(And the state of the art in Palm OS browsers lags that of other devices.)
WRT the ASUS 9" model, what I'm looking for is a device that does a large enough subset of normal tasks that it can replace a laptop in most cases. The concern is weight, and (to a lesser extent) battery life. A lot of what I do on desktop or laptop really needs a larger screen. (The desktop, for instance, has a 19" monitor in 1600x1200 mode. If I had room on the desk that holds it, there would be two of them...) I like the current ASUS models, but want a bigger screen.
And I don't care for the thumbboards on various of the devices. If I need to do any extended keyboard entry, I'll get a bluetooth folding keyboard.
