the price go? Can't really wait for it. Lots of great features. Have 885t since last month, but will return and wait for this 1690t. When is it officially available?
