Where Would You Buy A Crusoe Laptop?

Misha asks: "I have been following Transmeta's news briefs for a little while and besides the stock's constant decline, there seems to be some life to the Crusoe. This story indicates that a new Crusoe-based laptop is appearing in China. Does anyone actually own one or an equivalent from some other manufacturer? Could you please post a review? Pros and cons from anyone reading would be appreciated." Unfortunately, it doesn't look like things have changed in the past year. Besides goods from specialty importers like dynamism.com (check out the Bluetooth camera!), the only Transmeta devices widely available in the U.S. seem to be the last few generations of Sony's Picturebook. I'd hoped for a tidal wave of them -- is there any hope of more widespread Crusoe laptop presence? Or are there good sources already?

    But they don't secrete Code Morphine like the Crusoe processor does. The handy drain/capture device built into the Crusoe's heat sink gathers up the morphine as it's secreted for easy transfer to the needle for injection.

    Here it is. I've been looking at this one since it's inexpensive and small (and has good battery life)

    With notebooks like this, why would you buy a portable dvd player?
