The kicker for me is video.  I thought this would be just the thing to
send to my sister in Georgia, because all she really needs is email and
web access (and maybe basic word processing).  You wouldn't initially
think video performance would really matter there, but then I think of
all the times people email links to videos and whatnot, and it would be
really irritating to not be able to see what the person's linking to.

One of the end-user reviews I found on the web said that the PIC is
really too slow for video, managing only single-digit frames per second.

The USB 1.1 is also a bit of a downer, but not as much of a deal-breaker
for me.
