Some current Palm models contain a subset of the above features and the move
from Palm OS (just renamed Garnet) to Linux (backward compatible) is
imminent. You would have to compromise display resolution though. The
release of the new Linux-based OS (PalmSource/ACCESS) is set for the middle
of this year, IIRC, so there is likely to be some model released at that
point. Maybe even a Treo, which boasts something the Nokia Internet tablet
does not have--telephony. It does VoIP, as well.
