Yes :)
But, I'd love to have a Palm with a larger screen. It would be much
better than the handheld/pocket form factor for many things, including
web browsing and other Internet stuff, reading ebooks, sketching, and
for many miscellaneous applications. (I should mention that I have a
few friends who simply *cannot* use a handheld, because the screen is
too small for their weak "over 40" eyesight.)
Maybe I went too far saying a 12" display. How about 5x7" or 6x9", making
it about the same size as a typical book? It wouldn't be pocketable, but
it would fit nicely in a pocketbook, briefcase, or a student's backpack
(a nifty replacement for those heavy, old-fashioned books).
These are called Tablet PCs but new ones are pretty expensive. One
example is TC1100 with removable keyboard

I have its older cheaper brother TC1000 from second hand and it is very
neat (but slow and a bit noisy).
Or if you want something smaller running linux already (when palmsource
is only talking about it) look at Zaurus or new Nokia 770

I have one N700 right here and it is very neat too :-) I wonder when/if
Palm/PalmSource will match this with their PalmOS on Linux concept.
