RedFly Mobile Companion Reviewed

Remember Palm’s Foleo? This is a similar device called RedFly Mobile Companion. The device allows users to control Windows Mobile 5 or 6 devices remotely from the device. It features a 8-inch 800 x 480 LCD screen, 2 USB ports and Bluetooth connectivity.
“The device is currently certified to work with AT&T Tilt, Sprint 700w/wx, Sprint HTC Mogul, Verizon 700w/wx, Verizon SCH-i760, and Verizon XV6800 devices.”
ZDNet has done a review on it:
The applications appeared much better on the REDFLY than I thought they would before I had a chance to try the device and there were only a couple that had issues. This is an early beta model and the software is still being worked on and optimized. Web browsing was actually enjoyable on this display and text entry is going to ROCK! Using applications like the SoftMaker Office suite with this large display and keyboard could be killer for the business user. I really like the idea of the Alt-Tab functionality, but experienced major delays a couple of times (this may have had to do with my screenshot program though too).
