The manufacturer of those drives, Hitachi, has a 5 GB HD out now.  Also a normal iPod HD, (also made by Hitachi?) wouldn't take that much more room, and they have capacities of 80GB now!  I really don't see the excuse of not bundling one in, unless battery life was affected too greatly by any HD.<br><br>Basically what we are looking at is a PDA with a freakin' huge screen!  I wonder if it holds some world record...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Danny Lewis]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 12:09AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Motion Computing's thin client M1400TC tablet PC]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/26/motion-computings-thin-client-m1400tc-tablet-pc/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/26/motion-computings-thin-client-m1400tc-tablet-pc/</guid><description><![CDATA[A thin client just should not cost this much.

The whole idea of the thin client is NOT to store data on the machine. It is only a front end to access data on a backend server. This gives a company a centralized location of data for backup and management, etc. All the applications are managed on the server (so no upgrades, modifications or patches to the software is needed on the client PCs). If a user loses or breaks the thin client, no big deal since there is no critical data strored on it. Also viruses and spyware goes down to a minimum. Battery life should be improved since there are no spinning disks, etc... All the pros out weigh the cons any day. Of course this geared for a corporate market, since very few households have servers that will operate as a backend for applications, etc. But maybe one day this will all change and we will all be on this.<br><br>--Eric]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Eric Fellen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 12:09AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
