    The form factor is cool, but I don't really want a Vista machine of any size.

    Someone will figure out the drivers and there'll be a distro for it in no time, if there isn't already. My only problem with all such devices is that while my typing skills have improved, my fingers are no longer the size they were when I was 3 years old.

    And there's no reason why you couldn't hack freebsd and macosx onto it these days.

    true. I should comb ebay and see if I can get my hands on an older model and crack it. actually, what I should do is talk to the partner at my firm who is an investor and see if he can hook me up.

    well ... they're badass except for windows? they'd be the awesomest thing evar except that they're windows based? how does one say "omfg I really want a palmtop computer that isn't windows based and I would pay apple $1500 for one tomorrow if they'd just hurry up and get with the m'fuckin' game plan" without actually saying it?
