Mmmm, I loves me some vaporware. Mythguy, how about you kill this story and post again once the full specs (including price) are out, and it's available for sale? That'd be the polite and considerate way to spam Digg.

There already IS a linux UMPC. It's the Nokia 700 or Nokia N800. They're both a UMPC running BSD and an alternative linux version created by Nokia (Maemo). The N800 is great for Skype, web browsing, taking notes, and e-mails. Not much more. It's more of an expensive gadget for tech enthusiasts, but can be used in te business environment. They are also user-modifiable, all the way to the kernel level and the ROM.
