I don't know what to say. I mean, the idea is excellent, this is exactly the kind of device I would like to have. But.
-> I do not want it to run XP. This alone is the perfect showstopper.
-> I doubt that pen operation will be satisfying, seing that this is not even a Tablet OS, but just desktop XP. Showstopper.
-> AFAIU the pen is proprietary.
-> I did not find any information regarding battery life.
This could have been something, really, but I think the result is... well, just a small tablet sans a pen orientated interface.
