The Zaurus has a 3.7" 640x480 screen, which apparently works out to something like ~144dpi. Personally, I love it. I just wish I were in the market for another small laptop - The U100 sounds like a great unit. Unfortunately I'm looking for something to replace my IBM A21p - it has a fantastic 15" 1600x1200 display, but the PIII-850 is a little anemic for a desktop replacement machine these days. Tory
