Hi,

I've seen it at CeBit 2003 at the location of Geort Heeg and CinCom. 
It's nice, seems to work well but was slow. But according to Mr. Toennes 
who showed me, there will be a lot optimization before official launch. 
It should possible to develop applications an PC and then uploading it 
to the handheld.
BTW, on the poster on the booth they had written with big letters "Alan 
Kay's Dynabook" ....... :-)

Greetings

Hans
