So they say they are going after developers, and not after the mainstream desktop market, and yet I cannot help but think that they are in a very good position: Between these cheap machines, the stability of Unix (compared to, say, 98 or NT), the ability to easily network them (and importantly, to administer them remotely), plus compatibility with MS Apps (StarOffice), they've got a fairly attractive option for business users, I thnk.
Well at least one of their books is available online (I mean in addition to the hardcopies of the linux NAG and such). Their Palm Programming book (rock dove cover, if anyone cares) is available on the 3Com palm developer's webpage. Of course I found this out about an hour after I got home from impulse-buying the hardcopy at an expensive-ish bookstore. Buggerit.
