I, for one, am not impressed. Handwriting recognition accuracy at 60% if you
have an average handwriting? Close to 4 pounds? It is more a laptop than a
PDA, methinks. Still far from the convenience of a 2100 at more than twice
the price that the 2100 was selling. Who would want to use something like
that? Yes, I know this one, no matter what MicroShaft introduces, there will
always be legions of drones that will line up to get their hands on it...
What a pity...
