I like it, but I’ll wait for the company to increase the screen size. The present screen looks hideous with its over-sized side paneling. It makes it look like a laptop with a PDA screen stuck to it.

I think a poster on that link that Martin posted had it right. That the screen is that way so that they can use the same casing with a bigger screen later on. The closest to this that I like is the HP TC1100, but those are $1,000 brand new and only have 802.1b and I don’t think HP makes them anymore. I have doctor offices that use the TC1100 for purely mobile RDP sessions. A similar device with a Flash Hard Drive could do the same and cheaper. Hopefully this will have RDP/Citrix client on it.

HP used to make a Jupiter line of sub-laptops like the Jornada 820 that ran Windows CE. What killed it was the cost. It had a downsized version of Windows and cost nearly as much as a laptop running the full Windows.
