By total chance I came across this thing today. I had never heard of it before, and it had not been mentioned on ITT yet, so I guess it's worth pointing out as a curio...

So yes, it's, like, three years old and discontinued. Yes, it was never sold (officially) outside Asia. Yes, it "ran" Windows CE.Net (yuk). And yes, it was more like 1300$ than 300$... :-)

But look at the form factor, the size, the general layout (even the buttons!), the screen and resolution... the builtin Wifi (no BT though)... isn't this strange ? That baby was ahead of its time...

...AND IT HAD AN OPTIONAL ULTRATHIN KEYBOARD AS A SCREEN COVER INSTEAD OF A STUPID COSMIC RAY SHIELDING -- NOKIA, COULDN'T YOU HAVE COPIED THAT TOO ?????????????

There, I said it :-)
