It looks great, but I don't think it will fit in my pocket or fit my pocketbook.

im pretty sure you can install linux. drivers might be a different story.

Yeah, size wise i dont think you can fit it in your shirt pocket or pants but i dont put mine in either places. i mostly put mine in my backpack. i havent seen it personaly but im curious to see what it looks like in my hand. from the gallery, i like the way the screen folds over, it just looks smaller that way

price, yeah a little over twice the price fo the new 810. i have a n770 and if i were to upgrade, i think my choice will be either the 810 or the fujitsu. my main use is mainly browsing while im in bed and so far the n770 has full filled my needs.

just seeing what people thoughts are on this.

I looked at this a while back to put linux on it.

What I found when I searched didn't look promising: Linux installs, but you have no touch screen drivers, ditto for the finger scanner and camera, which makes it a bit useless. I have read somewhere recently though, that there are now touch screen drivers from Xorg.

Too bad it runs linux. And uses a CF card slot instead of an PC-Card or Express Card slot.

And, someone up there said they like the price. I don't. Too expensive.

Otherwise, nice. That's the kind of "twist screen" for tablet vs notebook I had been talking about. At 6", it might be slightly too wide for thumb typing though. That'd be unfortunate.

So, maybe slightly smaller, PC card or express card, native linux install with full driver support, and maybe closer to $600. Then I'd be interested.

It runs windows, and I belive the 'nice price' was sarcasm.

heh. Brain fart. I meant "too bad it runs windows" and/or "too bad it doesn't run linux". Thinking faster than I was typing.
