Hey! Palm, just brought back the Psion!

Take it from the UMPC crowd. This is a niche that is tough to fill. You can’t clip it on your belt or put it in your pocket. You basically need a bag to carry it. So if you have a bag with you, why not bring along a proper notebook computer? Honestly, they’re not that heavy.
Stop this intermediate form factor nonsense and start innovating expandable displays for mobiles. Make a ultra-high DPI screen and give people a magnifying glass, make an OLED display that connects wirelessly to the phone and folds up into your wallet, invent solid, reasonable ways to type directly on touchscreens and make the whole surface of the device a screeen (ahemiPhoneahem). You’re not going to find some magical sweet spot in the full-keyboard size range.
Though, actually… that Psion was as close to a sweet spot as you could get. Memories…
