It doesn't seem all that huge to me. IF they can get close to an instant-on experience and improve battery life this would be a great device. Heck that's whats keeping the OQO from being a great device, IMO.

Alternatively, if they would just deliver True VGA apps, a decent fully compliant Web Browser and the 40 GB drive from the iPod (for media storage) into a PPC in the HTC Universal form factor, I would care less about the Ruby as that PPC would meet all of my mobile computing needs--provided battery life is reasonable.

I agree that it's more likely we'll see a micro-sized XP or Vista PC before we see the uber PPC I describe - simply because MS, Intel and others stand to make a lot more $$ from selling full versions of the software and hardware than they ever can dream of from our mobile devices. I think we are likely to see WM continue to blend into phone devices, and the desktop OS devices shrink to what we see today in our PDA's.
