It’s been on the front page of digg for a while, so it’s probably old news to most of you. The device looks like some sort of a mini-tablet PC similar to the OQO. There is a video of it (save to desktop to view in proper resolution): \*\*[[U]http://creativecoremedia.com/mso.swf[/U]](http://creativecoremedia.com/mso.swf) \*\*

The rumored cost is under $500. While I don’t like taking notes or writing things on paper, I couldn’t justify spending a lot for the tablet notebooks you can get today. If this device really does provide great notetaking ability (hopefully OneNote will be bundled with it), then I might look into getting one.

Anything is better than the several shelves of notes I have accumulated over the years 😏

Cheers!
