@mroach I had one at the time they were "new" and it felt so modern. The display is quite high resolution for the size, and the CF + SD capability was great. I had the folding keyboard and I think there was a camera that fit in the SD slot too?

The Synaptics touch pad was an awesome addition, but I don't remember getting much use out of it.

Some of my earliest "proper" Internet experiences were wardriving Wi-Fi (we didn't have it at home) or using cellular data via my Motorola V500 using Bluetooth (which was impressive in itself!).
