FlipStart says "Get ready to Flip"

Since I once referred to the FlipStart as the iPhone of the handtop world and in light of all the recent launch coverage, it seems appropriate to mention that the iPhone wasn't the only gadget to make its way into my hands on Friday.

Hours before I even hopped into the fast-moving line outside the Apple Store, FedEx dropped by to deliver a nicely packaged review unit of the 5.9" x 4.5" x 1.6" clamshell running Windows XP Professional and equipped with 3G connectivity thanks to the Sprint Mobile Broadband EV-DO Rev A network. I'll be testing the little PC for the next few weeks as I work on my full review, so feel free to drop me a note in the comments or via email if there's a particular aspect or feature of the FlipStart you'd like to see covered.
