I don't get it.  This is nothing more than a somewhat crippled laptop.  It
is just as big, if not bigger than the laptops I see every day.  And, it
doesn't have a screen, which is great for power, but sucks if you want to
share something or if something goes haywire and sighted assistance would
be useful.

It doesn't replace a PDA as I am not likely to lug around something that
big in the same way that someone carries a PDA.

For the same price, or probably a little more once you include a screen
reader, you could get a fully functioning laptop.

Oh well.  I guess I'll have to go out and develop my own PDA. GRIN

Later.
