Ugh, that is ugly. Makes the eee look nice. And, isn't 300 MHz a little bit underpowered? I mean, I'm quite happy with my 365 MHz decTOP, but I use it as a (semi-)silent server; as a desktop machine it feels certainly sluggish.

Not for console apps. The battery life might be a bit short, but if it has fbdev support, a PC
I can fit in my pocket and use links, jed and dosemu on is exactly what I want.

Hmm. I wonder if gbax.com can source them...? (Unless they're too busy with the Pandora, of
course... now there's another oh-so-tempting gadget.)
