I echo a replacement for the jornada....

Though I would rather see it in a form factor more similar to the "Sigmarion 3" thinner and lighter than J720/728 with screen at least 800x480... Or if you will like the eee PC but nearer the Sig3 in size and touch screen instead of silly trackpad.

Be nice to have somthing like that where screen can flip so it would work as tablet as well..

"Eww an HP UMPC? Please no!"

because this industry will never take off as long as only small PC market players like Samsung, Sony, OQO make devices.

this market needs giant PC players like Dell & HP to make UMPC's. that will be the only way to bring these products to the mainstream & bring down prices.

Restore CD's with all products. Why do I have to lonse my fully functioning TX1000 for a week and have all my data wiped because your program only allows lx restore disc creation, and even stuffs that up.

I would like to second calls for a successor to the tc1100, but widening the call to a modestly specced (ie cheap) pure slate tablet PC.

A widely available (ie in Australia) slate from a manufacturer that is palatable to businesses would be my desire.

My LX200 was great. Ahead of its time more than 15 years ago. An instant on PC compatible computer that ran for days on AA batteries, wireless printing, with those great HP calculator style buttons and useful PDA software included. How about an instant on long battery life useful ultraportable computer again?

Another vote for an updated Jornada 720/728 type device (although it could surely be much thinner & lighter with current tech.).
CE6; 6" 800x480 tft screen; CF & SDHC slots (ditch the pcmcia & smartcard slots); wifi/BT; built in hsdpa or evdo; usb host; vga out; and that great keyboard.
Nothing groundbreaking or impossible required.

I would also like to see an updated Jornada 728 type device. Meaning that it should be clamshell type, with LED backlight, daylight readable screen, discreet video, builtin WIFI, and bluetooth, SVGA out, same keyboard, and screen size, USB host, and office compatible software. (Not just viewers.)

An answer to HTC Shift!

its probably too late to make a difference, but I'd like a refresh of the pda/smartphone line, perhaps incorporating the styling that they've implemented on their laptops (ie. shiny piano black finish). Maybe they can try the sideways sliding qwerty keyboard, instead of the existing qwerty offerings that have a square 240x240 screen. alternatively, they can have another go with the tx1000, but with a more responsive touchscreen and an intel processor :)

tc1200 (tc1100 with Core 2 Duo) at 1500$ for students :-P
