Ultracapacitor

Similar energy density to Li-ion battery. It'll be interesting if this isn't vapourware.

Asus Eee

This is exciting. The Asus Eee. It's so inexpensive it's scary and it's a solid state system.

There's virtually no space and the screen is tiny so it's not laptop replacement. However, it's more portable and likely more comfortable in ones lap so it may be a great platform to take on the road.

I'm strongly considering buying one for ciding, especially since I can buy one with linux pre-installed.

iPods are Cheap Junk

This is the 3rd time my iPod has locked up in a year. Each time it does it you have to wait for the battery to fully discharge before using it again: Be careful not to plug it in, you could be in for a long wait. This isn't acceptable behavior, especially from a device with a sealed battery.

Next time I'm buying a Zune.
