Coffee Break — Little Laptop, Littlest Laptop
HTC Advantage, MacBook (not in L-R order)
I’m hanging out in the local beanery, working away and generally messing with those around me who not only keep asking me about my “tiny laptop,” but are blown away when I tell them it’s two years old. I’m not bad; I’m just drawn this way.

Aww, James, do you really need to trick people into thinking your uber-phone is a microlaptop? Hahaha. Granted, if I had a phone that baller, I’d totally do the same thing.
Not a phone, it has no SIM in it at the moment. :)
Jim, I brought my Advantage 7501 to Sorrento, Italy. Watched movies and read e-books on the flight over and back. Enjoyed the former as well as the internet at our small boutique hotel during the 10 day stay in Sorrento.
Though I now have a Samsung NC10, I’ll grab the Advantage (without keyboard)for a quick e-book read at the local coffee shop. It’s a winner in my opinion.
I am waiting to see if the Pixel Qi technology will finally make it to a netbook to allow comfortable reading in bright sunlight. Enjoy your posts.

Lol, nice Jessica Rabbit quote.

If people get that kind of interest in the HTC Advantage, then it pleases me because it means that I’m not the only one demanding a screen bigger than most smartphones offer. 5″ is TOO big, though; I need something more along the lines of the HP iPAQ hx4700 or Samsung Mondi to remain pocketable. (Well, I take that back-the latter is almost EXACTLY what I want. Just needs a full-size SDHC slot. More choices would be nice, though.)
I have the same things: MacBook Pro 13″, iPhone 3g and HTC Advantage 7501. It might be the old one, but it has a leather bound aluminum case and goes everywhere with me. If I need to read, journal or study a book and take notes the HTC is the way to go. When I am on a place the HTC is turned on first. Hard to beat the format for what iti is made for. If/when apple makes something like this the idea is going to come to everyone. If apple allows a tethered bluetooth keyboard.
