 Great Product but check website May 28, 2010

The litl people have a great idea, and all the reviews show it is well worth the price of $399 that the litl company sells it for.
It has a great screen, making it much better than netbooks for using in the kitchen for recipes etc or as a photoframe, or just sharing things on the web.
I am getting one for my mother, as she is afraid of ordinary computers.

Litl Webbook |Internet Computer for the Home
I just received my Litl from Amazon and set it up.
As both my husband and I are visually impaired and he is a computer phobic, this is great.
It allows me to show him pictures in a size and resolution he can see. He will now be able to watch videos sent to us via email and laugh at some of the stuff shared with us by friends.
It is light enough for him to hod the screen within 4 inches of his face long enough to enjoy.
The Litl is not only for communicating with the computer phobic but for those with limitations. Senior Citizens with no computer experience would profit from this.
The fact that the crew in Boston opened the source so other programs will become available makes me feel like we are about to take a great and wonderful journey.
 Nifty litl(!) machine April 8, 2010

The Litl is a webbook, and so it's different from a normal computer, and takes a little getting used to. There's no hard drive, no software on it, but there's none to install either, which makes it really easy to use. And the introduction to the unit is so friendly and so clear, that you'll be up and running in no time. The way it organizes webpages is really simple and intuitive, and it's great to be able to find the places you go frequently so easily (though they do stack up pretty fast.)
This is one of its three main strengths - it's really easy to navigate around the internet. The second is the way it handles photos - you load them onto one of the several photo storage sites like Flickr - and you can display them by flipping the Litl over to become an easel - it looks great and cycles through them like a web picture frame. The easel view can also be used for other things, like some recipe sites, weather sites. There's not a ton of uses yet, but they're adding them every day.
The third thing it does very well is showing things on your tv. It's got an HDMI port, and you just plug it in and can watch Hulu or something else on your tv (if it's got HDMI). It works beautifully. We missed a couple of episodes of Caprica recently, and were able to watch them in high quality with no lag whatsoever.
There are a couple of minor inconveniences with the Litl. Obviously, you can't run software, so if you're doing word processing, you need to use something like Google Docs. But that's the way the world is headed anyway, so it's not the worst thing in the world. It's a trifle inconvenient that it doesn't let you see the wireless strength, so you sometimes don't know that you are losing the signal. Also, you can't see the battery level. I've also found that it's sometimes hard to wake up after it's been sleeping.
But these are quibbles. The Litl is a nifty little machine, that is great for web-based computing.
