Just got a Fin in the mail today (thanks, Helio!). It is one thin, sleek machine. I'm already having a bit of an identity crisis -- not sure if I'm a QWERTY powerhouse Ocean type or a wafer-thin magnesium-encased Fin type. Fortunately with Helio's account system, if you are lucky enough to have two devices, you can switch back and forth as you please with an online switching interface.
For scale, at 11.43 mm the Fin is thin enough to act as an underline on the spine of a book like this:
Here's another size comparison, some Fin unboxings a previously recorded Ocean/Fin Live Grope, and a Quick Look video.
As an aside, I also just got photo geotagging to work (to Flickr, via Helio UP on Fin/Ocean), which means my photos will now automatically be added to Flickr's world map interface. I'll write a separate entry on that.
Comments
Of course, a book about Win XP annoyances could be huge, so it's good that you included links to other comparisons.

You just reminded me of a find from a while ago -- sizeasy.com.
