Still, this begs some questions...  We have been very focused on a PDA
platform.  We have the opportunity here to look at the metaphor we are
working towards and question it a little.  A modular system perhaps
interconnected by bluetooth or 802.11b might be an interesting concept.
There is nothing to say that we have to stick to the Palm inspired form
and function we are used to.

Obviously at this stage there is nothing to stop us from turning the CPU
board into whatever we want, but before we dump some cash into a case we
might want to kick around some alternative ideas.

Later,
DonW...
