The GrIDPad that I asked about in the previous message seems to be just
the first real product that aims at the DynaBook/Tablet (Alan Kay/Stephen
Wolfram) dream PC of the 90's - a portable machine for everyone with a
paper-like interface.

Rumor has it that there are several other companies working along these
lines - GO, Information Appliance, Momenta - has anyone heard anything
about these or other companies?
