<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> A 5" 800x600 screen, 900 MHz CPU, HD and lots'o'RAM. A lot smaller than</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>In hot pursuit of portable squeakage, i also salivated over this one. But</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>I'd rather get a Sharp SL-6000 (extraordinary 640x480 screen,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>keyboard, usb, Linux) at $660 for portable squeakage and linuxing, with</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>enough left over for say, a sony u101 plus $600 worth of other toys or </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>mobile internet.</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>But this is a momentous step; hopefully before long there will be a raft</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>of these (real pcs in this form factor) from other makers.</FONT>
