Might someone explain to me why this device was ever considered interesting? In just what way is it unique?

  Because there's nothing like it out there? It's not a cheap netbook with a small screen and a small keyboard, and it's not an expensive tablet PC with PC laptop innards - it's a cheap netbook innards/tablet PC form factor/touch screen browsing device. Because despite the price they were aiming at sounding too good to be true, everyone went "oh that sounds too good to be true ... but they say it so it must be true! I'll buy two!".

    I've posted it before & I'll post it again: http://wholesale.alibaba.com/product-gs/268088826-touch-screen-umpc-wholesalers.html http://wholesale.alibaba.com/product-gs/268088826-touch-scre... http://wholesale.alibaba.com/product-gs/268087366-10-2-inch-touch-screen-panel-pc-wholesalers.html http://wholesale.alibaba.com/product-gs/268087366-10-2-inch-... 10" touch screen, Atom Processor, standard netbook specs in a touchscreen tablet, prices from $288 in bulk. (I suspect it isn't a capacitative touchscreen but it's still inaccurate to say there is nothing like it out there)
