well, for me, all i'd want or need out of it is:
-wi-fi connectivity
-x server
-and ssh

see where i'm getting at?
it'd be nice to just have a machine to use as a "mobile dumb terminal" essentially

It won't be the first time, but I fail to get this device (for us),

Something with a hair more utility might be the (?) Asus eePC.  I've
been hearing a bit about it.  But even this lacks a lot of functionality.

Hell, I'd be happy if they managed to make my Treo go faster (as opposed
to prettier, smaller, or without an external antenna).

It's only a matter of time til we get something in the XO format with
some cojones.  The SS drives are getting larger too.


Hang on and enjoy the ride.

Bill Gates is to hacking as Sid Vicious was to the Sex Pistols: no talent, everyone hates him, and he's just in it for the fame and money.
