They look very cool :-), at the price they look comparable in performance to
one of the earlier zaurus (5x00) machines. (but i expect these waycools have
far better batteries)

indeed, the 400mhx pxa255 is the same chip as in later versions of the SL5600
and is apparently quite speedy.

just looking further in, it has serial and usb expansion boards for $20,
(keyboard, ethernet and mouse anyone?) install Xvnc and you have the worlds
smallest internet cafe machine :-)
