Gateway is doing everything it can to get out from under the commodity PC business where top dogs Dell and HP reign supreme. In fact, Dell is doing the same by removing the "Computer" name from their official name, but that is another story. One of the areas Gateway may head is into the PDA business with a Pocket PC.
"Also among the future business products demonstrated by the company were a PDA model that will most likely be based on Microsoft's Pocket PC software, a "convertible" tablet PC and a notebook with a 17-inch display and integrated numeric keyboard. A convertible notebook has a screen that opens, then rotates 180 degrees and folds back down to create a slatelike writing surface."
So, who wants a Pocket PC that goes "Mooo" when it boots up? :D
