 * Keep It reads neutral enough to me, and this is a Sony tablet, so there's plenty of coverage already Wired (magazine),  FOXNews,  EETimes,  Haaretz,  Network World, etc., even though this will be shipping in April. Pcap  ping  07:29, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep I don't really see how this can be construed as an advert - it doesn't contain prices, nor a link to purchase, nor does it contain any language urging the reader to go and buy. I suppose it could be construed as a very poorly written press release.  However the product is very new so the only information that exists is based on what the company has released.  I suppose that other people will add more content as they get more experience with the device. Also, I'm not really sure whether this criteria alone is sufficient for AfD or whether a more appropriate tag should be used (I think there is a "this looks like a press release" template somewhere but I can't find it).  I'm sure one of the wikipedia lawyers out there can comment on whether this criteria is sufficient for AfD.I created the article because i think it is notable - clearly Sony is notable, but the technology is based on the Chumby which is an open source hardware and this product is (to my knowledge) the first to be derived on the platform.I propose to keep and see how the content evolves over the next few months.

 * Keep. As Pcap points out, there's already substantial coverage of the device in independent reliable sources (at least some of which should definitely be added to the article itself), as required by WP:GNG. I don't really see any significant neutrality or verifiability problems; certainly nothing that can't be easily fixed. Hqb (talk) 18:50, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
