Transmeta Powered High-End Portable?

'Along with Windows XP, it will come with a 5800 Crusoe processor from Transmeta, a 10GB hard drive, 256MB of memory, connection ports for FireWire and USB (universal serial bus), and wireless networking connections through either WiFi or Bluetooth.' Sounds like a winner, considering they want it to cost LESS than 1000USD. Now, only if this didn't sound like vaporware."

    Only 256MB and 10GB. Just XP will use all that up.

    Under $1000 maybe. I don't consider this so much of "vaporware" though.

    I just can't see why you would try to hop into a market that has already shunned you several times before w/a device that seems so weak.

    256 is nice but the 10G is just too small these days. I have a 10G drive in my desktop that I have to keep under control (I have a 20G just for music) I could not imagine having to lug around a laptop that had so little space.

    What do I know though, right?

    It would be cool if Linux could be ported to it!
