As for the Vulcan Mini-PC. *shrugs* What's the big deal? Toshiba has had sub notebooks for years. The Sony Picturebooks are a thing of beauty. There are other that I can't think of off the top of my head but the point being is that this is nothing new.

800 x 400?

I'm quite tempted to say those 200 pixels will be the death of the device.

Hey - while we're talking about this particular item, does anyone know of a good site that's dedicated to and has a lot of info on sub-notebooks and the like?

Live long and prosper!

If you read the article, one of the better features is this:

"And the Mini-PC is far smaller than a conventional laptop computer -- about the size of a paperback book, 1 inch thick and weighing about a pound. Compared with the Sony VAIO U1, a small laptop, it's less than half the size and about 60 percent of the weight, with about the same display size, Vulcan says."

As a road warrior who hates a computer laptop bag, I drooled over the Libretto, I drooled over the Picturebook, and I'll drool over this while while using my Fujitsu Lifebook P2110.

At least I like where the technology is going.

Whether it is this device, tablet PC or some other ultra portable PC... WHY O' WHY CAN'T THEY PUT A WINCE OS (and another power button) IN IT AND UTILIZE THE INSTANT ON FEATURE OF THAT OS/PROCESSOR WHILE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF A LARGER SCREEN AND ALL THE OTHER INTRINSIC FEATURES OF AN ULTRA PORTABLE PC?!!!??

The upcoming Samsung NEXIO has exactly that ability. So did the old Vadem Clie. Take a look at the "HPC dying" thread...

Not quite a laptop, but cool nonetheless

But regarding Paul's machine, there are already PCs like this in Japan. Sony has been making them for several years now and they are only about 20% larger than Paul's computer.
