After A month

After using the CR48 for over a month now, my initial observations haven't changed much.
Battery Life is great (7-8) continuous use, probably a week on standby)
Flash still crashes out the browser sometimes (optimistic that this will be ironed out)
I can conduct most everyday communication and work in the cloud. Specialized software for me is only required for music or video work.

The Press is also pretty active on it, but rehashing many of the same points.
