It seems the small-scale computing market is hotting up again. Here's another from HTC being marketed by T-Mobile:

Note the postscript about a 7inch screen soon - same size as the nice little Psion Series 7/netBook that disappeared a while ago. When Lambeth Y6 children were using this it proved to be a very suitable size for them, easy to carry in hand or bag and big enough for some 'real' uses that PDAs aren't up to.

But you won't want to put one in your pocket . . .
