Should be a fun trip to Japan. I was just there in October and I saw
lots of tempting used libretto units in Akiba. Even saw a few of the
new model used at one shop for a pretty decent discount.

Anyways, back to Tokyo this next week for me! =) Will see if the 'used
Libretto' market for U100s are really at the 120,000 Yen pricing that Best PC
magazine said they had dropped to.
Of course, Libretto will have to come as well - to back up my photos (ack!
seems every time I upgrade to a higher megapixel camera, storage space becomes
a greater issue, running out of space even on a Libretto HD!). You can get
away with not bringing a computer at all to Tokyo - just rent a terminal at a
copy shop in Tokyo Underground mall or elsewhere.

Had a chance to see that Fujitsu P1510D tablet (2.2lbs model) convertable in
person at the latest Microsoft Visual Studio launch (great to go to these
Microsoft launches for free software! They gave out free Visual Studio 2005 to
everyone.).
Between the U100 and Fujitsu, the Fujitsu had the better keyboard (far easier
to touch type right away without errors at a fast rate), more comfortably sized
screen, and touch pen feature.
The U100 has the crisper, higher contrast screen due to the glossy contrast
enhancement top layer (but whether this is good depends on if you like seeing
your own reflection all the time), smaller size, etc.
Still, the Fujitsu does win out based on price alone ($1399 -

and the Libretto at $1899 is a bit silly given the $199 laptops on sale this
past Black Friday after Thanksgiving at Microcenter.com stores. (yep,
brand-new regular sized toshiba laptop for $199...)
