Has anybody here seen or used this device?  It's very unusual!

Intel Mobile Pentium III 600MHz processor, 64MB memory, 10GB hard drive, modem
and 10/100 Ethernet---plus a unique "pivot" 10.4-inch enhanced IBM TFT display.
There's full PCMCIA support, Windows 2000, 2 USB ports and more! A full
notebook, cleverly built into a portfolio! But that's not all! There's also a
plain-paper notepad on the right side---which actually captures your
hand-written notes---and stores them for you (without even turning on the PC) as
editable text!

Also, I think it's got a touch screen (i.e., use with a stylus).  The $1800
"regular" price seems inflated, but at $700 I wonder whether this might be as a
reasonable (and much faster) "replacement" for an iPAQ, especially for chess.
