Yeah...I remember first hearing about this piece of
Vaporware back in 1999 I think. Back then, it didn't
have a built in keyboard and it was going to have a
writable screen.
As to the proposed price? I can't remember where I
heard it, but I do remember reading/hearing that with
everything (docking station, port replicator, extra
batteries, etc.) the whole thing would cost around
$3,000....not what I would call an afordable gadget...
