Flybook micro-laptop reviewed

Not the first time we've seen it reviewed, but the New York Times' David Pogue got his hands on the very small and very stylish Flybook for a review, but found a few too many tradeoffs to justify the crazy $2,490 pricetag. What you get for the price is a full-featured Windows XP laptop that's about the size of a DVD case and weighs just 2.7 pounds. Crammed inside is a 40 or 80GB hard drive, 512MB RAM, a less-than-impressive 1GHz Transmeta Crusoe processor, and a battery that'll only give you 2 or 3 hours of running time. It also has built-in WiFi, Bluetooth and, of course, integrated cellular data. Not suprisingly, some of the biggest drawbacks are the keyboard and their take on the touchpoint, which of both seem to be awkward at best. Still, you know we want a fleet of 'em for our crew — well, that or a bunch of OQOs.
