Such a great idea that wasn't released. As far as I know.

Irrelevant. The point stands that those units are of an imposing size. By the time you reach a device of that size, weight, and cost, you might as well buy a laptop instead. Those issues will prevent this item from doing very well.

No, the smallest Windows capable motherboard is not a Nano-ITX. The smallest Windows capable motherboards I know of are about the width and length of a credit card. Another example of tiny motherboards can be found here: http://www.icop.com.tw/products_detail. ... ductID=119

If I designed a commercial PCportable, I'd aim for maybe 400MHz (Via, or a 233 ULV celeron perhaps), and the size of a GBO. People want a handheld they can A) hold in their hand, and B) put in their pocket.
