Fujitsu Stylistic LT 500 Tablet PC



 Anyone own a Fujitsu Stylistic LT 500 Tablet PC? I see then selling on 
eBay (off lease) for about $150:

and they seem to have specs similar to (but not quite as good as) 
Samsung's Q1 tablet machine, which sells for 4 times that. 

8.4" TFT touch screen, 500 MHz Celeron CPU, 128 MB, WiFi, PCMCIA, USB, 
and CF slot. They have a 6 GB hard drive, but if I got one I'd replace 
that with a 4 GB CF card. 

These units come with W2K loaded, but there are several reports of being 
using Linux with them:

With a light-weight Linux distribution and a memory efficient browser, 
it could make a nice portable web tablet.
