Clamshell designs just don't suit me.

OK, there is something I can agree with on all counts. I have never tried the open Einstein, although I did write to steve jobs once asking if he would release the source code to the newton.
You will be suprised to know he didn't reply.
Also, while the Rosetta (printed) handwriting recognizer was an Apple product, ParaGraph (the cursive recognizer) wasn't and isn't. ParaGraph is now property of PhatWare and lives on as PenOffice for Windows (I believe Rosetta has been unearthed -- to keep the metaphore afloat -- as Inkwell).
And finally, Jobs is Satan, and will never reply to mails about Newton.
On the terminology: OpenEinstein is the virtual NewtonOS itself; Relativity are all the hooks into "normal" hardware peripherals and file systems.

Probably an N78 or an N82 with US 3G. My N75 is dying and the battery life is terrible anyway.

I think what you are describing is called the eee 9 incher for 499$. Coming out end of april. I know that is what I'll be getting to add to my wm6.1 dash/excaliber and delightfull n800 only problem is i don't have any more pockets ¤
