The Vye Mini-V also looks intersting in this range.
If any of these types of device can certify Linux then they might be on to a winner.
Especially if like the Mini-V they can have a SIM card inserted.
Imagine it - a small, bullet-proof, truly portable PC which can be used for SSH and all of the GNU tools etc - this is what many sysadmins have been hankering after for years.
My only concern is that they currently run Windows and in portable mode may need to connect directly to the internet via a mobile phone modem or via an internal SIM card. So it would only be a matter of time before Windows (and therefore the PC) is screwed. Let's face it - visiting certain websites can break Windows these days.
Also, from (say) Debian we have a vast number of top rate tools for free - whereas Windows doesn't really have any.
