I am wondering if the Play Station Personal machine from
Sony might not some day make an interesting platform for
Squeak:

In hot pursuit of portable squeakage, i also salivated over this one. But
for the price...

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

But this is a momentous step; hopefully before long there will be a raft
of these (real pcs in this form factor) from other makers.
