I like the Flash RAM concept, but MS needs to refine the OS a little more before I consider it a good alternative to system RAM. Too many system files (not to mention important DB's like contacts, etc.) have to to reside in RAM, and I do notice slow downs from time-to-time with my 4705 when almost all my RAM is gone...despite the fact that I've installed most everything I can on Storage RAM.

I think the best solution today, for me, is 96 or 128 MB system memory and 128+ Flash RAM. - Makes me think - as cheap as flash is getting, why don't we have 512 or even 1 GB of internal Flash.

Reminds me of the old Bare Naked Ladies Song - "If I had a million dollars" - I would build the Perfect PPC - iPAQ 4150 size with sliding keyboard, VGA, 128 MB RAM, 1 GB FLASH, built in WiFi, Bluetooth + plus GSM/GPRS/EDGE.

If OQO can cram a whole PC into that little thing my device certainly sould be do-able with todays technology. :twisted:
