Have a Warrior to Accompany Your Legionnaire

"First up, the "Legionnaire," pictured, is your average mid- to high-end WinMo slate -- HSDPA, GPS, Bluetooth, WiFi, 800MHz core, Windows Mobile 6.5, yada yada. Where it gets interesting, though, is what you do with the Legionnare; turns out i-mate wants you to plug it in to a $200 netbook shell with a 10-inch display codenamed "Warrior," which will use the Legionnaire both as its guts and as its touchpad."
Well, this is a step closer to what I want, except I'd prefer that the small device run a full operating system and plug into the netbook shell. But while I wait for that to happen, this looks like an acceptable solution for those who want two devices that are "meant" for each other and find Redfly's products intriguing.
