I have just been to our local "university computer dealer". According to one
of the salespersons, Olivetti is going to ship their 20 Mhz 386 SX notebook
in the middle of May (which probably means the middle of June :-) ), rather
late anyway.
 
This notebook includes the usual features like a paper-white VGA-screen,
40 mb HD, and a kind of pointer that is equivalent to the "mouse/pointer"
on the PSION's. This device is a square of about 3 by 3 inches - located above
the keyboard, on the right - on which you can indicate the position of the
mouse by using your hand).
 
The salesperson also told me that the price of this system should be about
US $ 2200.  A 16 MHz 286 version would cost about US $ 1700.
 
My question is: does anybody know more about this?
 
Regards
