"Of all the ultra-mobile PC's that arrived and will be arriving in 2007, Fujitsu's has been the most highly awaited. That's a serious claim, but as soon as people got a look at this device they started to get excited about it. After all, the first generation of UMPCs had some high points, but they missed the mark in a number of areas. The hope was that the arrival of the next generation would mark a considerable improvement."

I've been watching the U810 for a while now, and I'm seriously impressed with it. My initial plans were to replace the hard drive with a SSD to ruggedize it a little bit, so I wouldn't have to lug my 15" Thinkpad around on trips.
The only catches are the price, and I'm not sure about touchscreen support in Linux/FreeBSD. $999 is a nice price, especially for this price of other UMPCs without an actual keyboard, but it's a little bit more then used IBM/Lenovo X-series who don't have compatibility questions.
Hopefully this will survive to be based on the Intel Silverthorne platform.
