LifeDrive-Notebook alternative?

This PDA has a 4Gb internal hard drive!! 'PalmOne


The very first PDA that shipped with a hard drive was thhe Sharp Zaurus SL-C3000 but it was only available in Japan.

First looks: Very Impressive!!

It weighs only 6.8 ounces but jam-packed with features that include:-
  • 416MHz XScale processor
  • 65MB of RAM
  • 4GB hard drive
  • 480 x 320-pixel
  • 3.9-inch TFT
  • SD slot
  • 802.11b
  • Bluetooth
  • plays MPEG and AVI video
  • plays MP3 audio
  • Palm OS 5.4.
  • USB cable interface

    Negatives :-
  • probably the price : US 499 (Around RM2000).
  • Battery not swappeable - that's a big boo boo in my books

    PalmOne markets this as a "notebook alternative" and it's pretty cool.

    The LifeBook is now no. 1 on my wishlist (or My-Never-Can-Afford-To-Own-Dreamlist).
