Laptops are too F'n HUGE. The biggest device I ever want to carry again is a Samsung Q1. Anything bigger or heavier than that is dead weight. I've switched to riding public transportation to work (I'm saving $250/mo by doing so). I don't want to whip out of freakin' laptop so that I read Livejournal, this site, chat on Yahoo/AOL/IRC, and read my mail and RSS feeds. When I'm on the train or express bus, I want to uses something like... an N810 or Q1 (if only the Q1 had a native ubuntu port; though ubuntu mobile is almost ready for prime time, I hear).

Frankly, 11"+ laptops are dinosaurs. If you need a bigger screen than a NIT/MID/UMPC/netbook, use a desktop or get glasses. If you need to be mobile, your laptop is a boat anchor, pick something else.

And, really, "techie guy in a boardroom"??? techie guys don't go into boardrooms. By that time, they're no longer techie guys. They're pointy-haired guys. (and, really, I couldn't give a crap what's vogue for the board room; I go into senior management meetings with my N810, and I have yet to have a problem)

Last ... the link you provide shows a device with Windows ... are you on the right web site? hawking Windows to Maemo users? really? Perhaps you'd like to suggest a device that comes with a real OS?
