has anyone seen these?
Mine arrived this morning and it's awesome.
It's a tiny notebook PC, with basic specs, but it actually fits in your pocket, kinda.
First really decent attempt at making a PDA sized PC. Love it!

Kubuntu is doing my head in. If things go wrong, I have no idea how to fix it! Had everything perfectly installed and working, then I added compiz. Now it doesnt work

Neo, where can you get one with a touchscreen? I've had a quick goosey gander and can't find anything to do with a touchscreen? I quite like the idea of one of these to carry to uni....

my mate just bought one from there and it's nice as hell, only I don't like the small screen, such a waste of available space.

bought one for my missus back about 2 months ago. had murder finding it though as everywhere round here was sold out for ages and still is
cracking piece of kit. and the fact that its running linux is not that much of a concern. and its got opensource office on it so you can use it with ms office docs

Is browising the web and doing the odd bit of word processing easily visable on the screen cos I can't be arsed squinting at the bloody thing, it'll take me ages to do anythin! Also, can I open word docs using the open office software on there? Cos i'm not sure if i'll have the chance to load XP on straight away....
Cheers!
