/me wants one of them too. Showed the pic of the mini laptop thingy to my mom. she's like "pretty cool." must suck to install programs on it though. i mean... u pay what, a suggested minimum price of 3 grand, and then you'd need an external CD/DVD drive?

Neat little toy, although I'd still take a TabletPC or a regular notebook over it.
I remember seeing a video demo of this sometime ago. Tiny thing.

 

[Tittles]

Anybody know what processor it is?

 

[Dublex]

hmm, not bad - I would prefer a laptop any day though to a palm.

I'm hazarding a guess here, but it might probably be one of Via's low-power consumption processors. Or, it could be Transmeta.

Still, looks very nice. The screen placement does make it look like a GBA SP though, but i'm not complaining

this is not a computer you use as a desktop replacement.

my laptop is a desktop replacement, this little beuty would be an add on so I don't have to unpack my laptop except when neccessary

 

[Mainframeguy]

Well I suppose that COULD be my Christmas list sorted.... except it might be a bit of a toy,.... and I like my 'pooters to be more than toys I guess, since I work with them too it seems just somehow "wrong"?

It's a 1GHz Transmeta Crusoe.

 

[Tittles]

Thanks Net, just wanted to know since all they have is 1ghz.

 

[ShepsCrook]

Some nice little gadgets to blow money on.... always a bonus.

There is this bad boy, too, which I've been watching the development of for a while

OQO

Bit of a bump, but, they're taking orders for the OQO now

 

[Tabula Rasa]

The battery life is only 2-3 hours (meaning 2.5 if your a slow typer )
Other then that it looks cool, usless but cool
