Yes, I would like one of these tiny computers. It's unfortunate that manufacturers haven't really changed the dimensions and weight of the laptop over the past few years. Why not make a good, basic, very lightweight and small computer instead of keeping the same basic form factor and continuing to add disk space and processor speed, etc. Sure the laptop computers on the market today are much more powerful than those available a few years back, but they look and feel almost exactly the same. The tiny IBM prototype referred to above is the right idea, but it won't go into production for a couple of years.

There are a few subnotebook computers on the market, but they are mostly only available in Japan, and they still cost too much. Guess I'm waiting for a Palm or PocketPC that is a little bigger and comes with a keyboard and bigger screen.
