This looks PHAT! Check out the specs....
The U50 sports a 900 MHz Celeron processor along with 256MB of memory. The U70 has a Pentium M 1GHz chip with 512MB of RAM. Both come with a 20GHz hard drive and run Windows XP Pro.
The screen is a 5-inch TFT touch screen that produces an 800 by 600 pixel image. Wireless networking (802.11b/g) is built in, as are slots for Compact Flash and Sony's Memory Stick, a USB 2.0 port and a stereo headphone jack. There are four additional USB 2.0 ports, an iLink port, VGA out and 10/100Base-T networking available on a little dongle.
The U50 also comes with a docking station, a stylus and a stereo headset with control unit. The standard battery is said to last 2.5 hours. An optional enhanced battery could last 5.5 hours but adds extra weight to the tiny package.
Edit: Can you say stealth 24/96 ;D

"Both come with a 20GHz hard drive and run Windows XP Pro."
MSNBC should have computer literate people writing articles about computers. What the heck is a "20GHz hard drive?" Thats one friggn fast hard drive.
Sound like a cool little divice. I would totally be into something like that. Price is little high for me though. Hopefully in a year they can get something like this down to about a grand.

My thoughts are in that thread already. But I say don't get your hopes up.
