Page 2 of the spec. 16GB basic model 449 Euro, 32GB+3G+GPS 569 Euro.
Plus taxes and delivery I assume. Availability August 2010.
6 hour battery life will limit usefulness for field work.
I think they need to do some more work on that pricing.
I like the touchbook[1]. It's in two parts so you can run with or without a
keyboard. ARM processor means good battery life but does limit you on a few
Intel only apps like Flash. (Is that really a downside ?) $299 or $399
although there is apparently a 2 month backlog.
Since I'm always looking for smaller portables for work. There's the psiXpda[2]
for fans of the old Psion. 1.1GHz Atom in a palmtop. At GBP 449 it's quite
pricy again, and they need to supply it with something other than Windows XP.
