[Discuss] Palm Foleo, linux ultra-portable

[Steve Epp]

Just a few months ago I was googling 'low-cost ultra-portable', but came up
dry.  I did find the 'flybook' (http://www.flybook.biz), which has a HD and
runs XP, but it costs over $3,000 CAN.  It's great to see this new breed  of
mobile devices finding a place in the market.
