Looking for an equivalent product? (Score 1)

You guys keep saying "that'd be nice to put linux on it when it comes out" but there are already several products that are touchscreen laptops. Most with attached keyboards, one or two without. Here are two of them:

• Fujitsu Biblio MC8 - touchscreen laptop (2.6 lbs, P200-233)
• Panasonic CF01 - touchscreen notepad, external keyboard (2.2 lbs, Am586-133)

There are more, but these are the ones I could find easily.

Additionally, wireless networking is starting to be cheaply available (albeit a short range of ~150 feet indoors) - Diamond HomeFree costs only about $100-$150 a node. CHEAP compared to previously available wireless network cards! NOTE: Proxim is offering a product (Symphony) hat has identical specs. I'm not sure whose product is whose here. I suspect that proxim is the mfg, and diamond is OEM'ing it.
