hewlett-packard has released the Jornada 720 , wich is the first ( and so far only clamshell form factor ) Pocket PC based on the Chopin platform
This has a CF slot + a fully supported PCCard slot ( modem, networking ,storage, vgaout in ROM , scsi as free download from Adaptec )
The PCCard slot has sufficient beef to fire up the fancier ( but more power-hungry stuff like wireless networking cards and the IBM MicroDrive
It is based on both the 680/690 series and the now defunct 820 wich it replaces
Comments welcome

This could be as good as a 'winder or skiff for self-hosted development
