Come to think of it, why doesn't every N900 user get one of these too...
Jane, you ignorant slut.

Sure, I could just go out and LITERALLY get a laptop that fits in my pocket but then it would very hot, it wouldn't last long on a charge and it's likely to make me sterile. And as much as you want to see me go sterile, I'd rather deny you that favor and instead buy the device I WANTED. A lightweight, hopefully open-source friendly device based on ARM/RISC where I wouldn't WANT to run WINE, because I didn't get Linux to run Windows.
