This is neat. They call it a Pocket PC in some places and in other places Pocket Sized PC...but I believe they use this terminology adjectively rather than as a proper name.<br><br><br>

I think it looks pretty dumb acually. How would you carry a video display with you?

This "thing" has no real innovations... and as far as i can see the usb ports cannot be used with a cdrom drive plugged into the side of the unit which is kinda dumb as well. I didn't see any price but i think it must be far beyond the pricelevels of comparable laptops.<br><br>and robert's right about the display thinng... but it would be smart for any LANparties - if there was a rj/45 port. <br>Oh and the 4MBs of graphic memory really make this thing wothless. 4mb are not even enough for 1024x768@32bit.

No display. It plugs into a TV or monitor. The price is around 8-900 dollars.
