I am just so not ready/energetic to get familiar with a new OS (Linux).....
I'm trying to figure out how the "Origami" compares with a Treo 700....

There is also Nokia 770, see
http://www.mobileburn.com/review.jsp?Id=1376 for a
review. It runs (Debian) Linux, which is by far
superior for this kind of use. The nerds developing it
live to shave off few processor cycles, and in an
underpowered device like a palmtop that is important.
Battery life ís still pretty bad.
In a presentation a while ago a Nokia R&D guy made an
interesting point. If we were to do full multi-media
on a cell phone, assuming we had good enough
batteries, the whole thing would be literally too hot
to handle.
Agree on Macs, five year olds can use them but I am
totally lost. Well, at least you can start a terminal
in OSX nowadays.
