I've been hoping to get my hands on about 10 or 20 of these for kind of an oversized PDA (for audio and visual tours)... as long as I can install Flash, It will work just fine. Did anyone get to pick one up and see how heavy/annoying it is to carry? I would be wanting to lend these to customers, so a PDA is too small (pockets, thieves etc) and I want something that could even potentially be attached to a neckstrap (or something). The battery life isn't so hot, but I doubt that the customers would have the things open *all* the time. Anyone know if bigger/longer life batteries are being sold for it? Ian McDonald wrote:
You might have seen this selling for $599 at Dickies. It runs Linux and a good review at Ars Technica here:

My take on this device is that it's not as innovative as the OLPC and it isn't fully featured enough. Better to buy a second hand or cheap laptop.
