Hey!! Thats my Loox!
With the Loox I have found landscape mode to be quite natural (but only in VGA mode, where most of the screen is not wasted on the status bar etc). The grooves at the side and the square shape makes it relatively easy to hold. Terminal service and logmein etc has been very usefull and easy to use also, and its nice to have full access to Word and MyIE etc.
With the higher resolution devices and wifi these solutions are finally coming of age. The only problem is the price of wireless data here in the UK (e.g $5 per megabyte), otherwise I would be doing this regularly using my 3G phone.

PS: Probably the reason why the Mac desktop scaled down so well is due to so much space being wasted on eye candy and rediculously large icons
PS2: Nice article. May I suggest he gets a folding keyboard instead of growing long nails, for all of our good.
PS3: Im glad to see he acknowledges that his mac also crashes (and it sounds like quite frequently too (but that his pocketpc setup is quite stable). Does he not know its not wise to use your main machine as a firewall also?
