Jim,

Re:"backlash against baby BAMBAM"

Nope.

It's called the $500 IPAQ from Compaq.
And other products like it.

Intel relies on selling lots of computers into the enterprise space.

Increasingly products like IPAQ will dominate IMHO providing less leverage to the CPU.

Gateway saw this with its stylish SOLO - a neat machine leveraging STYLE, a cool FPD etc etc.

IBM is also pushing into this space.

I suspect the days of CPQ/DELL/IBM/GTW selling $2000 desktop computers into fortune 500 companies to sit on every desktop are going to be long gone.

regards,

Kash
