Tragedy. Not really hoping for Mac OS on a tiny machine, (though I
wouldn't turn it down) but Unix would've been nice. I'll buy one if you
can run Linux on it. Still, there's nothing to compare to Newt OS for a
portable, tap-able, intuitive interface to make a really usable device.
Even five years later. Pity.
