Hm...Siemens makes ultramobile laptops through its extensive cooperation with Fujitsu.

(the 770 is NOT a laptop of course, but it's at least tangentially related).

If we're lucky, maybe Siemens can bring access to certain higher-end parts for the 770.

(I've got a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo m3438. It's not the greatest build quality, but has very high-end components at the lowest price in Europe...)
