The Ultimate linux PDA - Toshiba u100

It looks like the ultimate linux pda that is widely supported in the US and Canada isn't really a pda, rather it is the 2.1 lb Toshiba U100. "It looks like a clamshell pda but contains a full computer".

The good:
*Looks like full linux support
*Atheros Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11b/g out of the box by ubuntu
*Pentium M 753 1.20GHz
*60GB HD
*Full Linux support of Intel Graphic card
*Docking station includes W/R DVD player


The bad:
*The price $1.9K USD
*Toshiba's proprietary video out may need some fiddling - but will work
*Fingerprint reader won't work
*Some don't like the small keyboard
