Hell, not only was it done with the U3, even the Clie had a more functional keyboard.

This was done 4 years ago by sony in the carnation of the vaio u3. (which I still have) Infact the vaio u3 has a pmca slot, allowing you to put any data card in there, (grat for us in the UK, that use differnt 3g carriers).

The size of the flip start is not all the different the resolution is not a good as the vaio u3. My vaio u3 has 512 mb, vga built in.

Other than that gimmiky little screen on the top of the lid, which will get scratched and marked, the flipstart looks like a nonstart, if you get what I mean.
