First Windows CE device in space?

How cool is this? The Clio is in space! I've always been a huge fan of the Clio, and used my C-1000 heavily for several years. Now it seems the C-1050 has found a new home - in space.
"Astronauts on the International Space Station are using Clio� C-1050 Personal Digital Assistants (PDA) to review and record their daily mission activities and as their personal email systems, announced The Pinax Group, Inc., makers of the Clio�. Several Clio� C-1050 units, which are the only "flight certified" PDA�s, traveled aboard the space shuttle Discovery last August for deployment on the International Space Station making it the first PDA in space. The Clio�s versatile technology keeps the astronauts in touch, via email, with work and family during their time aboard the International Space Station."

I had one!
Wow, that's really cool. I had one of these 3 years ago and loved it. Even today I still don't use hardwriting recognition because I can't get it to work well for me. With my Clio, I could flip the top and type away. My only beefs were: 1) battery life sucked, 2) my screen was scratched after a week of using it. Coolness factor is high and everyone I sat next to on planes asked about it. Sure I couldn't put it in my pocket but it was more comfortable to use. Had to give it back when I left that job :-(.
Here's a pic I found (hope it works):
I thought they stopped making these.
Here's a link to ePinions for some more opinions on it:
