I think you missed my point, which was that you could buy (retail) 640x240
10 years ago. Now look at the way resolutions in other display technologies
have advanced in 10 years and figure what they could do today.

I don't want a multimedia machine or a desktop replacement. I want a
business machine. Small size, 12 hour plus battery life, and
"Microsoft Office Lite" software. A bright, clear display that I
don't need a magnifying glass to read, a 3/4 to 4/5 size keyboard, flash
storage instead of a hard disk. Instant on and off.
