Handspring has finally announced their Palm clones. Of course, they haven’t yet met the vapor test, but they’re supposed to be cheap and really cool. They have an expansion slot too. No pictures yet.


More hardware news: IBM is about to start selling thin servers that run Linux. Unfortunately, they’re going to cost about $4,000. When is someone going to come out with a tiny server for about $500 that I can use at home for IP masquerading and perhaps mail relaying? I could get a perfectly capable desktop PC for that price, but I want something really small I can stick on a bookshelf.


Remember the JavaStation? Sun’s latest glorified X terminal, Sun Ray, has been announced.
