Internet appliances have yet to find great success, largely since the compromises inherent in the earlier devices were too great. The Greenbell BluePAD ($1,350 list), however, is a versatile multipurpose Internet appliance that combines Internet connectivity, wireless networking for mobility, and a TV tuner in one attractive-albeit expensive-device. Capable of running in mobile mode via batteries or docked in its standard docking station, the BluePAD is functional but not impressive for the same reasons that earlier Internet appliances and convergent devices failed to excite buyers: It's too expensive for what it does.
