That is why I do not compromise the keyboard. Today's keyboards like the HTC Shift, the OQO or so, are out of bounds. I bought the Libretto in 2002 in order to replace the Windows CE 2.11 Jornada. But I could not replace it because the Libretto was not instant-on like the Jornada. And the A5-size Libretto mini-notebook is difficult to carry - it needs a shoulder holster for the 1kg ~ 2.2 lbs. That is why I look for an UMPC instead of an A5-size mini-notebook or netbook. Suplemental: I can do 10-finger blind-type. That is why I do not compromise the keyboard.

Fortunately I am following the NASA strategy - as they do for the shuttle computers - because I collect Jornadas for later reassembling. My current architecture contains Jornada 690 with Windows CE 2.11 (since Dec 1999) and Libretto ff1100v with Windows 2000 on a 266MHz (since May 2002). The Libretto ff1100v is like a netbook. I bought the second Libby MINT for $400 including transportation from Corea in September 2005. I restored my image from the former Libby and that's it. Since 2002 I wait for a A5-size mini-notebook with touchscreen (the Fujitsu P1630 is a dream), and I am asking myself, wether I should have bought a Palmax 1100 with 640x480 touchscreen. I would have bought a Libretto U100 series, if it had had a touchscreen. But I changed my mind: Now I look for an UMPC with enough power for a real Windows, e.g. an improved HTC Shift X12000 or so, a viliv or Kohjinsha, or OQO, which could replace my Jornada, and a convertible like the announced convertible DELL XT2 12inch, which I could use for real work on a daily basis. I will not compromise the keyboard: Jornada is the reference. Though I am within the 1 percent above 500€. If my german comrades are serious about the price, they have to wait for many long years.

I would never pay more for a standard netbook. But the NC10 is not the Netbook of my choice... I preferr the Lenovo S10E for the same Price. I also think, for Germany, the “magical” price is 399€.

I will never pay that much again. I paid $570 (USD) because I had to have the Eee PC 1000H right now.
