Okay not even comparable. The Ocean only gets you on the Mobile Web. I don't know but does Slate even have a mobile web page? And what about music. It doesn't use ITunes which for those of us that love our IPod and ITunes is what we also care about. And what about a touch screen. Also not on the Helio. And to switch from typing to a phone call it's looks a little more clumsy that what is being touted about the IPhone. Now it may turn out your right but that Mobile Web issue and the use of ITunes is worth at least another $100 if not more. The touch screen is worth another $100.

And what about service? Helio is only leasing from Sprint What happens if they fold or get squezeed out of capacity. ATT aint' going anywhere so there's another reason to w/ the IPhone.

From your friendly developer: Slate does indeed have a mobile site! mobile.slate.com, for the next time you're on the road.

I wish there was a link to it from mobile.msn. Old habits die hard and so I find myself going to msn first even on my treo and looking for the link.
