airconvent: actually i used to modify netbooks. I did a touchscreen/3G modem mod to a eeePC 701 many years back. But the form factor just can't be beaten.
I happened to be a DIY hobbyist as well...

i do this kind of things

Thought I will put this here as its off topic. For those who fondly remembered this device when it was launched in 2004. [smilie=crying2.gif]

Holy Cow. You are right. I ebayed it just now and not a single return.
But it seems the company is back :

But I liked their old advert for the first model better. I even downloaded it when it was first released in 2004!

A fellow mod on ppcsg.com (now known as mobinauts.com ) used to own one and I played with it before. You can consider a Toshiba Libretto too or a tiny kochinsha? mini notebook normally found at the Besta counter in Popular. Cheers
