If only an updated version (USB, Bluetooth and/or Wi-fi) of one of these were available today! The form factor was PERFECT and only now is beginning to be approached again. The keyboards were great, too. You could run a Series 5 (5mx) for a whole month on AA batteries! I didn't care that it had an LCD greyscale screen. I was getting stuff done! Great suite of apps with it, too. (OS was EPOC32, the forerunner of Symbian). They may be outdated now, but look to Psion for inspiration!

That's why I'm kind of hoping the Foleo takes off. It might just be enough to get a mac fan like me to switch... to Linux. @griz: Good point. That’s why I’m kind of hoping the Foleo takes off.

Living 500 miles from a major metro area, I buy products without touching them and must depend on people like yourself for input. I haven't seen an ASUS box for many years and remember that computer as having questionable fit and finish. But perhaps that has changed.
