If the XPphone had a variant with:
SDHC card slot (specs don't seem to mention one)
ARM CPU
Android or Maemo (or Ubuntu with telephony) (even better: VMWare's ARM port, with all 3 of those OSes as guests*)
DVI-I instead of VGA
T-Mobile USA 3G
Then I'd be interested.
But, with XP and Windows 7 as the OS choices? Sorry, I have self respect, and standards. Those rule out such a device.
(* On the move, I'm not sure if I'd primarily use Android or Maemo, sleeping the other until I need something specific ... but I'm sure I'd only really use Ubuntu when I dock it to a KVM switch -- sort of my pocketable nettop; of course, realistically, even if the rest of this device variant was available, Maemo wouldn't be, so it'd probably be VMWare + Android running most of the time, and waking up Ubuntu as needed)
