Origami mini PC

Microsoft have launch their new mini PC thing, I'm not sure where it fits in though. It's a bit big to be truly pocket size like current handhelds and looks a bit too small to be as functional and some of those tiny laptops that are around. The killer is the price supposed to be £669! Seems a bit much really, you could get a reasonable laptop for that, probably even a top of the range handheld.
The specs are ok but not outstanding.
Intel Celeron 900mhz
40 GB hard drive
7 inch WGA screen
Weighs 779g
Bluetooth
I'm not sure it will be a success, but it will be interesting to see if it dies a miserable death or not. I usually like hitech gimmicky gadgets but this doesn't seem much like something I'd want to rush out and buy, not for that price anyway.

It's pretty much panned on the CNET tech news site

Amusingly one of the comments calls it an Apple Newton
