Okay, it's small, but it's really inexpensive - a little more RAM and some
magical way to run Morphic on a 16MHz monochrome box, and this could be the
Volkswagon of DynaBooks ... (now pulling on my asbestos underwear)

The PowerPlay III PDA is manufactured in Taiwan and sold online by Empower
Technologies, a vendor of Embedded Linux for intelligent appliances. The
device is claimed to be Palm IIIxe compatible, from a hardware perspective.
But unlike Palm's PDAs, the PowerPlay III runs Empower Technologies' Linux DA
O/S implementation of Embedded Linux for the Dragonball processor.
Another big difference from Palm's PDAs is price: the PowerPlay III is being
sold for $99 online, with an introductory price of just $89.
