I'm shopping for a laptop, this is not what I had in mind, but it is gosh-darn cooler than hech.
Welcome the OQO
http://www.oqo.com/
It is a laptop crammed into a space slightly bigger than a palm pilot.
It runs WinXP (look for a linux hack later), has 1 gh Transmeta proc, 256 MB ram, 20 gig HD, USB port, and a docking station is available (to plug the thing into a real monitor, keyboard, and mouse -- if you have need of such things)
Comes with wireless networking and bluetooth as well.
Cost: $1,900. -- hey what did you expect.
Drawback: not enough room to fit a CD drive, and the battery only lasts 2.5 hours.
That said, I think this is the device that could be a very good PC for a lot of people. If they can get firewire and a longer battery life into it I can definatly see me buying one of these.
Here is another article on the OQO.
