Here's what I thought would...
Here’s what I thought would be a good Alphasmart product (I did e-mail them about it, and got a noncomittal “our engineers thought/are thinking about that” e-mail in response)
This would be a laptop replacement for a lot of things, with the instant-on advantage. It would not be a gamer, a multi-processing-many-apps=at once machine, but it would handle e-mail, IM, maybe browsing, and minimal word processing (think WordPad vs. Word).
I have considered buying a Jornada or some of the other HPC devices to get this functionality, but I’m risk-averse and don’t want to buy one if they’re not manufacturing them anymore.
