Why would you want a device similar to this? Simple - convenience. I do not like the current handheld devices - I thnk that they all lack functionality I would like... similarly, my laptop, while having all the required functionality, is still to big and bulky for my tastes.
A device similar to this would fulfill my requirements perfectly - small enough for it not to be a burden to carry in my backpack while riding my motorbike, yet with(almost) all the features of previously mentioned laptop.
Granted, the device in question is not quite what I had in mind, and I certainly won't be rushing out to buy one, but I'm sure that I'm not the only person in the world who is waiting for the companies to develop a useful device that sits somewhere in between a laptop and a handheld palm pilot type device.
