Of course Stephen's point is still valid, especially compared to the
high end Clie products. Many customers might like a portable desktop
that docks (ie can work with real keyboards/monitors), and can
move/work in a pinch,
It seems like crap to me though, compared to the Newton... Windows XP
is bad enough on a desktop from my point of view... :~)
I love when these companies talk about battery life...

PS I think the Sharp Linux based product is the most promising I have
seen going forward. Now if someone gets that Newton compatibility mode
running on there...
