[GLLUG] New Type of PC/Handheld/laptop

[Brian Hoort]

A company has announced a new style of computer that blends full PCs, 
laptops, and palm computers. I have been wanting something like this for a 
few years now. It's good to see someone actually putting one into 
production, they say by the end of this year. In short, it's basically a 
Palm computer that is powerful enough to be your full-time PC. It can dock 
to a full-size keyboard/monitor/mouse, or plug into a laptop base, or just 
be used in your hand like a palm. It will ship with Windows XP, though I 
read an interview over at linuxdevices.com that stated that it's just a x86 
PC and they expect the Linux community will have it running Linux in short 
order.
