Love my z50.
IBM's offering looks a little out of scale(smaller) than the z50. I'm intrigued by the clamshell design.

The announcement creates new opportunities for companies to deploy applications more rapidly by using the flexible, open--standards based Linux and Java™ platforms. Companies will also have access to a rapidly expanding community of developers building applications that enable mobile access to enterprise data.

How much of a demand does the Linux/(Java Capable) Operating system place on having hard disk storage?
I spent a month learning, all I needed to know, that I dislike using Linux, period. I've got other friends, whom I can ask questions, that go ga-ga over Linux and can do a couple of things really well with Linux(diskette based firewall) and hours not getting other useful things to work.
Cute little toy, I'll wait till IBM has a warehouse that they need to clear for space, like they did for the z50, and dump all these ($1400 whatever devices) on the market for $125 again.
