That is neat looking....but that is a small screen....

Let's add this new smartphone into the (becoming very confusing mix):

Droid smartphone unveiled by Motorola, Verizon

Another way to browse the internet.....

I have an older model Android phone. My screen is a little smaller and I don’t have a physical keyboard but I can surf and post with it pretty easily.

That phone looks great but I’m not sure how well it would fit in my jeans.

Ah, the Sidekick. :’) Since MS took a big dump all over Sidekick user data a couple weeks back, there could be some decent crossover market. :’)

A netbook and a bluetooth serial adapter are the ticket for working on routers and switches in a crowded wiring closet.

I like the way the Lenovo doesn’t have that shelf below the keyboard, but that screen is analogous to the LCD screen Apple intro’d for the IIc (it can be seen, probably for the only time on full-motion video, in the movie 2010), full width but not tall enough. One would probably get used to it of course.

That first one looks a lot like the newest Nokia internet tablet. I have one of the early ones and it is a decent little surfer, but a pain to input text with. Just to put in your pocket and connect to whatever wifi you can find, though, it is nice.

I live in a rural area, though. Wish there was more wifi around here!
